With far reaching views across the Devon rolling countryside to Dartmoor on the horizon, this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom family home offers a prospective purchaser the chance to have a wonderful rural lifestyle along with plenty of outbuildings, orchard, and grounds of about 0.8 acre.

Having been in the same family ownership for over 100 years this stone and cob home, with a later extension, has the most wonderful feel throughout and whilst offering dated but liveable accommodation with Dartmoor on the horizon forever present, it does give any new owner the chance to update as required. The moment you arrive you realise the chance to own a home like this in this location is not 16 to the penny.

The enclosed front porch is an ideal place for outdoor gear (before getting out of outdoor gear before coming into the sitting room) . This room is what owning a home like this is all about was it has a large inglenook fireplace on one wall with Clome oven, beams and solid fuel stove. A great room to snuggle up in during the winter months whilst looking out towards Dartmoor. A far larger double aspect family/second sitting room is found at the back of the property being some 23’ in length again with a fireplace and stove inset in a feature stone faced chimney breast. Leading off the room is a very useful good sized pantry with skylights.

The triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room is some 19’ long and although not deep does have the advantage of three sets of windows looking out over to Dartmoor. There is a range of dark oak units with extensive works tops on two sides. For cooking there is an oil fired Rayburn which heats the water and an electric cooker point provides the flexibility to turn off the Rayburn during the warmer months of the year. Finishing off the accommodation on the ground floor is an inner hall with stairs to the first floor, a rear porch/boot room and bathroom leading of the sitting room.

The first floor split level landing leads you to an enormous 19’ double aspect bedroom at the front having a range of cupboards and those views again. The same views are enjoyed from the other double bedroom at the front and from the single bedroom. Currently used as a games room the remaining bedroom is a large double aspect double room with views up the rear garden and a range of fitted cupboards and dressing table in situ. The family bathroom has a coloured three piece suite with shower over bath.

Adjoining the cottage is a boiler room and a ‘L’ shaped 32’ workshop with power and light. On the other side of the drive is a double garage with up and over door having power and light laid on and a sink with electric hot water unit. A log store shed, a timber shed with a plastic single skin oil tank and a greenhouse complete the range of buildings found here. At the top of the garden is a 34’ tractor shed/barn, an open sided implement store, and traditional garden shed.

At the front these are traditionally planted out and being southerly facing provide an ideal spot to sit and ponder listening to the sounds of rural life around and the views towards Dartmoor which can be seen from one end to the other. A traditional low stone wall runs along the lane edge.

The rear garden to begin with rises gently and is laid to lawn with a dividing hedge and gate, which leads into the top part of the gardens. Again, this is predominantly lawn with a variety of mature fruit trees. Our clients assure us it was a great place to camp out as kids! Some of the plants and shrubs that can be found within the garden include, rose, hydrangea, choisya, potentilla, cherry, spirea, weigela, bottle brush and such. Wandering up the garden, the views just get better and better spread out before your eyes.
