Property description
A delightful 2 or 3 bed property in approx 1/3rd acre plot, ample parking for vehicles or caravan/motor home and productive growing areas.
Located in the Yeo/Taw valley, this delightful detached property originally dates back over 300 years but has been adapted and extended to provide a characterful single storey dwelling. The accommodation offers 2 or 3 bedrooms (see floor plan), a light kitchen/dining room (by renowned local firm Ashgrove) over-looks the main gardens as well as a cosy living room at the heart of the home. There is a range which provides central heating (solid fuel) and a wood-burning stove to the living room. Water is filtered and treated from a private supply situated on adjacent Network Rail land. Drainage is private via a septic tank Due to the uniqueness of the home, all curtain rails and blinds will be included in the sale.
Outside is a real delight with various areas of lawn and planted beds plus productive vegetable plot and plenty of storage in the form of sheds and greenhouses. There is also ample parking and room to store a caravan or motor home on the large hard standing. The views across and down the valley are beautiful with an abundance of flora and fauna, Eggesford Forest is on the doorstep too with miles of trails for walking. Although adjacent to the road and railway (only the pretty Tarka line), the property has a great deal of privacy with in excess of 1/3rd acre, and offers a true slice of Devon at a competitive price.
