Property description
A charming four bedroom DETACHED HOUSE built to the original owner's individual specification in the 1950's and occupied and meticulously maintained by the current owners as their family home since 1980. The house, in a country lane setting, stands in a super garden a true 'GARDENERS DELIGHT'.
The garden is southerly facing with a range of patios providing sunshine and seclusion throughout most of the day, lawns flanked by borders stocked with a profusion of year round planting and a productive fruit and vegetable garden. The house enjoys outstanding views over this popular village with the rolling countryside of the Dart valley beyond. The house is positioned so that all of the principal rooms enjoy both sunshine and the open views. The ground floor offers three interconnecting reception rooms including a conservatory blurring the boundary between house and garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of integrated and fitted appliances and there is also a handy downstairs W.C. Upstairs are the four bedrooms. A balcony with wonderful views opens from the main bedroom, two of the smaller bedrooms were originally one larger bedroom and could easily be reinstated back to one bedroom with the option of adding an en-suite facility. There is also a bathroom which is luxuriously appointed. Gas fired central heating and uPVC double glazing are installed. Parking is provided by a garage plus driveway parking. There is scope for further extension if a new owner wished to enlarge the accommodation.

These are complimented by various shady spots framed by arbors and shrubs. At the other end of the garden is a mini orchard, a wide variety of fruit bushes and a productive kitchen garden.
