Radford Grange, Dawlish

Located within a secluded gated development of beautiful private homes sits The Retreat, an elegant and immaculately presented thatched, three bedroom detached property built in 2005. A unique modern property that offers all the charm and character of a period building, the house enjoys views beyond its own garden towards the extensive, beautifully well-kept communal grounds and surrounding rolling South Devon countryside. Bordered by a stream, the private grounds are immaculately maintained with lovely young and mature trees, a summer house and small lake, all the feel of a rural country park which are for the exclusive use of Radford Grange residents. The house itself is light, of good proportions, well laid out and elegantly presented with underfloor heating throughout the property. The thatched roof, stone fireplace and timber latch doors add character charm to this modern house. Modern attributes include underfloor heating and uPVC double glazed windows.
