The house is located in a desirable private road, away from the main thoroughfare of the village, however incredibly convenient for amenities and transport links in Yelverton and Dartmoor.

The property is approached from a long drive, allowing ample parking, flanked by an attractive level lawned garden. To the side of the house is a detached garage and shed, which was a former stable.

The main living spaces are versatile and can be adapted to meet peoples needs. The main sitting room has a Morso wood burning stove and original features. This room opens to the dining area which creates a lovely entertaining space. The two other reception rooms are again of good size and are currently used as a sizeable home office, with an open fireplace and family room. There is also a useful shower room with a WC at the end of the reception hall and in turn the kitchen breakfast room. The kitchen offers opportunity for modernisation and provides space for a good-size family table and plentiful storage spaces. The side wall of the kitchen area requires repair and reinstatement. Off the kitchen is boot room, which has space for further appliances, and is a perfect space to remove coats and wellies after a walk, plus dog beds.
