Seller’s Insight:

When I viewed this property for the first time, I was attracted to its feeling of peace and tranquillity. Whether I was inside or outside, I could relax and enjoy the views of the trees and the sound of the birdsong. Waking up and looking out of my bedroom window to views of Dartmoor has been an experience I appreciate every single morning. The space and light inside the property add to this feeling of ease which made the property feel like home.

Being a keen gardener, the size of the garden was a big draw for me. Many a happy hour has been spent cultivating the garden and the vegetable plot. I have loved growing my own produce. It is wonderful to pick my own vegetables to cook straight away, my food is always fresh and full of flavour. I have planted apple trees, pear trees and a plum tree. Some of these had fruit last year and will have again this year. There are lots of fruit bushes from which I have made pies and jam.

When I am not working on the garden, I can sit back and enjoy the haven I have created. The patio is the perfect sociable spot to enjoy the first and last meal of the day as it captures both the sunrise and the sunset. And I enjoy sitting on the bench at the far end of the garden and be totally immersed in nature and birdsong.

The garden can be enjoyed in colder weather too. The winter sunsets are amazing to watch while sitting in the sitting room being warmed by the wood burner. The double aspect windows offer a panoramic view of the sun setting, it is truly beautiful.

The house is nicely situated on the edge of the village, off the main road and down a quiet country lane, offering opportunities for country walks, short or long, and easy access to Exeter. The house is raised enough to give privacy from the lane. The patio offers opportunity to be able to chat to villagers as they walk by. The Garden Centre with the Post Office is just a short walk away.

I have enjoyed my time here, and it has been a great base for exploring further afield. I hope the new owners enjoy the peace and tranquillity that this property has given me.
