Dolton, Winkleigh

This beautiful home explores the boundaries of those seeking a period home as well as appealing to those that prefer the village location. Ideal for the expanding family this very well proportioned home set over two floors has so much to offer. It could also appeal to those requiring a place for multi-generational living or even act as single storey living with guest accommodation to the ground floor. Bedroom one serviced by its own family bathroom. If you are looking for that wow factor, wait until you see the piste de resistance. The living room has high vaulted and beamed ceilings, a large brick built fireplace with log burning stove and is over looked by the large landing. For convenience there is a garage leading out onto a large driveway. The garden wraps around the property with a range of patio & mature strub boarders in situ.
38 Orchard Gate enjoys the benefit of a fantastic outdoor studio ideal for those keen artists! The property is heated by an oil boiler providing heating to the ground floor as well as radiators to the upstairs.

A lifestyle change is often the key to moving when considering your new home. Orchard Gate is really the epitome of this concept and has the majority of those changes that the modern buyer often seeks. Being located away from major conurbations for a slower pace of life is normally top of the list closely followed by a short walk to the local pub, butchers and shop. The village of Dolton has all this on offer and much much more. Countryside walks and fresh air is also very important which is where Dolton comes into its own. Halsden Woods nature reserve with walks following the river Torridge is on close hand to satisfy those needs as well.

Dolton is ideally positioned to enjoy the best that the area has to offer. RHS Rosemoor, a wonderful place to visit and explore is close at hand as well as The Plough arts centre and theatre in the pretty market town of Great Torrington. From here you can explore Torrington Commons, 365 acres of countryside allowing for miles of scenic walks with access to the locally renowned Tarka trail. A scenic footpath / cycle way mainly built on the bed of a disused railway where the gradients are gentle. It winds its way following the course of the river Torridge as far North as Ilfracombe or going inland South towards Meeth. Ticking boxes aside, it is in my experience that the feel of the home is what will make you buy it.

Only by visiting Orchard Gate you will know if it is "the one". I strongly urge you to take the time to experience it for yourself and would love the opportunity to meet with you there to help embed what you see on paper in the flesh.
