Situation - Stoke Gabriel is a popular and sought-after village which lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the head of a creek on the River Dart about four miles south-east of Totnes. The older part of the village is in a conservation area near the River and Mill Pool and much of the area is a Coastal Preservation Area. The village has good facilities including a church, primary school, pre-school [2 to 5 yrs], village hall, post office, general stores and two public houses.

Buyers see Stoke Gabriel as a lifestyle choice both because of the amenities that it offers and its thriving strong family social life and community spirit, with boating, canoeing and river trips on the River Dart on your doorstep. The village boating association also provides RYA sailing training for children and a year round calendar of boating events.

Description - Blue Cedar built the Mill Pool apartments and houses in 2021 to very good quality and are restricted to the over 55 year olds. The sale of No. 8 offers the buyer a fantastic opportunity to purchase an incredibly well built first floor apartment with stunning views over the mill pool, across and over Stoke Gabriel church towards the River Dart.

Located at the far end of the development is the block of apartments, opposite which is the large garage block where No. 8 has a single garage with an up and over electric door plus a separate allocated parking space immediately on the left as you turn into the development.

Accommodation - Access into the spacious entrance hall with a flight of stairs and a lift provides access to the first floor. From the door, this light and airy apartment benefits immediately from a window overlooking one of the two private balconies with a view over the mill pool. The entirety of the apartment benefits from gas-fired underfloor heating with an engineered oak floor across most of the rooms. There is a useful storage cupboard on the landing housing the Worcester gas-fired boiler, with a cabinet with the underfloor heating manifolds.

A glazed and timber door leads through to the open plan kitchen/dining room/sitting room with part engineered oak floor with a range of base and eye-level kitchen units with integrated Caple refrigerator and freezer below. There is an integrated fan assisted Neff electric oven with integrated Neff microwave above, Neff 4-ring ceramic hob with a range of soft close pan drawers with an Elica extractor hood over, and a Neff integrated full size dishwasher.

The kitchen benefits from a quartz white almond worktop with 1½ bowl stainless steel sink with drainer with a large window facing southwest overlooking Stoke Gabriel church, the mill pool and out to the River Dart. The kitchen has a mid-range countertop denoting the divide between the sitting room and dining areas, which is carpeted with a pair of patio doors leading out to the first covered balcony with glass balustrading providing some protection.

The views over the mill pool provide plenty of activity from wildlife and those enjoying the water and across to the South Downs Woodland beyond. The second private balcony can be accessed from the dining room end of this room to a further covered balcony area, again with stunning views.
