Devon

A former Tollhouse, now transformed into an iconic residence, along with a detached 2-bedroom annexe, is nestled within the picturesque Tamar Valley on the border of Devon and Cornwall. This property offers spacious and adaptable accommodation, having undergone sympathetic updates in the past year to seamlessly blend the charm of its heritage with modern conveniences.

The main dwelling's front facade boasts charming aesthetics with its stone and slate exterior, yet it offers much more than meets the eye. The ground floor features generously sized rooms including an inviting entrance porch, a formal dining room, and a large, bright kitchen equipped with modern fittings and solid wood worktops. Limestone flooring extends throughout, leading to additional dining space, a pantry, a shower room, and a side porch providing outdoor access.

The formal dining room could serve as a sitting room, given the kitchen's dining space. However, the current occupant has utilized an upstairs room as the living room, enjoying views across the valley and a feature fireplace. Upstairs, there are six bedrooms, an office, a conservatory with outdoor access, a family bathroom, and a utility room. The master bedroom is more akin to a suite, featuring its own ensuite bathroom and dressing room.

Across the road lies the private detached annexe, offering modern and self-contained accommodation. Situated within its own grounds with ample parking and gardens extending to 0.32 acres, the annexe provides a serene retreat.

The garden boasts a serene atmosphere, featuring a level lawn enveloped by a canopy of mature trees, alongside a raised decked seating area. This outdoor space provides access to a secluded and tranquil 2-acre woodland area, where a former farm track now meanders as a delightful walking trail through the trees, eventually connecting to neighboring farmland.

Equipped with a LPG gas-fired central heating system and solar PV panels, the property efficiently offsets energy costs. Additionally, it operates on its own private water and drainage system, enhancing its economic appeal as a home of considerable size.

In conclusion, this remarkable period property offers broad appeal and warrants a personal viewing to fully grasp its unique charm and extensive features. It presents a rare opportunity to experience a home of such character and versatility firsthand.
