Situation - This handsome property is situated on the edge of the village of Milton Abbot, benefitting from a good degree of privacy and an attractive southerly outlook at the rear across neighbouring countryside. Milton Abbot is a quiet and unspoilt, historic village located just outside the Tamar Valley National Landscape. The village has strong connections to the famed Bedford Estate, including through the nearby, notable Grade I Listed Endsleigh House, and a distinctive architectural style, with Edwin Lutyens and Edward Blore having designed many of the village centre's buildings, most of which are now Grade II Listed.
 
Tavistock, 6.5 miles away, is a thriving market town in West Devon offering a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, including the sought-after private and independent school, Mount Kelly. Plymouth is 21 miles to the south and Exeter lies 40 miles to the northeast, providing air, rail and motorway connections to London and the rest of the UK.

Description - Lamber Hey is a superb, individual, three/four double bedroom home with an incredibly rare combination of features and attributes. Originally built in 1907 and now fully refurbished to an exceptional standard, the house has a handsome, classically Edwardian appearance and impressive stature, and additionally is not listed. Set back from the road by an enormous, electric-gated resin drive, there is extensive parking space and an attached garage with a useful mezzanine over.

Our clients have undertaken a remarkable programme of renovation and extension to create a unique home of exquisite quality and comfort, and exceptional attention to detail. Leaving no expense spared, the standard of internal finish is second-to-none. Of particular note are the Egyptian limestone flooring and skirting, extensive Oak joinery – including the bespoke staircase – and high-quality Kanth bath and shower rooms.

The standout feature and focal point of the home is undoubtedly the south-facing oak and granite kitchen/family room. Arranged around two substantial islands, there are top-of-the-range appliances including a Wolf oven, Bora induction hob, V-Zug dishwasher, Sub Zero drawer fridge and freezer, and two Franke sinks, both with Quooker taps. Centor bi-fold doors lead out to the low-maintenance, landscaped gardens which include various seating areas from which to take in the picturesque surrounding views.

Furthermore, the house has been future-proofed with unusually strong and energy-efficient eco-measures, resulting in a B-rated EPC. These features include 16 photovoltaic solar panels, a top-of-the-line ground source heat pump, electric vehicle charging point, huge rainwater harvesting system, and Internorm doors and triple-glazed windows. The windows themselves are even complete with inter-pane blinds and Silestone sills – again highlighting the remarkably detailed specification chosen for every element of this property.

Overall, Lamber Hey is a stunning property of truly exceptional (and rare) quality. It is one-of-a-kind, and there are numerous further details to this house that can only be appreciated by a viewing, which we strongly encourage interested parties to undertake.
