Description

All too often, people approach most things in life with a pre-conceived idea of what to expect. I try ever so hard not to in my line of work, as life has taught me to approach things with an open mind. The Bayleaf at Market Gardens really does cement this ethos. Yes, it’s one of the larger homes on offer here but don’t be fooled, it is far from just that. It is balanced inside and out with a handmade feel and more importantly, a bright interior – which add to its already charming curb appeal and period feeling, particularly with its enclosed walled garden. It really is the ideal family home when you consider that at 142 m2 (1,528 Sq Ft), it is larger than many four bedroom detached homes and the addition of the study/family room in this particular design really is the icing on the cake. The home flows well and I suspect the utility room door will be used just as much, or more than the front as I feel those who choose to buy this home will be doing so for the location. Adjoining 360 Acres of Commons, one will likely be exploring this ever changing landscape with the family and pets - whatever the weather. It is lovely to have the advantage of leaving any wet gear here to dry, as well as the pets! Not just this, but the garden is more generous (in my opinion) than you would normally find, so is likely to be used to full advantage.

Number 3 is one of just nine, three and four bedroom, brand new, yet character homes set in this stunning Mews. The finish externally is undeniably desirable. An Oak formed entrance is going well in to dream home territory, and when moving to Market Towns in Devon – Character properties are often in the dream move tick list. So, when an opportunity arises to have all the best of an older home in terms of their build quality, curb appeal and space internally, but in a brand new, warm, efficient and low maintenance package – it does feel a bit too good to be true. Made even more so, when one can step out of the front door and see the commons instantly and in less than a minute be walking past the Castle walls to be immersed in them. A minute the other way, and one is in the heart of town picking up fresh ingredients for a large breakfast after the long walk, or in the local for a swift one, or collecting tickets at the Box Office at The Plough Arts Centre to watch the latest movie, world class comedy or classic and modern theatre live. Put simply, it is the best of both worlds.

History surrounds Great Torrington from the great battle of 1646 which saw Lord Hopton (Royalist) and his forces defeated by Sir Thomas Fairfax, (marking the end of the resistance in the West Country), to the River Torridge below being home to Tarka the Otter and home to the second oldest Golf Course of its type in the country. Not to mention the RHS Gardens at Rosemoor (which can be seen from the communal gardens), the Tarka Trail – a 180 mile recreation highway that links us to the Coast where the nearest beaches are miles of soft sand, there is something of interest around every corner.

The home is built to exacting standards by local firm – Pearce Homes. Approaching their 80th year, each of the team owns a piece of the business (similarly to John Lewis) which means everyone that worked on the build has a vested interest as well as huge pride in delivering the finest finish. Built traditionally of block and render and with much of the materials used made and finished in their own joinery, the quality is evident. This is true also where the kitchen and bathroom fittings are sourced from the highest quality manufacturers like Bosch, Franke and Roca respectively. Essentially, they fit the items we would all choose – given the budget! Howdens makes the kitchens and are renowned locally for their quality and style. Furthermore, there is a restriction on parking commercial vehicles within the development for the obvious reason that they obscure the view. However, it is likely that a resident’s permit will be supplied in the first instance for the car park – which will enable 7-day parking just behind.

There is no driveway. Although, there are two allocated and numbered parking spaces just in front and there is plenty of room for all the residents to pass if you are just dropping off directly outside the home. This is also the case for charging EV’s. Each home has provision to install a charger at the front of the property to enable convenient home charging. An abundance of parking for friends and family can be found just in front of the Mews in the Towns car park and there is room enough in the garden for a generous outbuilding to store bikes, gardening tools and summer garden furniture.

The home is available to view immediately.
