The Chapelry, Chudleigh Knighton

This lovely home benefits from double-glazing throughout and with gas central heating, it is a cosy property, full of character features such as uneven walls, exposed stone and brickwork, exposed beams and a wood-burning stove.

Inside, a solid-oak barn-style door leads into the hallway with a tiled floor, a bare brick wall and two useful cupboards, one housing the combi-boiler for the central heating and hot water. The living room has beautiful, engineered-oak flooring and a lovely rough-rendered stone window seat. There is a large stone fireplace with a tiled hearth, fitted with a wood-burning stove; a lovely feature, perfect for the dark winter evenings.

The fabulous kitchen has plenty of natural light, a tiled floor, and a recent, elegant bespoke kitchen, fitted both beneath the window and in a recess between two part-rendered stone pillars. It has solid-oak worktops, tiled splashbacks and dark-blue fitted base and drawer units providing cupboard space with a Belfast sink and mixer tap beneath the window, a fan-oven with a gas hob and extractor hood above, plenty of floor space for an upright fridge/freezer, and in the separate utility room at the bottom of the garden, there is more worktop, storage, and space with plumbing for a washing machine and other appliances. The dining room is open-plan to the kitchen and has ample space for a dining table and seating for four or six places; perfect for a dinner party or family celebrations.

An open dark-stained, pine staircase leads to the upstairs where there are two spacious double bedrooms, one with a large built-in wardrobe and both with plenty of natural light from their south-facing windows. The bathroom is modern with a tiled floor and part-tiled walls, and it contains a white suite comprising a bath with a shower and glass screen above, a vanity unit with a basin, a hidden-cistern WC and storage for toiletries.

Outside, the front garden is low-maintenance and fully enclosed making it safe for both children and pets. There is a split-level terrace of paving which makes a fabulous outside space for a barbecue, alfresco dining, or drinks with family and friends, and being south-facing it enjoys many hours of summer sunshine. There are stone-edged beds ideal for shrubs or fruit, a water butt harvesting rainwater, and an outside tap for watering. At the end of the garden there is the utility room, and a large stone-built workshop/store, also with power and lights, providing plenty of storage for logs, garden furniture and bikes.

The entrance to the adjacent lane is via a wrought-iron gate and a timber door, where parking is on-road and generally plentiful.
