Old Mill Lane, Dartmouth, Devon, TQ6

A wonderful detached home set in just under half an acre about a mile from the centre of Dartmouth

Description

Built by the current owners, Creek End is a wonderful, detached home sitting in just under half an acre of grounds. Much care and thought has been put into the design and in particular the quality of the build and whilst it currently offers generous accommodation, there is also scope to improve what is already offered, subject to any necessary consents.

Arranged over three floors, the accommodation is spacious and bright throughout with the ground floor being given over to the living accommodation.

The entrance hall / study leads through to a wonderfully open plan kitchen / breakfast area and sitting room offering a sociable space perfect for modern family living and entertaining and is clearly the heart of the home. The well-equipped kitchen is arranged around a central island with inset Belfast sink and space for a dishwasher. The Aga is a real feature and offers both gas and electric elements.

Beyond the kitchen, both the dining area and sitting room have French doors which lead to the sun terrace which not only creates an extension to the living space but also provides the perfect spot for alfresco dining or a sundowner whilst enjoying far reaching views of the rolling South Hams' countryside. The sitting room also has a fabulous, bespoke granite fireplace with inset woodburning stove.

In addition to the open plan living space, there is a formal dining room, again with feature fireplace with inset woodburner and French doors to the terrace.

Also on the ground floor and adjacent to the kitchen is a convenient utility / laundry room with access to the rear terrace as well as a cloakroom.

A beautiful spiral staircase leads to the first floor landing with vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. The dual aspect principal bedroom continues this theme and also offers wonderful, far reaching countryside views as well as a generous en suite bathroom with bath and separate shower.

Beyond this, there are a further three double bedrooms, one of which benefits from French doors leading to a generous balcony from which the views are simply breathtaking.

The lower ground floor is accessed from the formal dining room and is currently used as a garden room / studio and storage area. Again, French doors lead to a lovely terrace and not only provide a huge amount of natural light but a beautiful vista across the countryside. Offering over 1,300 sq ft, this could be used for additional living or bedroom space, a home office, games room or gym or even self-contained living accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

Gardens and Grounds
Immediately outside the principal living accommodation are generous terraces bordered by bespoke, hand forged railings to maximise the views. Beyond the sun terraces, the garden is largely level and laid to lawn.

Beyond this there is a tarmac parking areas for a number of cars as well as a gravelled area, again which can accommodate a number of vehicles. The original planning permission also allowed for a double garage which has not yet been constructed.
