DESCRIPTION
Toad Hall offers a unique chance to purchase a three-bedroom semi-detached family home, nestled in a stunning valley and boasting desirable equestrian facilities, set within approximately 3 acres. The property offers potential to extend subject to planning permission. 

ACCOMMODATION
Accessed from the lane, a pillared entrance leads to a shared driveway, culminating in a five-bar gate that opens to a private driveway, parking and turning area at the front of the house, complemented by a charming garden on one side. Stone steps lead up to the cottage, where a stable door opens to an entrance porch leading through to the hall. The cosy living room overlooks the garden, with a wood-burning stove set against a brick surround with a timber mantle and slate hearth, creating a charming focal point to the room. To the rear of the house lies a spacious kitchen/dining room, fitted with a  range of base and wall units with integrated appliances to include electric oven and hob and a dishwasher.  The dining area benefits from an oil-fired Rayburn for cooking and hot water. A door connects to a separate utility room and cloakroom with WC. An extension from the dining area adds extra seating space, a large cupboard for coats and boots and a door to the back garden. The first floor offers three bedrooms, two with splendid countryside views and a newly fitted family bathroom.

OUTSIDE
To the front of the cottage, beyond the parking area lies a delightful lawned garden with a pond and a paved seating area, ideal for alfresco dining and to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside. From the parking area, a gate opens to an area of hardstanding suitable for additional vehicle parking, including trailers or a 3.5-ton horsebox. Adjacent is a timber stable block with three loose boxes and a tack/feed room, all with power and lighting. The property is securely fenced, combining post and rail, mature hedges and traditional Devon bank boundaries reinforced with post and wire stock fencing. Additionally, there is potential to install a 20m x 40m ménage, subject to any necessary planning consents being obtained.

SITUATION
The property is situated in an elevated position overlooking the beautiful River Avon Valley in the heart of the South Hams.  The small hamlet of California Cross is nearby and is well served by a BP service station with a well stocked general store and the popular California Inn. Just up the road you will find The Ringfeeder café, a family run business with a varied daily menu.  Furthermore, for those with horses, the very popular Winzers Equine Store is situated at California Cross supplying feed, hay, bedding and equestrian equipment. 

The nearest town of Kingsbridge is located approximately 6 miles south, with the popular smaller town of Modbury being situated approximately 4 miles south-west. The A38 dual carriageway expressway, connecting to the M5 motorway and national road network, is approximately 5 miles to the north, with the nearest mainline railway connections at Totnes or Ivybridge. The South Hams coastline at Bigbury, Bantham and Thurlestone is only a short distance away, as well as the popular seaside town of Salcombe. 

The local primary school for the area is Loddiswell with secondary and sixth form education at Kingsbridge Community College.  It is also in the catchment area for KEVICC at Totnes  and Torquay Grammar School.   Private education at Plymouth, Newton Abbot or Exeter.

The nearby River Avon offers a tranquil setting for walks and boasts excellent riding along numerous bridle paths through the woods.

The South Pool Pony Club organises regular rallies, hunter trials and one-day events at Cuttery Farm, which is only a few miles away.
