Description

A spacious four-bedroom detached home with large private gardens, multiple parking areas, and a detached double garage, located in the popular village of Diptford. EPC Band: D

Situation - Salamus enjoys a peaceful yet central location in the heart of Diptford, a desirable South Hams village surrounded by rolling countryside and within the South Devon National Landscape. The village offers a welcoming community and a well-regarded primary school, with a network of country lanes and walks on the doorstep.

Totnes, just six miles away, is a historic and thriving market town known for its vibrant atmosphere, independent shops, and excellent transport connections, including a mainline station with services to London Paddington, Exeter, and Plymouth. The nearby village of South Brent also offers a good range of amenities and access to Dartmoor, while the A38 Expressway is easily accessible, making commuting convenient.

Description - Set in mature, landscaped gardens and offering generous accommodation across a single level, Salamus is a spacious and well-maintained detached home ideally suited for family living or those seeking a quieter lifestyle in a village setting.

This south-facing property benefits from excellent natural light throughout, with well-proportioned rooms and a flexible layout. The accommodation is arranged around a wide and welcoming entrance hall, creating a natural flow between living and bedroom areas.

Accommodation - The entrance hall is a striking feature in itself—broad, bright, and full of character, with warm wooden floors and ample space for seating and storage. To the front of the house sits a lovely dual-aspect sunroom, ideal as a home office or garden room, with sliding doors opening directly onto the garden.

The sitting room is equally bright, with a large picture window overlooking the front lawn and a fireplace with a wood-burning stove, offering comfort and charm year-round. This space leads to the impressive dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with base units, wooden worktops, and a mix of integrated appliances including a Cooke & Lewis dishwasher, Ariston cooker, inset hob, and a traditional oil-fired AGA. A Belfast sink sits beneath the rear-facing window, looking out over the gardens. A large glazed internal wall connects the kitchen to the dining area, providing a sociable and airy feel.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room with further storage, plumbing for laundry appliances, a sink, and external access to the garden.

Four generously sized bedrooms are arranged off the main hallway—two overlooking the rear garden and two to the front—all enjoying good natural light. A family bathroom and a separate shower room serve the bedrooms, along with a spacious airing cupboard.

Outside - To the front is a tarmac driveway with parking for several vehicles, complemented by an additional parking area at the rear, accessed via Church Park Close. This leads to a large detached double garage with power, lighting, a side entrance door, and a manually operated up-and-over door. The garage also includes a fitted workbench, offering superb storage or workshop potential.

The gardens are beautifully arranged, with a mix of lawn, flower borders, mature trees, and seating areas. A side garden, accessed via a gate from the front lawn, is a peaceful oasis with a gazebo, raised beds, and a seating area ideal for entertaining. The rear garden features a large lawn bordered by trees and a striking monkey puzzle tree, along with a composting space and tucked-away storage area.

Services - Mains electricity, water and drainage. Oil-fired central heating. According to Ofcom, Superfast broadband and likely mobile coverage available.

Directions - From Totnes, follow the A385 towards Avonwick. After approximately 4 miles, turn left shortly after Bluepost Garage. Continue along this lane until you reach a right turn signed for Diptford. Enter the village and bear right. Salamus will be found on the right-hand side beside a post box.
