A well appointed 2/3 bedroom terraced house with superb views of the Mill Pool in the sought after village of Stoke Gabriel. EPC Band: E.

Situation - Stoke Gabriel is a popular and sought after village which lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the head of a creek on the River Dart about four miles south-east of Totnes. The older part of the village is in a conservation area near the River and Mill Pool and much of the area is a Coastal Preservation Area. The village has good facilities including a church, primary school, pre-school [2 to 5 yrs], village hall, post office, general stores and two public houses.

Buyers see Stoke Gabriel as a lifestyle choice both because of the amenities that it offers and its thriving strong family social life and community spirit, with boating, canoeing and river trips on the River Dart on your doorstep. The village boating association also provides RYA sailing training for children and a year round calendar of boating events.

Description - This well-maintained mid-terraced property offers flexible accommodation over two floors, with the added benefit of a useful workshop/office on the second floor. The south-facing courtyard garden enjoys picturesque views over the graveyard behind, the mill pond, and towards the River Dart.
2 The Barnhay is located within the local conservation area. The versatile accommodation could be utilised to create a third bedroom instead of an additional reception room at the front of the house.

Accommodation - The property is accessed via an entrance porch leading into a hallway, with a door opening into a reception room. This charming space features a sash window overlooking the front, a fireplace with a timber mantelpiece, and an inset wood-burning stove. Retaining its original character, the room also includes built-in cupboards on either side of the fireplace.

From the hallway, a few steps lead down to a flagstone floored stairwell, which includes a useful under-stairs cupboard and a staircase rising to the first floor. The sitting room, currently carpeted, yet retains the original flagstone floor underneath. A exposed stone wall houses a large stone fireplace with another wood-burning stove. The sitting room flows into a compact kitchen, which features a tiled floor, fitted kitchen units, space for a refrigerator, a 1.5-bowl sink, and a double oven with gas burners above.

The staircase leads to the first-floor landing, which provides access to the family bathroom. This space includes a white three-piece suite with a shower attachment. Adjacent to the bathroom is Bedroom Two, a spacious double room with original built-in cupboards and a sash window overlooking the front. The landing also houses an airing cupboard below a factory-light hot water cylinder.

Bedroom One, located at the rear of the property, is a generously sized double room featuring a UPVC-replacement sash window that offers superb views over the courtyard below and towards the Mill Pool. A large cupboard with hanging rails provides ample storage. A door from this bedroom leads to a timber staircase, granting access to the converted loft area. This versatile space, featuring a Velux window with far-reaching views over the mill pond, is currently used as a workshop but could serve as a home office. There are two access points providing additional storage within the eaves.
