Thorn Moor, St Giles on the Heath, Devon, PL15 9SN

Built on the site of a former Victorian primary school, this spacious detached four-bedroom home is set in beautiful landscaped gardens and has outstanding long range countryside views.  This immaculate property has been finished to an exceptionally high standard and will make a wonderful home for its new owners.
At the front of the property, the arched timber front door welcomes you into a spacious front porch with tiled floors and a gorgeous wooden bench seat, which in turn opens into a light and airy reception hall.  The modern kitchen overlooks the rear gardens and has built-in appliances and plenty of storage and worktop space.  The separate dining room has room for a crowd at family gatherings and the adjacent study with its plentiful built-in bookshelves and views to the front is a great space for working from home.  The room could also serve as a ground floor fifth bedroom if desired.   
The light and bright sitting room overlooks the rear gardens and has lots of character via the feature stone fireplace with inset multi-fuel stove and adjacent former bread oven.  Leading off this room is a more recent garden room extension with abundant glazing to take full advantage of the lovely outlook.  A practical modern shower room is located between the kitchen and sitting room. On the first floor are four bedrooms, three spacious doubles and a generous single.  The dual aspect principal bedroom has gorgeous countryside views and an en suite with freestanding clawfoot bathtub.  A large family bathroom completes the upstairs.

A gated entrance leads to a gravelled driveway with parking for 4-5 cars.  The Old School House is set in south-facing wrap-around and thoughtfully landscaped gardens. The side and rear have areas of lawn, shrubs and mature trees including a fantastic monkey puzzle.  A good-sized garden store abuts the old stone boundary wall and a pretty Mediterranean-style seating area surrounded by low walls makes a great spot for al fresco dining or an evening cocktail.

The property is just a few minutes’ drive from the popular villages of St Giles on the Heath which has a post office and store, primary school and pub, and Lifton which offers a well renowned farm shop, doctors’ surgery, post office and general store as well as a primary school. The nearby towns of Launceston, Holsworthy, Okehampton and Tavistock are all accessible by car and the A30 corridor is a short drive away allowing for easy connections further afield. The beaches of the north and south coasts and the wilds of Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor are not far away – perfect for outdoor enthusiasts.
