The Approach

The property is approached via a long driveway bordered by lawned banks and mature hedges, leading to a turning bay and double garage block. From here, a wide paved front terrace provides the perfect vantage point to enjoy the superb panorama across the Ilsham Valley and towards the sea and coastline of Lyme Bay. Steps lead to the entrance porch, which opens into a spacious reception hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and a useful understair recess.

Living & Entertaining

The principal reception spaces are generous in proportion and well connected, ideal for family living and entertaining. The living room features a polished hearth with an inset living flame fire, complemented by a coved ceiling and bi-folding doors that open directly onto the rear garden terrace. Glazed double doors lead through to the dining room, which enjoys a dual aspect with a wide picture window framing a stunning outlook over the treetops, coastline and Dartmoor beyond. Together, these rooms create a bright and versatile living environment with a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

Kitchen

The kitchen is beautifully fitted with a range of shaker-style cabinets beneath quartz worktops and upstands, incorporating a variety of clever storage features including a carousel and pull-out units. Matching wall-mounted cupboards include a glazed display cabinet and a larder unit. Integrated appliances include a double oven and microwave, gas hob with extractor, dishwasher and fridge/freezer, with additional space and plumbing for a washer/dryer. A rear window and door provide a pleasant garden outlook and direct access to the outside space.

Ground Floor Accommodation

The ground floor offers two excellent double bedrooms. To the front, a bright bedroom enjoys a wide picture window with views across the treetops to the sea and coastline. A further double room to the rear overlooks the south-facing garden. A modern family bathroom serves this level and is fitted with an L-shaped bath and rainfall shower over, complemented by a vanity unit with an inset wash basin and concealed WC, tiled walls and flooring, and a heated towel rail. In addition, there is a separate cloakroom with a low-level WC and wall-mounted wash basin.

First Floor Accommodation

A half landing with a window to the front aspect provides another vantage point to appreciate the coastal outlook, leading up to a spacious first-floor landing. This area is well proportioned and could easily serve as a study or reading nook, with further storage provided by a built-in cupboard. The principal bedroom is a delightful suite, enjoying panoramic views across Lyme Bay to Dartmoor. The room also benefits from eaves storage and a spacious en-suite bathroom fitted with panelled bath, pedestal wash basin and WC. A second large double bedroom completes the first floor, with a built-in cupboard housing the boiler and a window framing views across the Warberries and out to sea.

Gardens & Outdoor Living

The property’s grounds complement both its panoramic position and the home’s family-friendly layout. To the front, the paved terrace offers ample space for outdoor dining and relaxation, with magnificent views over the valley and coastline. The rear garden enjoys a southerly aspect and a high degree of privacy, enclosed by established shrubs and trees. A broad paved terrace provides space for garden furniture and entertaining, with steps leading up to a level lawn surrounded by mature planting, creating a tranquil retreat.

Garage & driveway

The property benefits from a detached double garage block positioned opposite the turning bay, with two individual up-and-over doors, power and light. Both garages are of good size and provide excellent space for secure parking, storage or workshop use. The arrangement also allows for additional parking in the driveway and turning area in front, making it particularly practical for a family home or for those with multiple vehicles.
