The living room features the first of the two log burning stoves providing a cosy atmosphere through the Devon winters. Across to the other side of the home you will find the long kitchen/diner and potential family room stretching an even further thirty two feet in length.

With the second log burner found towards the front of the room, you can just imagine during the holiday period, having the whole family sat around the long dining table with the log burner roaring. A utility room is always a welcome bonus and that continues here. Plenty of space for additional storage, your washing machine and tumble dryer. A stable door here gives a second access out to the garden.

The bright open first floor landing continues the charm of this home. Two double bedrooms sit to the front of the home, both featuring Victorian style fireplaces. The third double bedroom also featuring a Victorian style fireplace sits to the rear of the home overlooking the rear garden and takes advantage of a floor to ceiling built in storage cupboard. The former fourth bedroom has been converted into a dressing room featuring floor to ceiling wardrobes. Within the owner’s tenure, a staircase leading up to the generously converted loft space has been added. Should you require, taking out the storage cupboards could provide that forth bedroom again.
