Cleave Hill, Dolton, Winkleigh, Devon, EX19

On the market for the first time since it was built, this home is positioned to take full advantage of the outlook across the rear and the orientation of the sun as it works its way around.

Turning in off the main road into the farm lane at the end the entrance to the property is found part way down behind a pull in lay by and double gates a poem into a parking area from where you get a real sense of what this property is all about. You cannot fail to notice the view!
The front door opens into an entrance hall from which a straight run of stairs leads to the first floor. An inner door opens into the dining room, where once again the view plays a major part, as a big picture window gives a wonderful outlook. On one side sits an oil fired Rayburn and there are further cupboards that run under the stairs. An archway opens into the kitchen which again enjoys the distant views. Within the kitchen is a double drainer sink with cupboards under, an adjacent work top and on the inner wall more work top and cupboards. The sitting room is a fine double aspect room with feature fireplace with inset log burner and doors open onto a glazed rea hall again overlooking the valley to the hillside beyond. Finishing off the ground floor accommodation is a rear hall, off which is found a utility room with larder/pantry, a cloakroom, boot store and a door leads outside.
The first floor landing with its airing cupboard gives access to all the bedrooms and bathroom. The two rear double bedrooms enjoy the view and each has space for bedroom furniture. The third bedroom although a single is a of a good size. To coin a phrase the bathroom is small but perfectly formed having a shower over a panelled bath, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.

Outside
Double gates lead off the lane to the driveway where a large double height garage/barn (29’ x19’) sits off on one side and having one of the doors as double height, it is ideal for a camper or similar to be parked inside. Within there is ample room for a work bench and power and light is laid on. A potting shed is also found on this side.A large 33’ Nissen hut with power and light connected sits on the other side of the house with timber sheds adjacent.

Gardens
These are found on all sides with shrub planting at the front and behind the stone wall along het lane edge. A lawn runs around the side and back of the house behind low hedging so as not to interrupt the views. A gravel area and stocked bed sits off to one side of the drive and from here you get a wonderful distant view behind the house running off down the valley. Beyond the formal garden and behind hedging there is an area of agricultural land with a 5 bar gate leading out on the junction with the lane and the road. This is currently used by a local farmer in conjunction with the rest of the field which is owned by the farm down the lane.
From Torrington take the A3124 road to Exeter passing through Beaford and onto Dolton Beacon. With Dolton Beacon garage on your left hand side, turn right to the village of Dolton (B3217) down Rectory Road, continuing into South Street passing the Butchers shop on the left and The Rams Head pub on the right. After about ½ mile passing the Church on your right, as you leave the village down Cleave Hill the turning left onto the farm lane is found just by the Dolton village sign.
