First Floor Accommodation

Beautifully upgraded throughout, this home has been thoughtfully reconfigured to maximise natural light, space, and the outstanding views. Accessed via a set of steps from the garage, the entrance is set back and private, creating a peaceful approach. Adjacent to the front door, you'll find a separate home office with independent access, ideal for remote working or creative pursuits. A large log store sits to the right, with access to side and rear garden terraces.

The main entrance hall features a striking roof lantern and tiled flooring, leading into a stylish internal hallway finished with wood-effect flooring. To the front of the property lies a comfortable double bedroom with views over the approach, complete with fitted storage and a bright, airy feel. Opposite is a beautifully appointed bathroom, finished to an exceptional standard with a freestanding bath, walk-in rainfall shower, illuminated mirror cabinet, and contemporary tiling throughout.

Further along, the hallway opens into an elegant living room—a true centrepiece of the home. This expansive dual-aspect space is flooded with light thanks to full-height glazed sliding doors leading onto the main terrace, with frameless glass balustrading and breathtaking panoramic views stretching across the valley toward Milber, Bishopsteignton, and the Torbay coastline. A modern log burner with slate hearth adds warmth and character.

Opposite, the open-plan kitchen and dining area continues the theme of high-quality, modern living. This impressive room features sleek, handle-less cabinetry, quartz worktops, a large island unit with integrated sockets, and a full range of premium appliances—including two slide-and-hide ovens, induction hob, American-style fridge freezer, integrated dishwasher, and dual waste bins. Sliding patio doors once again open out to the deck, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living.

A separate utility room leads off the kitchen, providing additional storage and workspace. Equipped with tall built-in cupboards, appliance housing with integrated sockets, Belfast sink, integrated freezer, and laundry plumbing, this practical room also benefits from direct access to the upper deck and garden.

 
Ground Floor Accommodation

A set of contemporary carpeted stairs—complete with integrated lighting—leads down to the lower level, where you’ll find two generous double bedrooms, both with luxury en-suites.

The principal suite features full-height glazed French doors opening onto a private balcony with elevated views over Decoy Lake and the surrounding parkland. The stylish en-suite includes a large walk-in shower with rainfall head, contemporary tiling, illuminated mirror cabinet, and heated towel rail. A fully fitted walk-in wardrobe provides exceptional storage, along with two additional built-in cupboards—one housing a recently installed gas central heating boiler (2023).

Across the hall, the second double bedroom overlooks the landscaped rear garden and enjoys excellent natural light. This room also benefits from an elegant en-suite with walk-in shower, vanity basin, illuminated mirror, and a similar high-quality finish.

All bedrooms and living spaces have been networked with CAT6 cabling, ensuring seamless connectivity throughout the home.

This floor also features a dedicated cellar area, ideally suited for additional storage needs, offering a practical solution for organising seasonal items, household supplies, or personal belongings.

The separate garden office provides a versatile and peaceful workspace, while a storage room (accessed from the middle deck) is ideal for garden tools and equipment. A conveniently placed outside tap makes gardening and car washing easy.
