Description

Nestled in an attractive rural setting between the villages of Lewdown and Bridestowe, this remarkable former Victorian lime kiln has been thoughtfully converted into a versatile and characterful detached residence. Spread over three storeys, the property offers a wealth of flexible living space and combines period charm with modern practicality, including LPG gas-fired central heating. The property sits within approximately 1.6 acres of gardens, paddocks, and outbuildings, offering both privacy and scope for outdoor pursuits.

The approach is via a long, sweeping private driveway leading to a generous gravelled parking and turning area, with mature shrub borders and outside lighting. The original arched kiln provides a distinctive feature and practical storage. From here, steps rise to a landscaped garden featuring a large pond with willow trees, a raised terrace, and a decked area adjoining the lounge—perfect for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Beyond the formal garden, a paddock extends to the rear, bordered by mature hedging, and a useful barn and adjoining store offer potential for further development, subject to the necessary consents.

Inside, the accommodation is both spacious and versatile. The entrance hall leads to a study, cloakroom, and the kitchen/breakfast room, which features a painted pine cupboard range, Belfast sink, and a brick fireplace recess with an electric Aga. A practical utility room houses the LPG boiler, sink, and storage, while the lounge/dining room features part-timbered walls, a raised slate hearth with wood-burning stove, and double-glazed French doors opening onto the terrace.

The first floor comprises four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a Velux rooflight and far-reaching views, while the bathrooms combine panelled and tiled finishes, with both baths and walk-in showers. A second-floor sitting room is a light-filled retreat with vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers, a wood-burning stove, and access to a terrace, offering a quiet space to relax and enjoy the outlook.

Set within a peaceful rural location yet with easy access to the A30 and Dartmoor National Park, the property benefits from proximity to local amenities, including shops, pubs, and primary schools, with the larger town of Okehampton nearby. Ideal for those seeking a home with distinctive character, flexible accommodation, and generous outdoor space, this former lime kiln presents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly exceptional property in West Devon.

Situated in the village of Lewdown, which is one of the earliest villages to be built by the Saxons in West Devon. The famous Jacobean Manor, Lewtrenchard Hotel is nearby.

The property is less than ten minutes drive from the town of Okehampton. With it's supermarkets, leisure centre, schools, banks, individual shops and a handful of public houses.
