Description
Enjoying high levels of privacy provided by mature gardens of almost three quarters of an acre, Little Close is a fine detached family home located within the picturesque quintessential south-east Dartmoor village of Ilsington.
Dating from the early twentieth century Edwardian period, the original house was extended and remodelled around thirty to forty years ago and now offers nicely balanced accommodation with generous sized rooms, filled with natural light.
Outside, a gravel driveway sets Little Close back from the lane and along with providing plenty of parking connects to a large garage at the rear of the house. Just beyond the garage stands a substantial block-built stable building with two stables, tack room and electric connected. This has potential for conversion to ancillary accommodation, subject to the required consents. Wrap-around gardens with sweeping lawns, a large patio terrace and a wild nature habitat area, contain a huge variety of established shrubs and trees including a fine Magnolia.
Ilsington village, with its clusters of picturesque cottages and 15th century church, has an active community and a great range of facilities on the doorstep including an excellent community shop/post office, village hall, traditional Devon pub - The Carpenters Arms, first rate primary school and a country house hotel and spa with heated indoor pool and fitness suite.
There are lovely walks within the minor country lanes which lead up to the open moor at Pinchaford and Haytor Down. The nearby towns of Bovey Tracey (4 miles) and Ashburton (5 miles) each have a good range of everyday shops and amenities whilst the A38 at Drumbridges is less than ten minutes drive away and links the two Devon cities of Plymouth and Exeter where the road joins the national motorway network.
