Yelverton, Devon

A delightful detached house situated in the sought after 'Ellas' within walking distance of the village centre. Level, 0.3 acre gardens, countryside views and generous accommodation.

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Occupying a generous plot of just over 0.3 acres on one of Yelverton’s most desirable residential roads, this substantial 1930s detached home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful property with outstanding potential.

Set behind gates and approached via a private block-paved driveway, the property immediately conveys a sense of privacy and arrival, with ample parking for multiple vehicles and access to a detached garage. Superbly positioned in a peaceful and highly regarded location, the property enjoys attractive countryside and moorland views while remaining conveniently close to the heart of the village.

Yelverton’s excellent range of amenities are approximately 400 yards away on foot, offering the perfect balance between tranquillity and convenience.

An entrance porch leads into a welcoming reception hall, introducing the generous and flexible accommodation found throughout the home. While some modernisation would enhance the property and bring it to its full potential, the existing layout already provides impressive proportions typical of the era.
The ground floor accommodation is particularly spacious. The principal lounge is a wonderful dual-aspect room, beautifully illuminated by a striking bow window that adds both character and charm. A large formal dining room provides an ideal setting for entertaining, featuring a further elegant bow window and double doors that open out onto an elevated patio terrace overlooking the gardens. The kitchen offers a good range of units along with a central island, creating a natural space for casual dining and everyday family life.
In addition, there is a cloakroom, a very useful pantry/store, and a rear porch providing further practicality.

Upstairs, a bright and airy landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. One of the bedrooms is particularly generous, enhanced by a bow window and built-in storage, while two further double bedrooms offer comfortable and versatile accommodation. The spacious family bathroom is fitted with a wet-room style shower, bath, WC and basin. The principal bedroom is of especially lovely proportions, benefitting from fitted storage and its own en-suite shower room. From the upper floor, there are delightful views across the surrounding countryside and neighbouring fields, adding to the sense of space and rural outlook.

The gardens and grounds are a particularly attractive feature of the property, wrapping around the house and providing a wonderful sense of space and privacy. The side gardens extend from the driveway and lead around to the main garden, which is predominantly laid to lawn and enjoys a southerly aspect. Mature planting, shrubs and established borders create interest throughout the grounds, while a decked seating area offers an ideal spot for outdoor relaxation, complemented by a garden shed and summer house.

The garden also incorporates several charming sections, including what was once a dedicated gardener’s area with raised beds, along with an additional patio terrace. Altogether, the mature gardens provide a beautiful and varied outdoor environment.

This impressive home combines period character, generous proportions and a superb plot in a highly sought-after Yelverton location. With countryside views, mature grounds and considerable scope for updating, it offers an exceptional opportunity to create a truly outstanding family residence.

Yelverton offers a wide range of shops and facilities, including a Coop, doctor’s surgery, butcher, delicatessen, hairdresser, chemist, post office and garage.
