The Approach
Approaching from Longmead Road, just before it meets Green Park Road, this property enjoys a neat and practical frontage with a block-paved driveway providing private off-road parking. A well-kept lawn borders the drive, enhancing the home’s curb appeal. On one side, a secure timber gate offers side access to the rear garden, while the driveway extends to the integral garage, fitted with a convenient roller door. A paved path leads to the main entrance to the property. The front door, made from uPVC and complemented by an obscured double-glazed side panel, opens onto an entrance porch. From here, an internal door leads into a spacious reception hallway, providing access to the staircase leading to the first floor and direct access to the living room.
Living & Entertaining
A spacious living room is positioned to the front of the property, enhanced by a near full-height double-glazed window that frames views of the front garden and offers partial glimpses of the sea beyond. A focal point of the room is the elegant fireplace, adorned with a richly carved dark wood surround, set against a neutral stone backdrop and hearth. Open access flows seamlessly into a generously sized dining room, creating an ideal setting for entertaining or family gatherings. From here, double-glazed French doors lead into a conservatory that enjoys direct access to the garden and serves as a versatile third reception space, ideally suited for use as a sitting area, home office, or garden room.
Functional Spaces & Everyday Convenience
The well-equipped kitchen is accessed from the dining room and overlooks the rear garden via a double-glazed window positioned above a one-and-a-half sink with drainer. With a comprehensive range of white wall and base units, integrated appliances include an eye-level double oven, a gas hob with an extractor hood above and space for a dishwasher. Furthermore, there is a built-in pantry cupboard in the kitchen, which provides additional storage space. The adjoining utility room offers additional storage and preparation space, with matching units, plumbing for laundry appliances, an inset sink, and a wall-mounted gas boiler. This area also provides access to the garden, a convenient ground floor cloakroom, and the integral garage. The garage is equipped with a front-facing roller door, offering convenient access from the driveway and allowing additional parking or useful storage space as required.
Well-Appointed Bedrooms and Bathroom
The first floor offers five well-proportioned bedrooms. Two of the rooms are generous doubles, complemented by two smaller double bedrooms and a single room, one of which was previously utilised as a study. Three of the front-facing bedrooms benefit from attractive views, including partial and distant sea glimpses, while the rear-facing rooms enjoy a scenic outlook across open countryside and Dartmoor's rolling hills. Serving this level is a modern and thoughtfully designed family bathroom. It features a vanity unit incorporating multiple drawers and cupboards beneath a countertop, with an integrated wash basin above. A corner oval-shaped bathtub with mixer tap and overhead shower adds luxury, while a close-coupled toilet and wall-mounted heated towel rail complete the suite. The bathroom is finished with full wall and floor tiling and includes an obscured double-glazed window to the rear aspect, providing both privacy and natural light.
A Garden to Enjoy
The property boasts a charming and low-maintenance rear garden that enjoys a wonderfully private aspect, bordered by open farmland and scenic countryside. Designed for ease of upkeep and year-round enjoyment, the garden features a spacious paved patio area ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing amidst the tranquil surroundings. A well-constructed pergola adds architectural interest and offers the potential for climbing plants or shaded seating. Raised brick planters are home to a variety of mature shrubs and seasonal flowers, providing vibrant bursts of colour and texture. The garden is enclosed by fencing and mature hedgerows, ensuring privacy and a pleasant green outlook. Direct access from the conservatory enhances the indoor-outdoor connection, while views across the rolling landscape towards Dartmoor create a peaceful and picturesque backdrop to this delightful outdoor space.
