Yelverton, Devon

A detached family house standing in grounds of approximately half an acre offering westerly views towards the Tamar Valley conveniently situated a short distance from open moorland, Yelverton and Plymouth City.

Nestled in one of the area’s most desirable and picturesque locations, this impressive and generously proportioned home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property of both substance and setting.

Tucked away in a charming lane lined with exquisite homes and situated just on the edge of open moorland, it offers instant access to scenic walks, making it ideal for dog owners and lovers of the outdoors.

Part of a small, exclusive development of just a few homes built in the early 1960s, the property enjoys both privacy and a sense of community. A gravel driveway welcomes you to the house, providing ample parking for multiple vehicles and leading to twin garages with up-and-over doors.

Step through the entrance porch into a wide, welcoming hallway, where the sense of space is immediately apparent. The heart of the home is the expansive open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area - a perfect space for both entertaining and everyday family life. The kitchen features a central island, generous work surfaces, and plenty of room for dining and relaxing. Patio doors open out to the garden, bringing the outside in and making the most of the beautiful views across the gardens and countryside beyond.

The separate sitting room is equally spacious, with large windows and further patio doors framing the same stunning outlook. Downstairs also offers a dedicated study - ideal for home working - a utility room, and a cloakroom/WC. Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress with five well-proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and built-in storage, while the family bathroom features a stylish freestanding bath.

The gardens are a true highlight: generous in size, mostly laid to lawn, and dotted with mature plants and shrubs that add interest and colour throughout the year. Bordered by hedges and mature trees, the plot totals approximately half an acre and offers both seclusion and panoramic countryside views. The garden is complete with a large sun terrace, perfect for al-fresco dining and enjoying the sunshine.
