Lydford, Devon

A handsome, detached, Arts & Crafts style property situated in Lydford in the Dartmoor National Park. Close to The Dartmoor Inn and Lydford Farm Shop, this five bedroom home has previously been used as a Guest House and for Cream Teas, and is now ready for new owners. Located on a plot just under three quarters of an acre, there are ample grounds with pleasant views from the house and gardens of the surrounding countryside. The house retains many of its original features including many fireplaces, parquet flooring, panelling, staircase and stained glass doors.

You enter to a spacious and welcoming entrance hall with an impressive turning staircase and French doors out on to the front. There are two good size reception rooms overlooking the front. A second reception at the rear is currently used as a downstairs bedroom due to its proximity to the bathroom WC, there is also a useful study room. To the other side is a country kitchen with a Belfast sink and original Victorian dresser, a doorway leads to the utility room which has two useful larder/store cupboards. Upstairs are four bedrooms, two of which are en suite, with a period style family bathroom. 

Externally, the gardens wraparound the house and are mainly laid to lawn with over 20 types of trees and mature shrubs. There is a raised patio directly outside the front of the house, which makes a nice view point to sit out on. There are two outdoor storage cupboards and a wood store, as well as a good size garage and plenty of parking.
