The ground floor comprises a private car port, useful storage area, entrance hall, utility room, and a bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a feature fireplace. On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys its own en-suite shower room, while a further spacious double bedroom and a beautifully appointed family bathroom complete the level.

The heart of the home is found on the second floor, where a contemporary fitted kitchen opens directly to the rear garden, and a superb open-plan living and dining room provides an elegant space for entertaining and relaxation.

Flooded with natural light from two large Velux windows, including an opening Cabrio balcony, this lovely room enjoys the loveliest views in the house, with a stunning outlook across the River Dart and surrounding countryside.

Outside, the mature terraced rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a series of highly usable outdoor spaces. Lawned areas, paved terraces, and generous decking provide an idyllic setting for al fresco dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the far-reaching river views. A useful summer house further enhances the appeal of this delightful garden retreat.

Adding further value and potential, planning permission has been granted for a rear extension together with associated external alterations, extended decking, and further improvements to the rear garden (Planning Ref: 1691/25/HHO).
