Description:

Tucked away along a private, tree lined road on the outskirts of Chudleigh, 6 Stokelake forms part of a distinguished Victorian building that was once a manor house and later a school. Today it offers the character and proportions of a grand period property alongside the flexibility needed for modern family life.

The scale of the rooms makes an immediate impression. High ceilings, tall sash windows and generous floor space extending to around 2,590 sq ft bring light and an open feel throughout the house. Period details, including fireplaces, the staircase and distinctive bell tower, give the property an identity of its own.

The entrance hall is a welcoming & versatile reception room in its own right, with space to sit before moving through the house. The substantial sitting and dining room can accommodate both comfortable everyday living and larger gatherings, with sash windows and a period fireplace adding warmth and character. The spacious kitchen and breakfast room provides another natural place to come together, with direct access to the rear terrace. A utility room and ground floor cloakroom add practical convenience.

Across the two upper floors are four generous double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The rooms offer flexibility for family, guests and working from home. From the first floor landing, an unusual bridge crosses the garden to the upper terrace, creating a memorable connection between the house and its outside spaces.

There are private gardens to both the front and rear. At the front, the traditional veranda provides a sheltered place to enjoy the morning sun, overlooking established planting and a secluded patio. At the rear, west facing terraces catch the later light and offer space for outdoor dining and relaxation. The tiered garden brings together mature shrubs, seasonal flowers and an upper seating area with views.

Stokelake has a friendly, neighbourly atmosphere that the current owners have particularly valued. The private road and landscaped setting give the homes a sense of retreat, while residents also have use of approximately four acres of communal grounds, including woodland walks and a tennis court. It is a setting that offers both privacy at home and a welcoming community close by.
 
Parking is another considerable strength. There is space for up to six vehicles across the front and rear parking areas, together with two separate single garages. The garages provide useful storage as they stand. Buyers interested in a studio, home office or other conversion could explore what may be possible, subject to any necessary permissions and estate covenants.

The size and arrangement of the house may also appeal to buyers seeking space for extended family or considering an annexe conversion or rental opportunity (subject to all necessary consents). The existing accommodation is already adaptable for guests, hobbies and home working.

Despite its peaceful position, the property has excellent access to the A38, making journeys towards Exeter, Newton Abbot, Plymouth and the wider road network straightforward. Chudleigh and Bovey Tracey provide shops, schools and everyday services, while Dartmoor and the South Devon coast offer a wealth of places to explore.

6 Stokelake combines very large rooms, authentic Victorian features, varied outdoor spaces and exceptional parking in a distinctive setting. It is a home with room to live comfortably now and possibilities for a buyer to explore for the future.
