Bere Alston

Drake House is an impressive four bedroom home, situated in the village of Bere Alston. This well presented property we believe dates back to around 1690 and still has many of its original character features including fireplaces, exposed lintels and beams. The house has been tastefully modernised whilst retaining these period elements, creating a warm and cosy cottage feel with modern touches.

You enter to a porch area then into the main hallway, which surprisingly has a pleasant view through to the garden. To the right is a good size sitting room with an exposed stone fireplace and log burner. To the other side is the second reception room which is currently used as a dining/family room as it opens in to the kitchen. This room offers plenty of charm with painted beams, inglenook fireplace and an original window frame as a feature. The kitchen/breakfast room is also a great size with a shaker style kitchen with integrated Smeg dishwasher, there are patio doors out on to the garden and an island with breakfast bar seating. A utility room with separate WC completes the accommodation on this level. On the first floor are the two main bedrooms, both spacious with one having built in wardrobes. There is also a huge amount of eaves storage running along the back of the house. Finally, on the top floor are two further bedrooms, with a former room being opened up to the hallway providing a bright office/working space, plus the family bathroom.

The gardens to the house are a brilliant size, approximately 170 feet long with various seating areas to sit and enjoy the scenery. Outside of the house is the main entertaining space with a large patio/BBQ area then steps up to the lawn. A slate paths runs to a stone outbuilding, with mature trees and plenty of greenery.

Bere Alston is a popular Devon village, ideal for anyone seeking more of a rural lifestyle whilst still being commutable to Plymouth via train or car. The village has a great community feel with a local shop, school, post office, butchers and pharmacy amongst others.
