Description

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION A large detached country house built, we believe, in the 1950s although extended and altered thereafter, this property has been substantially improved by the current owners and is superbly presented throughout. The accommodation is arranged around a large reception hall with spacious rooms which provide a high degree of flexibility of use and is ideal for family entertaining with well proportioned reception rooms and a large sunny loggia. In addition, part of the ground floor accommodation could easily be altered to provide a separate annexe. If further living accommodation is required, a large detached garage has planning permission for conversion. Heating is provided by an oil fired boiler in the utility room, whilst an oil fired Aga warms the kitchen. The original staircase leads to a galleried landing which in turn leads to five bedrooms including a master suite with large en-suite bathroom. In addition, above the sun loggia, there is a sixth bedroom with en-suite wet room facilities.

The beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds extend to just over one acre and are approached via a sweeping gravelled driveway which provides parking and turning for several vehicles. A substantial, detached garage includes a large/store room to the rear.

The gardens have been landscaped to provide level lawned areas with extensive, well stocked beds and borders, flowering trees and shrubs. Beyond the garden there is a gently sloping meadow and from the house and gardens there are expansive views across the Devon countryside and into Cornwall. An attached paddock/meadow, which extends to approximately two acres, is available by separate negotiation.
