The details

A fabulous semi-detached property with two double bedrooms, parking, a conservatory, and a large rear garden, conveniently located a short walk from the shops, parks and amenities in the popular moorland town of Bovey Tracey. This property is subject to the three year Devon rule, whereby purchasers must have lived and/or worked in Devon for the last three years.

Wrought-iron gates lead onto a resin driveway which provides parking for at least two cars, beside landscaped beds of gravel with a wide variety of bushes, shrubs and ornamental trees, that lead to the entrance porch.

The entrance hallway is carpeted, has a staircase rising to the first floor with a cupboard beneath, and there is a second store cupboard for coats and shoes opposite. The stunning kitchen has a durable oak-effect vinyl floor and is modern with plenty of light from a window to the rear, enjoying pleasant views over the garden. There is plenty of granite-effect worktop space with matching splashbacks and a range of elegant gloss-grey base, drawer and wall units providing ample cupboard space, complete within the cabinet and plinth feature lighting. There is a composite sink with a mixer tap beneath the window, a built-in double-oven with a ceramic hob, glass splashback and a stainless-steel extractor hood above, with space with plumbing beneath the worktop for a washing machine. The room flows through a wide opening into a dining room extension where there is floorspace for a large American style fridge/freezer, a door to the garden and plenty of room for a table and seating for six or more places, ideal for any occasion.

The living room is spacious, carpeted and has stylish papered walls with dado rails. It is filled with light from a window to the front and French doors to the conservatory. There is an elegant fitted fireplace with a living-flame gas fire, which makes a nice feature and focal point for the room, pretty much heating the entire house once lit.

The conservatory has a vinyl floor and French doors to the garden, making a great reception room for enjoying the sunshine and garden, or relaxing with a glossy magazine or book.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is a spacious double with a stylish papered feature wall, picture rails and has a window to the front. It has a built-in airing cupboard/wardrobe with an insulated hot water cylinder and slatted shelving for linen, along with a rail for hanging clothes. The second bedroom is a slightly smaller double with a stylish papered feature wall and a window to the rear.

The bathroom has a durable wood-effect laminate floor, tiled walls and contains a bath with a shower above, a pedestal basin and a WC. The landing has a hatch in the ceiling with a drop-down ladder for convenience providing access to the loft space which has a light, is fully insulated and is mostly boarded, providing extensive additional storage.

Outside the rear garden is surprisingly large and is well maintained and beautifully landscaped, a real credit to the current owners. There is an extensive terrace of paving with feature lighting and manicured areas of lawn, making a wonderful venue for entertaining, be it barbecue or alfresco dining. There are timber sheds with lights and power, mature beds well-stocked with all kinds of shrubs, plants, and flowers, along with a water feature. Further down the garden there is a secluded terrace of paving, making a wonderful alternative venue for sharing drinks with friends and family. Beyond this is a vegetable patch, separated by a fence with a gate, where there is a fruit cage, a few fruit trees, a large metal shed with lights and power, currently a man cave with a TV amongst other things, and a greenhouse. Being fully enclosed the garden is also safe for both children and pets, enjoying long hours of summer sunshine. An area at the side of the property is ideal for bin/recycle box storage and has a gate to the front providing alternative access. There is an outside tap and several splashproof power points in the front and rear garden. A viewing is essential to fully appreciate all that this wonderful property has to offer.
