The details

A family home with an annexe, extensive gardens and outstanding views.

This substantial property has been extended over the years to create what is now a spacious family home, with a self-contained ground-floor apartment, perfect for elderly relatives or for a family member with a need for independence. It is well presented throughout and warm and welcoming with gas central heating and double-glazing throughout both properties.

A door leads into a utility room which has wooden flooring with an inset hessian doormat, a worktop with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble drier, storage cupboards, and a wall-mounted combi-boiler which provides the central heating and hot water on demand. There is a convenient ground floor cloakroom with a hidden-cistern WC and a corner basin with storage beneath, and a chrome heated towel.

A door leads through into a good-sized kitchen/dining room which has solid wooden flooring, plenty of worktop space and natural light from dual-aspect windows and a narrow glass-brick window to the living room. There is space for a cooker, with a stainless-steel splashback and integral extractor above, a ceramic one and a half-bowl sink with a mixer tap beneath the window to the rear, space with plumbing beneath the worktop for a dishwasher, and a range of gloss-white fitted base, drawer and wall units providing ample cupboard space. There is also a breakfast bar and space for a table and seating, ideal for any occasion.

A inner hallway has a staircase rising to the first floor with a handy cupboard beneath, a study to the side with plush carpet underfoot, a fitted storage/bookshelf unit and plenty of natural light, ideal for those working from home. The spacious living room is filled with light from dual-aspect windows and wide sliding patio doors to the front, offering superb countryside views. There is a hallway with storage space for coats and shoes, leading to an alternative entrance to the front, beside the adjoining door to the annexe.

The carpeted staircase leads upstairs, where there is the master bedroom, a spacious double with a vaulted ceiling and four large Velux skylights. There are two fitted wardrobes providing plenty of clothes storage and a door leading to an eaves storage space. An en suite bathroom is modern with a slate-effect laminate floor and a white suite comprising a bath with a shower above, a pedestal basin, a WC and a chrome heated towel rail beside a large eaves store cupboard.

There are two further double bedrooms both with dormer windows offering fabulous far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside, one with an additional window in the gable end. The family bathroom has a slate-effect laminate floor and part-tiled walls, containing a modern suite with a bath, a shower and folding glass screen above, a pedestal basin, fitted units providing storage for toiletries, a WC and a heated towel rail, with a skylight providing natural light. The galleried landing has natural light from a skylight in its vaulted ceiling and there are two built-in cupboards providing storage.

The remainder of the ground-floor forms the annexe which is a self-contained two-bedroom apartment.

It has its own entrance at the side of the property which leads into a spacious kitchen with a glazed door, a window and two Velux skylights. It has plenty of worktop space with colourful tiled splashbacks and a range of white base, drawer and wall units, providing ample cupboard space. There is a stainless-steel sink with a mixer tap, space for a cooker and room beneath the worktop for a fridge, freezer and a slimline dishwasher. A breakfast bar is ideal for casual dining, and a wall-mounted combi-boiler provides the central heating and hot water on demand. A door to the side leads into a small utility with a worktop and space with plumbing beneath for a washing machine and a tumble drier. There is a family bathroom with laminate flooring containing a panel bath with a shower above, a pedestal basin, a WC and matching tiling above the bath and basin.

A spacious L-shaped living/dining room has plenty of light from a wide window with views over the garden and French doors to the front from where there are superb elevated views over the town rooftops to the rolling Devon countryside beyond. It is carpeted and has a tiled fireplace with a living-flame gas fire, which makes a nice feature and focal point for the room and there is plenty of space for a dining table and chairs.

An inner hallway has a bedroom on either side, the largest with a wide window to the front offering views over the countryside, and a large built-in cupboard with doors at either end. The second bedroom is an L-shaped, slightly smaller double with natural light from a large Velux skylight. There is a lockable adjoining door at the end of the hallway leading through into the main property.

Outside, a sloping driveway provides ample parking and leads up through the front garden, with right of way access to a neighbouring dwelling, past a turning space beside an area of lawn and a timber shed, to a wide area of gravel and the preferred entrance to the main property at the side.

There is a paved patio at the front of the property beside a lawn and well-stocked beds of flowers and shrubs, and a terrace of timber decking beside the annexe patio doors, making great outside spaces for alfresco dining, enjoying the peace and quiet and taking in the fabulous far-reaching countryside views.

There is a timber shed providing storage and a wrought-iron gate leads into an enclosed pet-friendly courtyard area beside the entrance with a large plastic garden shed. A path continues around the rear of the property, with an outside tap for watering, and timber-edged gravel steps lead up to the rear where the surprisingly large garden continues rising upwards with areas of grass interspersed with all kinds of bushes, shrubs and trees to an area of woodland at the top, with superb elevated views over the rolling Devon countryside all the way; a haven for wildlife and a nature lovers dream.

A viewing is essential in order to fully appreciate all that this wonderful property has to offer.
