Description
This well-proportioned family home, located in the heart of Copplestone has been maintained and greatly improved by the current owner, including in the past year installing new "A" rated double glazing throughout which with the solar panels and storage battery make the house, although large, economic to run.
Thought to originally date back to the 16th century, Eastlands has been extended over the years to create flexible living space suitable for a family or multi-generational living. The south facing property is approached through double gates onto a gravelled driveway, extensive parking area and integral garage.
The kitchen is well equipped with modern wall and base units and small dining area, a mains gas Aga, a separate electric cooker and induction hob and a walk-in larder.
An attractive feature is the large and excellently proportioned sitting room with impressive stone fireplace with woodburner, underfloor heating, an exposed well with glazed cover and almost the entire length of the wall given to windows and French doors which flood the room with light and give access to a West-facing patio and partially walled garden.
The older part of the house, offers two, well-proportioned reception rooms both with gas central heating and woodburning stoves. The formal dining room has retained a wealth of character and charm with inglenook fireplace, bread oven and beamed ceiling. The cosy sitting room/snug is south facing with a window overlooking the garden. Further accommodation on the ground floor is a shower room and a useful, large laundry room/boot room adjacent to the garage.
Two flights of stairs access the upstairs accommodation. The impressive open oak staircase rises from the main sitting room onto a partially galleried landing. This light, open space provides access to two decked balcony areas giving views over the village, gardens and beautiful countryside beyond with views of Dartmoor.
The large principal bedroom suite is a magnificent room with dual aspect windows and en suite with large shower and double vanity unit. Across the landing there is further room currently used as a large, walk-in wardrobe with skylight windows, but equally would make a good home office or sixth bedroom. There are four further bedrooms to the first floor and family bathroom with freestanding, claw-footed bath and separate shower.
Gardens and Grounds
The gardens with Eastlands have been greatly improved by the current owner, offering an array of separate areas and entertaining spaces making the most of the South and West facing gardens and patios. The beds are well stocked with numerous shrubs, hardy perennials and climbing roses and clematis. There is a garden room on the southern side and a small summerhouse in the west garden.
There are a number of additional outbuildings with this property including shed, outside WC and additional building known as “The Cottage”. This is partially attached to the house and is currently used as a garden and log store over two rooms, however, could have some potential for further uses and development subject to any necessary consents.
In addition to the rear of the property, there are two large workshops/secure storage facilities of solid construction and totalling over 3,500 Square feet. Used by a previous owner for business and furniture storage, it offers much potential for any prospective purchaser. The workshops are surrounded by lawns which have been planted by the current owner with numerous specimen trees including weeping copper beech, tulip tree, ginkgo, liqidambar, red oak, birch, eucryphia, and hornbeam.
