Could you picture yourself residing within a well-established family home, located in a picturesque Devonshire village, within the boundaries of Dartmoor National Park?

Beacon Lodge as it is formally known is an attractive property from initial impression, boasting an exposed stonework frontage and characterful window units. Upon entry, you are greeted by a grand entrance hall, with access options leading through into a choice of multiple receptions rooms. The real heart of the home is by far the extensive kitchen/breakfast room, this area has endless potential for future upgrades, with a versatile layout leading from the front to rear of the home.

The charming features continue, with offerings of ceiling beams, exposed stonework surround and leading warmth from the living room’s desirable inglenook fireplace. The living room benefits from ample natural light and generous floor space, perfect for accommodating family and friends all year round, strengthening the social essence of this community based home.

The ground floor also takes host to a practical utility room, shower room, office space and designated sun room. With French doors leading out onto the rear patio, the sun room captures warmth of the sunshine rolling over the near hillsides.

The first floor of the home offers a depth of possibilities with six bedrooms and a family bathroom access via a simple and spacious landing. The first two bedrooms are located on the left hand side upon reaching the top of the stairs, both featuring a water basin which could create an en-suite if desired. Of the two bedrooms mentioned, 'bedroom four' overlooks the rear cobbled courtyard while 'bedroom three' is at the front over the property with views of the village. The family bathroom offers a traditional suite with large bath tub and corner shower. The largest bedroom in the home coming in at just over 200sqft, equal in proportion and boasting large integral wardrobes and further water access for further potential. Being 16'7ft in length and 11'5ft in width, this allows for multiple layouts for families who like to change their furnishings time to time. Bedroom two, five and six are located at the end of the hallway, all can be considered as double bedrooms.

Throughout the home are many nods to the past lives that the building has had throughout the years, previously being the village hotel and public house. The exposed stone work predominantly throughout the ground floor is very impressive, and plays a beautiful touch to Dartmoor National Park that Beacon Lodge sits within. Arguably my favourite feature are the archway windows in bedroom 3 and the dining room that look up towards the centre of South Zeal.

Beacon Lodge has the huge energy efficient benefit of photovoltaic solar panels, they are perfectly positioned on the south facing, rear elevation of the property. Statistics provided highlight that the solar equipment produced energy of a return totalling £2,320.39 (exact numbers for the year ending on 01/11/22).

The outside of the property is another rarity of South Zeal, due to being able to offer dedicated off-street parking which eliminates the panic of trying to find a parking spot on street after a long hard day at work, we are able to offer parking for 3+ cars located behind our double gates. Secondly, a large workshop that measures in around 28ft long, with a generous ground floor as well as a large storage area that has been created too. The workshop can be the perfect place for an individual who loves to have their own safe haven, out of the home while they work, or for people who wish to store their vehicles out of sight.

Beacon Lodge has everything. It has its own rear enclosed garden, that is mainly level lawn, but does have huge potential for future development for a decked area to take in the view of Dartmoor. There is also a further storage barn too!

The property is situated within the heart of the thriving village of South Zeal, within Dartmoor National Park and a conservation area.

The house is within easy walking distance of the primary school, the village hall/pre-school, the village shop/tea room and post office, and two village pubs. The Oxenham Arms, is a former 12th Century monastery and has hotel accommodation, and the Kings Arms is the social centre of the village.

Just a few minutes from the door, you can be on the footpaths up towards Dartmoor’s Cosdon Beacon, wild swimming at Shilly Pool and many other fantastic walking trails.

South Zeal is close to Chagford, Throwleigh and Moretonhampstead, home to many independent shops, restaurants, and coffee shops. South Zeal is host to an annual folk festival and many other village events including open gardens and village fayres.
