Description

Lynton is a very well cared for 4 bedroom detached house located in the very heart of the village of Bishopsteignton. Due to its elevated position in the village, fantastic views are captured over the east of the village to The Ness in Shaldon, across the Estuary and rolling countryside beyond and west over to Dartmoor. In recent years the property has been tastefully extended and renovated from top to bottom. From a full rewire to a full replumb. From the installation of high-level insulation and solid brass door fittings to numerous plug sockets in every room and beautiful marble ceramic tiles throughout the majority of the ground floor rooms. The current owner has thought of everything. All the rooms in the property have a Southerly aspect, apart from bedroom four which overlooks the attractive, well attended front garden. As a result, the house is streaming with light throughout the day. Due to the amount of space on the lower ground floor, the property would lend itself nicely to running a business from home.

The kitchen is fully fitted with plenty of well-appointed cupboards, a 5-ring gas stove and double oven Rangemaster, American-style Fridge Freezer and integrated dishwasher (never been used), all to be included in the sale. The dining room is an extension of the kitchen and is plenty big enough to hold a decent sized family dining table and chairs. This area leads in nicely to the spacious snug. There is a spacious utility room with a sink, storage units and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Even this room has a lovely view out of its window. The family room has full sliding doors that open out onto the wonderful Mediterranean style terrace which is perfect for privacy and to soak up the views. Adjoining by full width concertina doors is the sitting room which has an eye-catching marble fireplace with gas effect open fire and full wall built-in bookcases. Bedroom four is on this level and is currently used as an office with a neighbouring cloak room.

The first flooring landing is sizable with plenty of space for fitted draw units along with storage access into the eaves. The main bedroom suite is sizeable and welcoming with its full glazed sliding doors out onto its private glass balustrade balcony. Another place to embrace the fantastic views. Even the adjoining en suite shower room enjoys a view across the estuary. Bedroom two has a selection of built in wardrobes, a handy basin and offers views over the Estuary. Bedroom three boasts’ views over towards Dartmoor and is currently used as a dressing room. A family sized bath/shower room, separate WC and airing cupboard completes the first floor of the property.

The front garden is beautifully arranged with a small lawn area, fully stocked raised stone beds and an attractive eucalyptus tree. A side gate leads down one side of the property for maintenance access. The garden room is a great addition to the garden and is accessed from the rear of the property and is fully tiled and has power. The garage is a single but long in length to allow for storage at the back. There is a dedicated boiler room which houses the gas boiler (less than 18 months old), electrical consumer unit. From here you can access further under the house which is perfectly cool to use as a wine cellar. There is a separate access door into the gym/workshop and a further store room, both fully tiled and have power. There is parking for several vehicles at the front of the property and one in front of the garage. There is also the possibility of parking parallel alongside of the house too.
