The property includes a cottage with useful additional accommodation, which could be used as a holiday let or an annexe for family members. There are also several fantastic, useful outbuildings, including stables and barns.
The main house is well presented and has four reception rooms with wooden flooring throughout and various attractive features, including a fireplace and French doors opening onto the gardens. The main reception is the sitting room with its grand brick-built fireplace, which is fitted with a woodburning stove. The sitting room adjoins the family room in a semi open-plan layout, with the family room featuring French doors, which welcome plenty of natural light.
The ground floor also has a formal dining room, which is ideal for family meals or entertaining guests, and a 20ft games room providing further space in which to relax or entertain. The spacious kitchen is fitted with base units and a central island with a breakfast bar, affording plenty of storage. The breakfast area connects with the kitchen and creates an informal dining area, with space for a dining table.
On the first floor you can find five spacious double bedrooms, two of which are currently connected in one larger multi-use space but could be split to form self-contained bedrooms. The generous principal bedroom has its own dressing room and an en suite shower room, while one other bedroom has an en suite shower room, and another features an en suite cloakroom. Additionally, the first floor has the family bathroom.
The cottage has additional fully self-contained accommodation, comprising a sitting room, a dining room, a well-equipped kitchen and three bedrooms. There is a shower room on both the ground floor and the first floor.
The property is set in extensive grounds with incredible views across the surrounding Devon countryside. There are several outbuildings on the site, including a garage and the large stables block, which has open stables, contained stables, a tack room and a stable and barn area.
There is also a Dutch barn with a tack shop and a further store with extensive space for agricultural vehicles or machinery. Alongside this is a large warehouse which includes two offices, a kitchen and a bathroom, all of which are connected to electrics and heating.
There is parking at the front of the house, while concrete and gravel hardstandings provide access to the outbuildings and further parking space.
There are delightful gardens at the front of the house, with areas of lawn, border flowerbeds and established hedgerow. To the rear, the far-reaching grounds include fenced fields and paddocks, enclosed by post and rail fencing. The fields and paddocks are ideal for grazing livestock or training and exercising horses. There is also a 22 x 42 ménage which is in very good condition.
In total the land extends to approximately 4.57 acres.
A real positive of the property is that the current owners have obtained planning permission for two holiday pods in the field closest to the road, which enables huge potential to prospective buyers.
