There is also an open-plan kitchen and dining area with space for a dining table, shaker-style kitchen units, a central island with a breakfast bar and a gas range cooker, while the utility room offers further space for storage and home appliances.

The area benefits from a good selection of state schooling including Stokenham Area Primary School (rated Outstanding by Ofsted), Dartmouth Academy and Kingsbridge Academy together with some noteworthy independent schools including Plymouth College, King’s and Totnes Progressive.
