Longhay Orchard is a beautifully presented detached bungalow, situated on a private no through road, in the heart of the village. The wrap around gardens provide a high level of privacy, and lovely far-reaching views of the village and the river.

On entering Longhay Orchard, the entrance porch, off which is a boot room and a cloakroom, leads through to the inner hallway, which runs the length of the property. There are three principal reception rooms, which includes a lovely sitting room, fitted with a glass fronted wood burner set in an ornate fire surround, and double doors to the garden and further double doors leading to the conservatory.

The conservatory is a bright and partially glazed room, offering a lovely aspect over the gardens and surrounds, with doors opening on to the terrace, and finally the dining room, again a generous size, with doors to the terrace and lovely views.

The kitchen/breakfast room is well-appointed and beautifully fitted by a local craftsperson with a range of dark blue units topped with quartz worktops, and integral appliances include an oven, a steam oven, a warming drawer, gas hob, dishwasher and American style fridge/freezer. Off the kitchen is a utility room.

In total there are five bedrooms, two of them are fitted with en suite shower rooms, and there is a family bathroom. The smallest bedroom is currently used as a study. In addition is the garden studio, a fabulous home office or artist's studio, which has its own paved terrace, raised deck and lawn.

Longhay Orchard is approached along a generous drive, which provides plenty of parking and access to the double garage. The pretty gardens are well established and mainly laid to lawn, bordered by flowerbeds, shrubs, hedgerows, and mature trees, with a large terrace, ideal for outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining.

Beyond the garden is an orchard consisting of about a dozen fruit trees. The gardens offer both a high level of privacy and lovely, far-reaching view towards the River Dart.

The garage, which measures 19' x 19' has mains power and lighting, a water supply and electric door. The garage is drive through, which allows further parking for a boat if required. Under the house there is a restricted height basement which is very useful for storage purposes.


The picturesque and sought after village of Stoke Gabriel, is situated on the River Dart, and lies within the South Hams Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This pretty and bustling village is home to a primary school, post office and general store, two public houses, cafes, and a 13th century church.

Totnes, the popular waterside market town, is about 4 miles away and offers secondary education, a supermarket, a leisure centre, a mainline train link to London, and a wonderful and eclectic mix of independent shops, boutiques, pubs, cafés and restaurants.

There is good access to the A38 Devon Expressway, which is about 10 miles away and links to Plymouth, Exeter and the M5.
