3 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Located on the southern edge of the village is the Southernhay development, whilst it’s still connected to the village, with all the village amenities within a short walk, the views over the rooftops look out over the surrounding countryside to Dartmoor on the horizon. A popular village, there’s a great community here in Winkleigh which supports the range of village shops and services which include a village stores, post office, doctors surgery, pub, butchers and a village primary school. It’s no surprise that it’s a popular place to live.

The house is semi-detached and presented to a good standard. It’s a sizeable footprint, a solid build and has the usual mod-cons of uPVC double glazing and oil fired central heating (no gas in Winkleigh). The feel is more cottage like than one may expect and there’s a great feel internally. The living room has a stunning wood-burning stove and we love the way the living room, dining area and kitchen are linked making for a sociable house, no matter what you’re doing. The kitchen is a great size and sure to appeal to those who enjoy cooking and entertaining. On the first floor are the 3 bedrooms, all of a good size and there’s a family bathroom with separate WC.

Outside, to the front is an area of lawn and off-road parking (could be extended) for a couple of vehicles. The oil tank is also to the front and access to the side provides further storage options and leads to the south facing rear garden. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with planted beds (including a variety of fragranced shrubs & herbs) and a paved patio area is ideal for outdoor dining. A lovely addition is a garden office/studio built in the style of a shepherds hut! It’s a great bit of additional space and a feature of the garden. Complete with underfloor heating, electric and wifi, it’s ideal for hobbies or work from home. In addition to the main space is a lean to store, ideal for tools etc.
