A fantastic four bedroom detached house with Garages (one a potential Annexe) and Stables which has been greatly improved by the current owners and which sits in a 2.4 acre plot within Dartmoor National Park. It offers privacy and easy access out onto the moor.
Description
Stoneyhurst is thought to date back to approx 1860 and is of mainly stone construction with later additions and improvements. Greatly improved by the current owners it benefits from some excellent views over its own gardens and beyond and has potential for a detached annexe to be used alongside the property itself. It offers flexible living with two ground floor bedrooms and two first floor bedrooms. Externally there are attractive gardens divided into a number of gated areas and a meadow which could be used for a variety of purposes, included equestrian given the small stables located on site.
Accommodation
The main access is through the attractive porch with exposed stonework which opens into a good sized hallway with a study area and stairs up to the first floor. There is a good flow to the layout with a modern shower room adjacent to the stairs and with the hallway providing access to the two double bedrooms towards the left hand side (both with attractive views) and on the right hand side into the modern kitchen with exposed stonework, attractive store units with a Rangemaster oven and hob, sink with side drainer, space and plumbing for dishwasher. An archway opens into the Dining Room overlooking the garden with double doors out to the delightful Garden Room with vaulted ceiling, exposed stonework, and excellent views of the garden and surrounds. The Living Room is accessed from the Dining Room and also overlooks the lawned garden with double doors out.
The stairs lead up to the first floor landing where there is some reduced head height in places. The Master Bedroom Suite offers a good sized room with fitted wardrobes and a large south east facing picture window overlooking the gardens and with far reaching rural views. There is a modern En-Suite comprising bath, corner shower, WC and wash basin with a cupboard housing the hot water tank. There is an additional double bedroom with views and a separate shower room.
Outside

Just below this is a further timber gate providing access into the Paddock and to the Workshop/Garage whilst the third access is a pedestrian gate and parking next to the Garage/Annexe. The total plot extends to approx 2.40 acres.The gardens are a particular feature with a number of attractive level areas with mature shrubs and plants for sitting out and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. There is also a walled vegetable garden with water feature and a Workshop/Garage with light and power and a double electric door.
A separate Garage has been improved by the owners and provides scope for an Annexe subject to planning, having a Kitchen, Shower Room, and large Office/Store on the ground floor with stairs leading up to a further Store (potential Bedroom).The Paddock extends to approximately 1.87 acres which is currently used as a wild meadow with some trees and paths but which could be cut back to provide grazing.
