Situation

The house is on a quiet country lane, in a superb rural, but not isolated position and enjoys enviable countryside views across the Tamar Valley to Cornwall.

Set back from the lane, gated access leads to a large private driveway providing generous parking and turning space for multiple vehicles.

Accommodation

This handsome, period country house retains many original features and is believed in part, to date back to the 1700's... Remains of the stone walled farm outbuildings and butter well hint at the property's agricultural past.

The property, which is not listed, has been substantially but sympathetically altered and enlarged over the years; the West Devon & Plymouth Records Office holds the original drawings for the western extension which was built back in c1832.

Now arranged as a large, versatile family home, with two staircases and interlinked 'wings', the property offers an excellent opportunity for those looking for multigenerational living or to create a holiday let (subject to any necesarry consents of course).

The generous accommodation is warmed by oil fired central heating, a Rayburn in the kitchen provides hot water via a large capacity cylinder (also with an electric immersion) and the mains electricity supply is suplimented by solar panels.

The current owners use the boot room as their main entrance, this welcoming room has a beamed vaulted ceiling and flagstone floor and leads to the utility, guest cloakroom, and large farmhouse kitchen.

The kitchen is the main hub of this family home; with an oil fired 'Rayburn', original flag stone flooring and French doors to the garden, it is well equiped with an integrated dishwasher, electric oven and hob. Off the kitchen there are doors to the study/playroom overlooking the garden, the lounge/games room with wood burner and the entrance hall with original staircase to the first floor.

The entrance hall would have historically been the main entrance; bursting with character and charm this leads off to the library/snug with wood burner, and the living room with original marble open fireplace, both rooms are dual aspect with countryside viwes.

On the other side of the kitchen, the lounge/games room has a door to the garden and door to the gym along with the second staircase to the first floor. The way the two staircases are positioned mean this versatile family home is perfect as 'one', whilst being equally suited to provide a separate space for multiple generations, a hoilday let or permanent rental/annexe (subject to any necesary consents/permissions required).

Upstairs you will find a bright, spacious split level landing, large family bathroom with free standing bath and separate shower, additional powder room (with toilet and basin) and three double bedrooms, the master with double doors to a dressing room/nursery. A door separates the second landing which leads to two further double bedrooms and a shower room.

Outside the grounds are a true delight with the landscaped gardens perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the superb countryside views. The historic stone outbuildings provide a garage/workshop.
