GROUND FLOOR Downstairs the Living Room has beautiful period features including an oak beam and the original large stone open fireplace with oak lintel, as well as a window seat to the front elevation and a second window bringing in light in from the rear.
The Dining Room has a window to the front elevation and a large open fireplace. The oak beam links to a beautiful open oak staircase, featuring original stone walls and inbuilt shelving underneath, creating the perfect library space.
The country style Kitchen is located at the back of the house, overlooking the garden with hand built fitted units as well as freestanding units painted in Farrow & Ball blue, with deep timber work surfaces. A stable door leads to the garden and a large window by the breakfast bar overlooks the rear patio and garden. A range cooker sits in the original cottage doorway space.
Downstairs you will also find the 5th Bedroom, with its own ensuite toilet. This room is the perfect flexible accommodation as this can be easily separated off from the main house and is ideal as a possible home office, playroom or annex for guests. The garden outside can easily be divided to create its own space giving access and potential for BnB/Rental opportunities.
FIRST FLOOR The first floor has four light and airy double bedrooms with original floorboards. The master bedroom is unexpectedly large, with it's own sink and two windows with far reaching views across the village and surrounding countryside. Two further double bedrooms overlook the front and the fourth double bedroom overlooks the back garden and Dartmoor.
The Main Bathroom has a bath and over bath shower, pedestal wash hand basin and WC. A separate Shower Room sits alongside this room, with sink and vanity unit and WC.
The house also has two separate attics. The largest is fully boarded out for storage and both have lighting and power.
OUTSIDE Outside at the rear of the house is a large garden, unusual for village centre properties. It features a small pond, summer house and decking area with views over to Denbury Hill as well as outbuildings, greenhouse and raised beds, all backed by the original Devon bank where bluebells appear each year.
The garage can be accessed from the road or within the house and has plenty of fitted shelving. The driveway next to the house has space for two cars.
