Description

Beacon View offers a wonderful opportunity to acquire an attractive three bedroom village centre house requiring full renovation and modernisation. Benefiting from Dartmoor views it offers scope for further extension or development (subject to any necessary planning consents) with a driveway leading to the rear where there is a small two storey stone barn requiring renovation with a fenced-in rear paddock and further land. The plot extends to approximately 1.5 acres.

Accommodation

The front door leads into the central entrance hall with timber flooring and stairs rising to the first floor landing. Doors lead to the two reception rooms, kitchen and out to the rear paddock. The Living Room has single glazed windows to the front overlooking the garden and offers timber floorboards and a central fireplace. The Dining Room also overlooks the front with storage either side of the open fireplace. The kitchen houses the Rayburn with some older units in need of modernising and single glazed windows to the rear. There is also a Larder.

To the first floor are three double bedrooms, two overlooking the front with some partial views and one to the rear with great views over its own land, all with timber floorboards, attractive fireplaces and single glazing. A bathroom comprising a white suite of bath with electric shower and wash basin faces the front with a separate WC located towards the rear.

Gardens and Grounds

From the council road a wooden gate and path lead up to the front door of the property with an area of garden to the front and side with the potential to develop subject to planning. A driveway runs down the left side of the house leading to the Rear Paddock (approx 29.90m x 24.40m) housing a two storey stone barn with potential and a small store adjacent to the house. Post and rail fencing separates the Rear Paddock from the rest of the land extending behind the house offering level pasture with tree and hedgerow boundaries. The property in total extends to approximately 1.5 acres and offers superb views from the rear field looking back towards Dartmoor.
