5 bedroom house

Substantial detached home offering much seclusion on a 2.2 acre plot in a beautiful setting.

A wonderful and most individual detached house on the site of a former kiln in an attractive, rural yet accessible location. Situated within the picturesque Teign Valley and its beautiful countryside, the property lies on the fringes of the village of Trusham (2 miles), itself home to the highly respected Cridford Inn/Vanilla Pod restaurant and St Michael's Church. The house is around a mile's drive from the A38 Devon Expressway, offering a dual-carriageway link south to Plymouth (36 miles) and Cornwall beyond, and north to Exeter (12.7 miles) and the M5.

The ancient town of Chudleigh with an excellent range of day-to-day amenities and shops is within 2 miles, whilst the hub market town of Newton Abbot (10 miles) with its fine blend of high street stores and long-established independent trader has a mainline rail link to the capital in just over 2.5 hours.  

Accommodation  

Stepping inside, the beautifully presented accommodation is arranged over 3 main levels and offers character and modern benefits which flows well and has plenty of light. Offering a degree of versatility, there are up to 5 bedrooms, one on the top floor with a vaulted ceiling and feature floor-to-ceiling glazing, taking in some far-reaching rural views, one with an en-suite shower room/WC and 2 with attractive, almost circular design. The living spaces connect well with a substantial main living room having a recessed fireplace with wood burning stove, a double-aspect dining/kitchen with extensive range of cabinets and work surfaces, drawers, tiled floor and plenty of space for a table and a double-glazed conservatory with French doors to the garden.

Outside
The total site extends to around 2.2 acres with the ground split almost in equal halves between beautifully maintained formal park-like gardens with wide expanses of lawn, extensive planting, wooded area, small orchard and various terraced and patios. A field/paddock lies at the top of the gardens and also has its own separate gated driveway access from the road rising up to an enclosed, gravelled yard, off which are a number of modern timber buildings, suitable as stables or storage sheds etc, the current owner having kept sheep in the past. Further outbuildings include a lovely summerhouse with bi-fold doors and spectacular views, a large timber shed and a portacabin with WC off which at one time was used as an office when the owner ran a business from home and now offering great potential (subject to planning) for other uses. In addition is the former kiln which is illuminated at night and provides an attractive feature next to the rear terrace.

Parking
Approached through tall gates onto its driveway which splits left leading up to the front entrance of the house and right, heading along the side of the property to a substantial detached double garage at the rear, adjacent to which is a forecourt providing parking for multiple vehicles.
