5 bedroom house

This substantial detached former farmhouse has been lovingly restored by the current owners and now affords spacious and comfortable family sized accommodation arranged over two floors, the principal rooms enjoying super views over the garden and the surrounding rolling Devon countryside, towards Cornwall and Bodmin moor in the distance.The hub of this home is undoubtedly the recently reconfigured kitchen/family room, which has been sympathetically refitted with a top of the range kitchen by Charles Gray (Tavistock) and now provides a warm and welcoming space for everyday use by the family or for entertaining guests. The kitchen is complemented by a useful pantry and boot room. Further reception rooms include a comfortable sitting room and formal dining room. The bedrooms are on the first floor, and equally well appointed, tastefully decorated with views over the garden and surrounding countryside. The master and second bedrooms have ensuite facilities as does the guest bedroom which is accessed via its own private staircase from the boot room.The property is accessed via electric gates and a sweeping gravel driveway that provides ample parking and turning for several vehicles. The detached four bay garage is a recent addition, oak framed and timber clad with remote controlled up and over doors (on two of the bays) for easy access in all weathers. An internal staircase leads to a useful loft storage area. There is a separate wood store and log store.The main garden extends beyond the garage and is predominantly laid to lawn, and is curtailed with post and rail fencing, beech and laurel hedging. At the top of the garden is a well established orchard with fruit trees of several varieties. At the highest point, to take advantage of the super views, a large garden room has been built (with mains electricity and water) including a large verandah and full bar, ideal for outdoor entertaining.At the rear of the house is a pretty walled garden, a pleasant spot for morning coffee.Behind the house is a detached, stone built barn, recently reroofed and currently providing dry storage, which has the benefit of planning consent held in perpetuity for conversion to ancillary accommodation. However, it may be possible to vary this consent for full residential use subject to obtaining the necessary planning approvals. In which case, this barn would make a great one bedroomed annexe or holiday let, providing an additional source of income. First draft plans have already been drawn up and are available for inspection from our office.
