5 bedroom house

CHAIN FREE STUNNING ECO HOME plus BUILDING PLOT WITH PP set in SOUGHT AFTER VILLAGE in IDYLLIC RURAL LOCATION.

Spacious, bright and modern five bedroom house plus adjacent building plot with planning permission in place in perpetuity for an additional 4/5 bedroom home, plus micro-business potential via the EHO-Approved detached garage.

The property was built by the current owners as their family home in 2016 and boasts top end fixtures and fittings throughout, including stone floors and locally sourced granite work surfaces. The property's eco credentials include an award winning Kensa ground source heat pump, partially powered by a 4 kW solar panel array that is owned outright. This system is controlled by central time controls for both water and underfloor heating on both floors to maximise daylight solar efficiency. These items in combination with ample insulation result in an EPC rating of B (91), only 1 point shy of an EPC rating of A.

There is a detached oversized double garage which offers micro-business potential as it EHO Approved (hygiene cladding plus hot & cold water) and currently houses a 4x2m temperature and humidity-controller walk-in chiller – could be perfect for a meat, vegetables or cut flowers business for example. The gravel driveway can accommodate additional parking for 3+ cars. The property has been meticulously maintained and is decorated to the highest standards throughout.

Planning for construction of two 4/5 bed homes with double garages was granted in 2011. Construction of The Orchard commenced works, and therefore consent for construction of the second dwelling remains in perpetuity. Planning Ref: West Devon 01101/2010

The property is entered through the front door into a spacious double height hallway. There is a great deal of space and flexibilty for both open plan living and separate reception rooms with pocket doors between the kitchen / diner and lounge. The bright and airy kitchen / diner has floor to ceiling glazing to the rear with french doors leading to the veranda, and within the kitchen are a fridge/freezer, double oven, induction hob, and integrated dishwasher. Locally sourced granite work surfaces complement the high quality white units. The lounge also has floor to ceiling glazing to the side with doors leading to an additional veranda, and a wood burner provides an additional heating source for cool winter nights. Finishing out the ground floor are an oversized utility, shower room, study, and single bedroom. To the first floor are four double bedrooms filled with natural light, a family bathroom, and a walk-in wardrobe with sun tube plus an en-suite within the main bedroom.

The property is set back from a quiet country lane on the edge of the village and is approached through double wooden gates leading to a large gravel driveway. Ample parking for 3+ vehicles is available in the driveway in addition to that within the detached double garage. The garage has up-and-over wooden doors and is power and light connected.

A pedestrian gate leads from the driveway to the side garden which combines lawned areas and a paved terrace with stone-built fire pit leading off the living room and single bedroom. To the rear of the home is a second terrace leading off the kitchen-diner, creating a perfect spot for al-fresco dining with views over the neighbouring pasture. Additional lawned areas extend beyond the terrace providing plenty of space for children or dogs to play or a future owner to create a vegetable garden or flower and shrub borders.

Exbourne is a picturesque village situated to the north of Dartmoor between the Okement River and Hole Brook. The Church of St Mary dates from the 14th Century, and the village is surrounded by beautiful rolling agricultural countryside. The village offers a unique underground community shop and post office, primary school, pub, and a garage. The nearby towns of Okehampton and Hatherleigh offer additional primary and secondary schooling along with amenities, including supermarkets, cafes, and shops, and Okehampton offers rail service to Crediton and Exeter and onward to the main Penzance to Paddington Line.
