Description

Brook House is a pretty stone built house situated on the edge of The Ham in Dittisham in the heart of the village. The Ham is a wonderful riverside park which also offers a public slipway into the River Dart. The house, which was built in the early eighties, offers spacious accommodation arranged over two floors. Stone steps rise from the terrace to the front door which in turn opens into an entrance hall with guest cloakroom and a galleried landing beyond. There are two lovely receptions rooms, including a dining room and a sitting room and a bright kitchen / breakfast room on this level. The kitchen / breakfast room is fitted with a range of units, double oven, hob and dishwasher and offers gorgeous views of the River Dart. The sitting room is a double length reception room, again with wonderful views, a wood burning stove set in a stone inglenook fireplace and double doors leading to a decked balcony. Stairs descend from the galleried landing to the lower ground floor which comprises three large double bedrooms, including the main bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and double doors opening on to the adjoining terrace. In addition, there is a family bathroom, utility room and boiler room with external door.
Outside is possibly the jewel in the crown for this lovely home. The grounds are approached through a five-bar gate off Ham Lane and the drive / track then extends through the meadow beyond the natural spring fed pond. There is a wonderful selection of trees and mature shrubs and at the top and ample parking for cars and boats. A gate provides access across the path and into Brook House. Opposite Brook House on The Lane, is a lovely orchard with a range of fruit trees, spring bulbs and a large double garage/boat store.

Dittisham, or ‘Ditsum’ as it is often pronounced, is one of the prettiest and most sought after villages in Devon, with cottages, a village green on the bank of the River Dart and a bustling and thriving community.

The village is home to two very popular pubs, a post office/general store and the famous Anchorstone Café, licensed and serving delicious seafood on the water's edge.
