5 bedroom house

SITUATION Luscombe Maye are pleased to present Cutwellwalls, a residential smallholding including a detached farmhouse, detached annexe, large stone barn, stables and outbuildings, together with some 14 acres of agricultural land/pony paddocks and orchard.

Situated on the North side of the village of Avonwick, Cutwellwalls is approximately 2 miles from the village of South Brent, in the South Hams area of South Devon. The nearest town of Totnes is about 5 miles to the East and the A38 dual carriageway expressway, connecting to the M5 motorway and national road network, being about 1 mile distant.

Cutwellwalls benefits from a south facing position, overlooking open countryside with uninterrupted far reaching views. Not of listed status, the former stone built and slate clad farmhouse and adjacent annexe is generous in size and versatile in its use. The property would be well suited for equestrians, with perfect horse/pony paddocks, stabling and excellent outriding in the Devon lanes around the property. 

FARMHOUSE The property is approached via a long hedge lined driveway, passing the stone barn on your right with parking for multiple cars directly ahead. The stone paved courtyard leads directly to an elevated entrance where the lawned garden, hedging and mature trees can be fully appreciated.

Entering the triple aspect sun room via the sliding door provides a light and airy space to welcome guests, enjoy the views or carry out a spot of bird watching. Moving through to the spacious main reception room, the fireplace is an impressive feature with a large wood burner, stone wall surround with solid wood mantle. This warm and inviting reception room benefits from dual aspect widows, high ceilings, exposed beams and a window seat that is calling out for a blanket, a good book with a cup of tea to be enjoyed on it.

The second reception room featuring a complimentary stone wall, wood burner and south facing window, offers a multifunctional space for family and guests with potential use as a snug, children's play room or office. In addition, many social occasions can be catered for in the adjacent dining room where a large table takes central focus with ample space for additional furniture and storage.

To the left of the main reception room is a spacious kitchen with stunning views over the garden and countryside with a highly sought after Aga completing the heart of the home. The room consists of a range of wood floor and walled cabinets and worktops, a stainless steel sink and drainer, gas cooker and with room to house a fridge/freezer and microwave. Space for informal dining gives the feel of an open plan kitchen allowing for a modern way of life, whilst being surrounded by the character of the property which is reflected in the feature stone surround and church style pew.

Moving beyond the kitchen is a useful utility room with W.C perfect for laundry days, containing a stainless steel sink and drainer, room to house a washing machine, dryer and additional fridge/ freezer. To the rear there is a good sized boot room ideal for washing produce from the garden and having a place for coats, boots and wellingtons.

At the rear of the main reception room is a part stone/part wood staircase with double height ceiling leading to the first floor accommodation. There are five generous sized double bedrooms with a family bathroom at either end of the property. The master bedroom is located at the front of the property, dual window aspect allows an abundance of light to fill the room with south facing views to be enjoyed for miles.

 

ANNEXE The detached annexe benefits from its own entrance and comprises of a kitchen, cloakroom, downstairs shower room, two reception rooms and three bedrooms upstairs with a family bathroom. In addition, the property benefits from a paved courtyard with a fenced garden which allows direct access into the orchard. The annexe again offers a reasonable amount of space either to be used as ancillary accommodation/multi-generational living to the house or potential to generate an income from holiday letting purposes, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent. 

STONE BARN Immediately to the north of the house is a large, detached stone barn (approximately 90' in length) which does not have planning consent for change of use to residential, but certainly offers some scope for this.
 

OUTSIDE Surrounding the house are approximately 14 acres of agricultural land / paddocks, a Devon Wildflower Trust meadow, stables for three horses, double garage, vegetable garden and outbuildings. Immediately to the south of the house is a very attractive enclosed predominantly lawned garden, pony area with outdoor heated swimming pool and games room.

An additional two acres can be purchased separately.  

SERVICES Mains electric, metered mains water supply, private septic tank drainage, oil fired Aga and gas cooker
