4 bedroom house

The Walled Garden is a beautifully presented modern house in this much sought-after location. Interior designed, with impeccable attention to detail, the property exudes quality and elegance. Much thought has gone into directional facing, roof heights and the openings of bi-fold doors and windows, to create a pleasant relationship between the interior of the house and its historic garden environment. Clean lines, powder coated aluminium, a bespoke hand-made Peter Booth kitchen with a full complement of integrated Neff appliances and Caesarstone work surfaces, luxury designer bathrooms by Antonio Bullo and Benedito and an extensive network of television, telephone and data point wiring make The Walled Garden a stylish, sophisticated and comfortable home. The house also exhibits excellent energy efficiency, employing an air source heat pump for heating throughout under porcelain tiles or engineered oak flooring, a rainwater harvester and a living flame gas log effect fire in the sitting room.

The property is accessed via a gated entrance into the development of Daracombe Park, with a further gated entrance onto the sweeping drive and parking area, adjacent to the detached double garage. An additional private gated entrance gives access from the quiet country lane and provides parking for two more vehicles. The gardens and grounds are set within approximately 0.5 acres with a mixture of mature trees, gently sloping lawns, raised beds, terraced patios, courtyards and a quaint granite bench.

Daracombe Park is an exclusive gated development, located in the popular village of Highweek, just outside the regional market town of Newton Abbot.
