A wonderful detached family home set in just under 2 acres of gardens and orchard with spectacular countryside views
Description
Culverwood is a spacious, detached family home on the edge of the village with extensive gardens and superb views of the rolling South Hams’ countryside. Believed to have been designed by a Swiss architect in the 1970’s, Culverwood is a comfortable home arranged over two floors. The generous entrance hall leads into the well-fitted kitchen, with its oil fired Redfyre range and additional electric companion. The adjoining breakfast room enjoys views over the garden and fields beyond and provides access to the terrace and garden to either side. There is an impressive, split level living / dining room with a wood burning stove and French doors to the garden, a second sitting room and a study. Also on the ground floor are a cloakroom, a utility room and a workroom / studio with adjoining store.
From the entrance hall, stairs rise to the first floor where there is a large, dual aspect principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom / dressing room, an en suite shower room and access to an attic store. There are a further three double bedrooms on this floor as well as a single bedroom and a family bathroom.
Outside, the property has a verandah and south facing terrace, ideal for al fresco dining while taking in the glorious views. The formal gardens are largely laid to lawn with many mature trees and shrubs which are an absolute delight for any gardener. Beyond the formal gardens there is a sweeping stretch of wildflower meadow, orchard areas featuring a variety of young fruit trees, from plums and pears to dessert and cider apples, numerous recently planted, native woodland trees, and a small pond – a true haven for birds and other wildlife.
Culverwood also benefits from a double garage with attached workshop, several former stable buildings and an outdoor swimming pool which is covered with a greenhouse style cover. To the front, the property is approached via a gated driveway which provides ample parking.
Location
Rattery is an attractive, thriving village in the South Hams, situated just a few miles from Dartmoor National Park and well known for its excellent village pub, The Church House Inn. There are shops and amenities at the villages of South Brent and Dartington and the popular market town of Totnes, about 4 and a half miles away, provides a wider range of amenities, including a bustling high street with an eclectic mix of shops, boutiques, cafés, pubs and restaurants, KEVICCs secondary school, a leisure centre/ swimming pool, main line train station to London, and the beautiful River Dart. Rattery is a beautiful and peaceful rural location, yet benefits from excellent communications. It is well placed for accessing Dartmoor, and the beaches of South Devon, and the A38 Devon Expressway, which is about 2 miles distant, provides links to Cornwall southbound and northbound to Exeter and the M5.
Square Footage: 5,425 sq ft
Directions
From Totnes, follow the A385 through Dartington, crossing straight over the mini roundabout towards Plymouth. Continue along the A385 until reaching the sign to Rattery. Once in the village, drive past the Church House Inn, up a rise, and the driveway to Culverwood will be found further along on the right-hand side, shortly before the Almshouse Cross signpost (Please note, Sat Nav will take you to the village, not the house)
