2An individual house, which is in a desirable DARTMOOR village, a short distance to Yelverton and Plymouth City making this an ideal home for those who LOVE THE OUTDOORS while being connected to good transport links.
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
An extended detached house, kept in very good order, and a perfect moorland retreat moments away from the open moors. The house was built in the 1920s and was later extended by previous owners. Internally the house has a unique layout and has been adapted to work for the current owners. Firstly, and due to the location, there is an incredibly useful covered area/boot room ideal for kicking off boots, drying pets, and hanging up coats, with the moors around the corner this room works so well. The property benefits from two good size living rooms and a central kitchen with a utility/porch. There is also a home office, formerly a downstairs bathroom, ideal for those who work from home. Double doors lead out into a garden room area, which is covered with a central skylight. This area means you can enjoy being outside rain or shine. The main living dining room has a fireplace which currently houses a gas flame fire, for warming a winters evening, and a bay window to the view. To the first floor are two double bedrooms and a modern shower room. Both bedrooms have stylish fitted wardrobes and drawers which take away the need for extra furniture. The home is heated by a Greenstar Heatslave 12/18 boiler, which is serviced, PVCu double glazing and further insulation measures.
The property is approached down a short, shared driveway and opens to a private parking area for several cars. A former garage is now a hobby room with a garden store, with mains power and lighting, perfect for deliveries to be placed out of the elements. The garden rises to the side of the house with lawns, stone chippings and decked terrace. There is a greenhouse on the decked area with space for seating. There are established shrubs and planted borders, making an attractive garden through the year. There is a lovely sense of space from the garden which looks out over the Meavy Valley.
