Badges is real gem of a Devon cottage, with all the character features you would expect including slate flagstone flooring, a superb fireplace with a wood burner and exposed beams combined with modern 21st century living.     Fast 'Airband' broadband is connected, there is oil fired central heating and UPVC double glazed windows throughout and the cottage has been vastly improved over the past few years, with a modern roof and external rendering.     Internally, the beautiful garden room is lovely and light, with a practical tiled floor, a southerly aspect and has good views over the adjoining field and countryside beyond. This opens nicely into the modern, spacious kitchen/dining room which is a great sociable family space with a range of matching units with an integral fridge/freezer and the LPG Range is included in the sale.     The sitting room forms part of the original cottage and has very different 'feel' with slate flagstones, beam ceiling and has a wood burning stove set in the fireplace, as its focal point. Additionally, the ground floor has a useful utility room, bathroom, boiler room and study, which has character features and could be easily opened up to create a larger living space, if required.     On the first floor, off its own staircase, the master bedroom features an en-suite and a balcony. The balcony is a stunning spot for a coffee enjoying the morning sun, overlooking your land, with views towards surrounding countryside. Being separate from the other bedrooms, this room could be ideal for a dependant relative or for an independent teenager.     The second bedroom is actually the largest double bedroom which benefits from an en-suite w/c, and the good-sized single third bedroom, are both accessed via the second staircase.     Offered with no onward chain, Badges is a superb lifestyle opportunity in the very west of Devon, with easy access from the cottage to the outbuildings and land.     The key selling factor is the outside space and the lifestyle and potential it creates.     The cottage is being sold with just over 67 acres of ground with large, level or gently sloping fields with natural hedge boundaries. There is approximately 5 acres of woodland which feature ancient oak trees, fuel to supply the wood burning stove and has a herd of deer using it as their home.        A natural water course (well away from the property so no flood risk) runs through the land and there is easy access to it, from both the cottage and the range of outbuildings, with separate gated access from the quiet road.        The opportunity to farm the land traditionally, as a hobby farm, is ideal although any buyer looking for a conservation or rewilding project would also find Badges well worthy of their interest. Currently, our clients has the land fully managed so there are options dependent on how 'hands on' a buyer wants to be.        The outbuildings are numerous and include; a former SHIPPON - 31'7" x 15' (9.63m x 4.57m) with potential to convert subject to any necessary consent, a DAIRY - 9'6" x 7' (2.9m x 2.13m), POLE BARN - 47' x 36'6" (14.33m x 11.13m), STORE SHED - 24' x 13'6" (7.32m x 4.11m) and a modern multi-use BARN - 45' x 40' (13.72m x 12.2m).        The cottage has gardens mainly laid to lawn, with a gravelled driveway providing ample parking/turning and access to the double garage, with an area beyond the garage that is used as a kitchen garden and orchard, with two greenhouses.        The property lies within three miles of the historic market town of Holsworthy in delightful Devon countryside close to the village of Clawton, which has a county primary school and parish church. Holsworthy features both primary and secondary schools, a range of independent and national shops and businesses, medical centre and dentists, leisure centre and a Waitrose supermarket.     Bude, its canal, sandy beaches and the stunning coastline are just over 12 miles away.     The larger cities of Exeter at around 45 miles distant, Plymouth 38 miles distant and the North Devon regional centre of Barnstaple within approximately 30 miles all offer a wider range of educational, cultural and leisure facilities.     At Launceston, which is some 12.5 miles, the A30 dual carriageway provides access to the Main A30 trunk road leading to Exeter and the M5 and, in the other direction, towards Truro and the rest of Cornwall.        AGENTS NOTE - The land plans included on the particulars are for guidance only and do not constitute official land registry documents.

This most welcoming family home has been created to provide well balanced accommodation, whilst not removing the C17 origins, through careful extension and updating. Over an initial 7 years improvements carried out include rewiring, new central heating system, double glazing, new mains water feed, solar and photovoltaic panels (High FIT tariff applies) and the creation of almost park like grounds including the planting of 1,000 trees via a grant that was provided by the National Tree Federation, to create a magical copse named after one of the Vendors. Coming in through the electronic gates you are greeted with a sweeping circular driveway, with central lawn, that allows for numerous vehicles to be parked and you soon realise this is not just a typical home. KEY FEATURES Accommodation A fine front door opens into a useful porch beyond which is a welcoming reception hall having a flagstone floor and impressive inglenook fireplace with stone facing, former bread oven and timber mantel and surround. Leading off is the sitting/dining room some 30’ in length, a natural divide creating two distinct areas with the sitting room featuring a window seat overlooking the front lawn, a large stone-faced inglenook fireplace, raised hearth with beaten copper hood and oak bressummer. This was discovered during the Vendors extensive renovation of the house in 1993. A study is found adjacent to the music room which itself is double aspect having a flagstone floor and double doors opening into the wrap around conservatory/orangery which is a wonderful space to just sit and enjoy the natural outlook into the garden with many of the plants remaining for the next owner. Returning through the reception hall heading towards the morning room is found an internal cellar room which we as agents, are assured is an ideal constant temperature for bottles, whilst opposite is a large cloak/shower room with blue and white Victorian sanitary ware and chequer board tiled floor. The morning room with its log burner inset in the fireplace and having picture windows over the courtyard garden, is adjacent to the kitchen, making it an ideal breakfast room. The positioning of the doors into and out of the double aspect kitchen allows for an extensive range of wall, floor and drawer units with associated work surfaces on four sides and sinks at either end. Appliances include a built in fridge, four ring gas hob, twin oven and a Stanley ‘Aga’ style double oven range that also provides for heating to some radiators within the house in conjunction with the solar panels. Leading off the kitchen is a boot room and porch to the side. Rounding off the accommodation on the ground floor is a large utility room with a selection of wall and floor cupboards with work surfaces and ample room for three larder style fridge freezers (amply demonstrated by our clients!). Beyond is the laundry room with space for both washing machine and tumble dryer and having a classic Adamzes glazed trough style sink. SELLER INSIGHT “Following a full Army career and having lived and worked in 8 different countries, we wanted to ‘retire’ to the West Country. When we saw Riddiford House and gardens for the first time, it was apparent they had been neglected for many years, and initially we said no, but upon reflection, we saw fantastic potential and wanted to do it. That was 30 years ago and it took 7 years and a great deal of money to create the wonderful home that we have today,” say the owners. “Entrance to the property is via double gates after which you are immediately overawed by colourful flowerbeds, trees, rhododendrons, and a red GPO telephone box. Entering the courtyard is actually breath-taking due to the colour of the flowers and bushes but when you go into the main garden by the front door, well, the sight is amazing! The 25ft high sloping bank contains thousands of snowdrops, daffodils, bluebells, and colourful bushes, and is a sight to behold, as is the 2-acre wood, Claire’s Copse, which was planted by my wife.” “Both of our daughters were married in Winkleigh and we used the garden for their Wedding Receptions where we celebrated with over 200 guests. There is a separate BBQ area, vegetable garden with a 40ft long greenhouse, and five large vegetable beds, some of which planted with patio/miniature fruit trees and soft fruit bushes. It’s therefore a natural habitat for wildlife and we have all sorts of bird life in the trees and on the ponds, as well as animal life, including a deer which occasionally wanders through the wood. It is wonderful to sit down at the bottom of Claire’s Copse with a bottle of wine and enjoy the evening wildlife around the lakes.” “In reality, having completely rebuilt the house, every room is exactly how we want and they are all much loved. The sitting room / dining room and the conservatory are perfect for family time together and when guests visit, the obvious favourite is the main lounge and dining room. As an author, my favourite is, the fully equipped office upstairs which has four work stations.” “I have enjoyed walking the dogs across the nearby farmers field and then through the woods up to one of the local pubs. Winkleigh village has a fantastic range of amenities, including a butcher, grocery shop, Post Office, flower shop, coffee shop, community centre, village hall, sports centre, veterinary practice, two garages (one that sells fuel and does MOT’s), GP surgery, and medical centre. All in all, Winkleigh gives off a nice ‘village feeling’.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property. They have not been independently verified, should not be relied on without verification and do not necessarily reflect the views of the agent. There are three staircases within the house one just off the morning room, the main stairs off the rear hall which has a chequer board tiled floor and under stair cupboard with radiator and the third rises adjacent to the study, up to the office (potential bedroom 6/7). The office is a huge triple aspect room with views and set up with four workstations and being sold with the desk furniture including shelves, filing cabinets, monitors and recording device. A door leads into the rest of the first-floor accommodation, firstly into a large dressing room (potential bedroom 7) having floor to ceiling wardrobe cupboards on two sides, which in turn connects into the lobby off the main landing. Here is found a double aspect double bedroom with ornate fireplace and adjacent is a good-sized bathroom with corner bath, separate shower, wc, and wash basin. The main stairs have a fine stained-glass window at the head and off the galleried landing is a delightful double bedroom with picture rail and ornate fireplace enjoying an outlook over the side gardens. A door connects both landings and in this part of the house is found the main guest bedroom which is double aspect with a range of fitted cupboards and not only enjoys the benefit of a contemporary styled ensuite shower room but also has a fabulous outlook over the courtyard garden to the copse beyond. The remaining two double bedrooms have wash basins and use of the second bathroom which has a traditional roll top bath, wash basin and separate wc. Outside Attached to the house is a bank of garages, two of which are up and over electrically/ remotely operated doors, one that has been used as a family gym, a workshop with benches and in here is found the oil-fired boiler, providing heat to the majority of radiators within the property. On the opposite side of the drive, and likely to have been garaging at one point, sits a large log store and two further storage areas. Sitting just below the courtyard garden and being able to be accessed on foot or via car off the main driveway is a substantial 37’ barn with sink, workbenches, shelves and cupboards fitted. The barn has planning (Ref. No: 1/0093/1997) for conversion and extension to create a swimming pool and was started at the time when it was re-roofed, so we understand the planning to be current. Although this planning exists the building would lend itself to an annexe, gymnasium or yet more accommodation as there is already electricity, water and drainage connected having a cloakroom in one corner. Former piggery This is some 66’ in length and in 1992 planning (Ref. No: 1/0092/1997) was granted for a conversion to a two storey activity centre and this, as a building, offers a myriad of options as it is also accessed off the drive and sits adjacent to the paddock. Gardens and Grounds It is hard to know where to start as they really do compliment this home in so many ways. The main lawn is found at the front, and we understand it was a former grass tennis court and is a great location for marquees and such as our clients have demonstrated during their years here on several occasions. The banks that surround it lead up to the perimeter boundaries. A large ornamental pond, complete with tumbling waterfall, sits in one corner. A path with raised beds leads to the inner courtyard which provides a secondary access to the garage block. At the side of the house a formal courtyard garden comprising a circular lawn with gravel area ideal for multiple pots and a paved path leads across to a classic covered BBQ where is also found a large marble circular table complete with stools for 8, that will be staying with the house. Behind are more workshops/potting shed that lead out into the large walled vegetable/fruit garden complete with several raised beds and impressive 40’ greenhouse. A large rockery leads down to ‘Claire’s Copse’ as it is affectionally known, which is the most magical environment, originally planted with over 1,00...

Situated within the popular and peaceful village of Beaford, North Devon, this handsome and substantial home features stylish accommodation made up of four double bedrooms, all with luxury en suite bathrooms, generous reception rooms and a wonderful sense of calm and warmth throughout. The rear garden is a perfect paradise tucked away to further the peace and quiet that comes with its village location and an integral double garage provides extra potential or car parking space, with separate garaging and gravel parking just a short walk across a private lane. Inside: Old Orchard barn is nothing short of remarkable, from the moment you step through the door it is clear that real thought and energy went into the planning and build of this property in 2004. From its wonderful open hallway all the way into the double garage you can see the care and attention that has gone into making this incredible house a home. The front door opens into the stunning hallway, high vaulted ceilings above. To the right past a generous under stairs coat cupboard double doors lead into the expansive lounge, complete with handsome brick- built fireplace housing a lovely wood burner. The double doors found here can create a stunning cosy room in the winter, and in summer they can be opened to create the beautiful stunning flow throughout the downstairs. Beamed ceilings overhead continue the character theme flowing throughout the property adding a lovely warmth and making for the perfect space to entertain in or indeed enjoy of an evening around the fireplace. A glass paned door opens out into the garden room at the rear of the property, allowing for floods of natural light. At the far end of the room is another door leading into the 4th bedroom or downstairs office, with enough room to comfortably fit a double bed and with the added benefit of its own en suite bathroom, creating a perfect guest bedroom or home office away from the rest of the accommodation. The aforementioned sun room is a spectacular space, with angled double -glazed units overhead and in front looking out across the manicured gardens. This room provides a perfect position to enjoy throughout the day and through the seasons all the while benefitting from an abundance of light flowing into the property. It also connects the sitting room, hallway and kitchen diner, creating a lovely closeness to the downstairs whilst simultaneously separating them providing flexibility. Heading back across the hallway you enter into the simply stunning kitchen dining room through matching double doors, a wonderful touch that again provides the ability to separate each room or keep them open for an uninterrupted flow. Complete with engineered oak units and worktops the kitchen wraps round on two sides to create a wonderful open space to entertain in, further amplified by the double doors opening out onto the rear paved patio. The kitchen has a fitted dresser and a larder cupboard can be found on the left of the kitchen, providing extra storage and room for an American style fridge freezer to be tucked out of the way. This beautiful hybrid space is another perfect example of modern living whilst still retaining the wonderful character of a barn conversion. Running the length of the room’s right flank underneath multiple velux windows lies the dining area that will comfortably hold a sizeable dining table and chairs to house the whole family, another door to one end opening out onto a private patio with room enough for another table and chairs, perfect for a morning coffee. The double garage can be found beyond the kitchen, another large expanse of space accessible from the paved driveway through a modern electric roller door to store vehicles or indeed as substantial storage, home gym or further reception/accommodation subject to the necessary permissions. In addition to the double garage is a handy utility room housing the washing machine and tumble dryer along with space for further fridge freezer. Off of this is found a further w.c and storage, with quarry tiles underfoot this space is perfect for muddy boots/dogs. Upstairs: The main staircase takes centre stage in the hallway, leading up to an open landing that is bathed in natural light courtesy of further velux windows. Turning left at the top of the stairs takes you into the main suite, an exquisite space with ample room for a king -sized bed as well as free standing units on top of the already built in wardrobes. The en-suite can be found at the far end, finished with beautiful flooring, w.c, wash hand basin as well as both a bath and shower. Adjacent to the main bedroom is another smaller space that could work perfectly as a home office, or as it is currently utilised, a perfect dressing room with built in wardrobe storage. Heading across the landing you have another incredibly generous bedroom, again with large built in wardrobes and a stylish en suite. This is completed with a walk- in shower, wash hand basin and w.c. The main bedroom also provides access into the roof space above the garage. This is a tremendous L-shaped space boarded underfoot and fireboarded as well, a perfect space for storage measuring approximately 27ft long. The final bedroom could easily become a perfect annexe within the home, accessed by both the garden room and the rear garden creating a private entrance. A straight run of stairs leads up into a beautiful double bedroom, finished with built in wardrobes as well as space for free standing units and a large double bed. The en suite in here matches the tone and style of the rest of the house, with a walk- in shower, w.c and wash hand basin. Outside: The gardens make up a huge part of Old Orchard Barn, creating a remarkably peaceful and secluded escape to relax in and enjoy through every season as the year progresses. The private nature of the garden is such that it would suit equally well as a holiday home or full -time home, with an incredible patio perfect for entertaining a large number of guests, or indeed a private family dinner. The lawn is a wonderful open space as well, peppered with a beautiful array of shrubs, flowers, bulbs and trees to include a stunning silver birch. Even here you can envisage both a garden party or indeed the chasing of a ball by a four -legged friend. A summer house and garden shed provide outdoor storage for tools and the like, with the summerhouse having power and light connected, there is even a fruit cage tucked out of the way in the far corner of the plot. The gardens can be accessed from the rear via a pedestrian right of way, but also through a side gate that provides easy access for the oil tank to be topped up. In addition to the garaging within the property, there is a further double garage across the lane, with its own storage space above and gravel driveway to its front providing private parking for the property. To conclude, the flexibility and potential of the entire property is simply second to none, catering to a wide audience and providing a home of unrivalled quality to the market. The duality of its nature mean it would work both as a beautiful family home, multi- generational residence and simultaneously as a wonderful weekend retreat in the countryside. The large open space within flows brilliantly, with a distinct air of elegance throughout, all the while reminding you of the warmth and character that can be enjoyed within a barn conversion.

INTRODUCTON Rock Edge is a fabulous detached three bedroom residence with outstanding views across Torbay which really must be seen to be fully appreciated.  The property occupies an enviable position within one of Torbay's most sought after locations and provides easy access to the town centre, harbour and the shops and restaurants nearby. Rock Edge sits within a generous plot of 0.33 acre and offers garaging and parking to both the front and rear of the house.  Accommodation is laid out thoughtfully to make the most of the wonderful views from primarily the large reception rooms on the entry level.  The property is presented to an exceptional standard throughout and has been constantly updated during the current owners time of occupation.  There are two large reception rooms, a study or fourth bedroom, kitchen / dining room, cloakroom / wc and side conservatory.  Downstairs, there are three bedrooms, the master with en suite facilities and a modern four piece bathroom suite.  To the side of the house there is access to a useful large storage area where the gas boiler is situated. The main garden is located to the rear of the house.  The sun terrace directly to the rear of the house provides truly breathtaking views across Torbay towards Livermead, Churston Ferrers and Brixham.  Access down to the lower section of garden is obtained via a series of paths with colourful rockeries and seating areas.  The lower section of garden is predominantly lawned with established shrubs and apple trees and there is access to the Coastal Path and Daddyhole Plain via two gates which are private to residents. SELLERS INSIGHT We were searching for a coastal property nearly 26 years ago and viewed a number with views.  Despite it being a larger garden than we needed, when we saw Rock Edge we both fell in love with it.  The sea views were simply breathtaking and we enjoy them as much today as we did the first time we visited. Over the years we have constantly updated the property to modern standards and although we have considered extending upwards, we have always felt that the accommodation on offer provided us with everything we needed.  The close proximity to the town centre, coast path walks, access to Daddyhole Plain and the marina was a key factor for us buying, particularly as it is only a short five minute walk down the hill. We hope that the new buyers will enjoy Rock Edge as much as we have, it certainly is a very special home. STEP INSIDE On entering the property it is very clear that this is a house of exceptional quality and is immaculately presented throughout.  The accommodation is set to a 'reverse level' plan to make the very most of the outstanding views from the main receptions.  From the entrance hallway there is a cloakroom / wc and a useful storage area with room to hang up coats and store shoes.  The main two reception rooms take the form of a large 'L' shaped living room affording stunning bay views and a modern bespoke kitchen / dining room, perfect for modern day entertaining.  Both rooms interconnect each other and provide a smooth transition between receptions.  Just off the kitchen is a useful pantry and side conservatory room leading out to a private breakfast area.  From the living room, there is a fourth bedroom or study room to suit one's requirements. From the entrance hallway stairs lead down to a spacious landing area.  There are three bedrooms to this level comprising two doubles and a single.  All of the bedrooms afford views over the rear garden out to Torbay.  The master bedroom is a generous size double with fitted wardrobes and access into a modern three piece en suite shower room.  The family bathroom is a large modern four piece suite of exceptional quality with tiled flooring and tiling to half ceiling height.  To the side of the house is a boiler room which provides useful storage. It should also be noted that there is potential (subject to planning permission) to extend into the loft to create additional living space should one wish.  STEP OUTSIDE Rock Edge sits within a generous size plot of 0.33 acre.  To the front of the house is a brick paved driveway providing private off road parking for a couple of vehicles and leading to a good size garage with lighting, power and an electric up and over door.  The front garden is terraced to two levels with low maintenance in mind as the main garden is to the rear of the house.  Should one require additional driveway parking this area could easily be adapted to suit this. As previously mentioned, the main garden is to the rear of the house.  A pretty side breakfast area with path leads around to the rear garden where the view and sun terrace are prominent.  The sun terrace is extremely generous in size and affords panoramic views across Torbay.  These are views with a real wow factor!  A series of pathways interspersed with sitting areas and well stocked, colourful rockeries leads down to the main garden.  This area is mainly laid to lawn and largely level with a range of apple trees and colourful borders.  There is also secondary off road parking and a side gate providing access to a lane connecting the coastal path. LOCATION Rock Edge is situated on the highly sought after Rock End Avenue area of Torquay.  The property affords wonderful views over the bay and is a short walk down to Torquay town centre, the Marina and the Royal Torbay Yacht Club. There are wonderful coastal walks with a variety of sandy beaches, pretty coves and attractive headlands in both directions and direct access to the footpath from the houses in this area.

This hidden gem, nestled in the hills between Umberleigh and Chulmleigh is positioned on the outskirts of the popular and peaceful village of Burrington. Northcote Cross Cottage is a spectacular period detached 5 bedroom home with parts dating back to the 17th century, with further annexe accommodation, perfect for Airbnb or a family member looking for their own space nearby to the rest of the home. The eye-catching stone and cobb cottage resides in roughly a third of an acre, allowing plenty of room for the family to grow and enjoy, and is south facing so it enjoys the sun throughout the day. This blend of tranquillity and open space works perfectly to create a wonderful family home, with ample opportunity for you to put your own unique touches. Wooden five bar gates open into an expansive driveway leading up to the double garage with the main house positioned to the left. Taking the pathway along the front of the property, you immediately notice the impeccable finish of the newly lime rendered walls. This, combined with new oak lintels, really sets the property off beautifully. A pretty sage green, hardwood door opens into the spacious front porch, giving access to the home and providing plenty of space for footwear and coats. Turning right you enter into the open plan kitchen breakfast room, finished with bespoke country cupboards, a butler sink and brick surround for the electric range style cooker where the old fireplace once was, with room for an island or breakfast table. A large walk-in pantry sits to one side ensuring maximum storage space for food and supplies. A further doorway leads out into the utility room with a further butler sink and space for freestanding fridge/freezers. This in turn flows round into the laundry room where you’ll find further unit space for the washing machine and tumble dryer, and lots of room for wetsuits and wellies. There is also a handy w.c. just inside the rear stable door. Heading back through the kitchen, the hall leads into the dining room, an elegantly finished space with wooden flooring underfoot and beamed ceilings above, and symmetrical oak window seats. The fireplace commands attention in this room giving a lovely warmth and character to the space. There is plenty of room available for a large dining table in here, allowing for the whole family plus guests to enjoy mealtimes together. One end of the room has custom-made bookshelves, providing a perfect reading nook. At the far end of the downstairs is the sitting room. An impressive, Marland brick-floored space provides a cosy area to relax in, but is equally suited to entertaining guests around the brick-surround fireplace. The conservatory flows off of this room giving additional seating space that allows you to look out over the delightful gardens (whatever the weather!). To the rear of the sitting room is the family room, providing extra space for entertainment, a play room or occasional extra accommodation. This has its own set of double doors leading out to the wisteria adorned pergola and up to the patio area at the end of the house. A home office sits tucked behind this family room and gives another option for a home working space away from the main home, allowing privacy and peace. Completing the downstairs is yet another room along the back of the house, which would work perfectly as a hobbies space or smaller bedroom if required. Taking the main staircase up from the sitting room, a landing gives way to the main bedroom on the left, with plenty of natural light and abundant room for a king size bed, free standing drawer and wardrobe units as well as a built-in wardrobe. Being situated at one end of the home this space again is incredibly peaceful. A family bathroom is the next room along, serving the main bedroom, with a bath, shower, basin and w.c. The large built-in airing cupboard in here hides the hot water tank and gives lots of shelving for towels and bedding. The third door on the landing opens into a long hallway giving access to the rest of the upstair’s accommodation. The first being a generous bedroom currently housing bunk beds and plenty of shelves, drawers and a wardrobe. A built-in cupboard (or children’s hideaway!) sits over the stairway providing further storage. Continuing down the hallway you’ll find a light and airy L-shaped double bedroom and opposite this is the family bathroom comprising a bath, shower, w.c and wash basin. Next door is the penultimate bedroom, currently set up as a spacious home office, but also works well as a children’s nursery or walk-in wardrobe. Finally, at the end of the hallway is a very generous double bedroom, much like the main bedroom, housing a large double bed and plenty of wardrobe and drawer unit space. The charming cottage window looks out over the front lawn and lets in plenty of natural light. Heading out of the backdoor and sits another incredible addition to Northcote Cross Cottage. This is the converted garage or “Nest”. The current owners have created a fabulous self-contained accommodation, finished with its own tailor-made kitchen/breakfast room, luxury shower room, and an exquisite main bedroom/living area upstairs. Since completion, this has been used for spare family accommodation as well as an Airbnb, giving the discerning purchasers income potential. It is a brilliant modern space and is completely separate from the main dwelling. The other half of the garage downstairs provides excellent storage space, allowing for expansive shelf storage as well as room for a car, or as it is currently set up: a workshop and exercise space. As you’ll see, the garage area can be as flexible as your imagination allows! To top it off, there is parking for a whole fleet of vehicles. Outside an open lawn sits in front of the main house, with bird feeders in the trees that are frequented by goldfinches, chaffinches, woodpeckers and all sorts of local feathery friends. The lavender lined pathway leads up to a pedestrian gate opening out onto the lane giving a fantastic sensory experience as you take in the gardens. The pathways continue across the front of the home and lead around to a raised paved area, perfect for outdoor dining. Being situated at the westerly end of the house it basks in the evening sun. The current owners have a fire pit and barbecue/ pizza oven space here as well, a perfect addition for entertaining in the evening. Due to the lack of light pollution, the stargazing here is phenomenal. Adjacent to the BBQ area is a pond and rockery area lovingly built by the current owners. At the opposite end of the garden there’s an open expanse of lawn, peppered with fruit trees and bordered by hedging - providing perfect privacy. A substantial ‘Rhino’ greenhouse occupies the far corner, above the large raised planting beds, and with a hidden seating area creating a lovely escape and somewhere for a cup of tea in the sunshine, admiring the buzzards often seen soaring above. Adjacent a brick outbuilding can also be found, a great space for storing tools and garden maintenance equipment. There’s even a further shed providing more space for hobbies and storage. Perched on the edge of the Taw Valley, and 1 mile from the Tarka Line railway (Portsmouth Arms - request stop), the beautiful Devon countryside is truly on your doorstep, making it a brilliant base for exploring Dartmoor & Exmoor, but only an hour's train ride away from Exeter too. The house is just a short walk to Northcote Manor, where there is a stunning new Spa facility with a gym and swimming pool. The community in Burrington is really active, hosting countless bake sales and fun days to join in with. And for the team-players there’s several active competitive skittles teams.
