Description

A Bespoke Eco-Home with Panoramic Views in Christow, on the Edge of Dartmoor National Park

This exceptional and truly one-of-a-kind home is located on a quiet private road, perfectly positioned to enjoy some of the most breath taking panoramic views across the Teign Valley and towards Exeter. Originally a 1960s detached bungalow, the current owners have thoughtfully redesigned and remodelled the property into an impressive, eco-friendly family home offering over 2,200 sq ft of beautifully appointed living space.

Set behind electric gates, the property combines striking contemporary design with high end sustainable features, including an mvhr air circulation system, air source heat pump, underfloor heating on the ground floor, and aluminium windows and doors.

Upon entering, the spacious entrance hallway immediately sets the tone with its handcrafted oak staircase and glass balustrades. The heart of the home is the spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining, living, and snug area - an incredibly versatile space ideal for entertaining and modern family life. The dramatic gable end, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, frames the uninterrupted views beautifully, while the wood-burning stove adds warmth and character during the winter months. Fully glazed doors open onto a front-facing balcony as well as the private, south-west facing rear garden, allowing you to follow the sun throughout the day.

The luxury kitchen is fitted with quartz worktops, a full suite of integrated appliances, and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light.

Also on the ground floor is a stylish shower room with WC, a large utility room for laundry and white goods, and a generous dual-aspect boot room.

Upstairs are three spacious double bedrooms. The principal suite enjoys a walk-in wardrobe and sleek en-suite shower room, with a window perfectly positioned so you can enjoy the views even while showering. A luxurious family bathroom with a freestanding bath completes the accommodation.

Externally, the home offers extensive parking for up to six vehicles, a large workshop with adjoining carport (offering potential as an annexe or Airbnb, subject to planning), and a substantial basement with over 6ft ceiling height for storage or conversion (STP). The landscaped rear garden is low-maintenance with a patio seating area, mature trees and shrubbery, a small allotment, greenhouse, and large plant room.

This extraordinary property offers the perfect blend of luxury, sustainability, and scenery, a true sanctuary in a sought-after Devon location.
