To the front of the property, attractively planted borders frame the house, while a pretty wrought fence that wraps around the property creates a welcoming entrance. From here, the path leads to the gated driveway, which offers a strong sense of privacy and presence. There is generous space for parking multiple vehicles, alongside a detached double garage fitted with power, light, and extensive eaves storage. Together, the landscaped approach, broad driveway, and double gates create an impressive sense of arrival, setting the tone for the home within.
Set within a popular modern development, this detached four-bedroom, 1,332 sq ft home combines light-filled interiors with attractive outdoor space and a high-quality finish throughout, offering an uplifting balance of comfort and practicality.
The ground floor flows from a welcoming hallway with cloakroom and storage. The sitting room is dual-aspect, including an attractive bay window drawing in the light. At the heart of the home is the kitchen and dining space, designed for modern family living and entertaining. Generous in size, it features a large sun-end bay window and French doors that open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The fitted kitchen is well-equipped and thoughtfully arranged, with a six-ring gas hob, double oven, ample storage units, and space for appliances. Its layout combines practicality with style, making it an inviting space for cooking, casual dining, or gathering with family and friends. Adjacent, a separate utility room provides additional storage and outdoor access, further enhancing the functionality of this central hub of the home.
Upstairs, the main bedroom is a bright retreat with dual-aspect windows, fitted wardrobes, and a sleek en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms-one with built-in wardrobes-are complemented by a good-sized single, perfect as an office or work-from-home space/bedroom, and a stylish family bathroom.
This home is all about lifestyle, and the garden plays a central role in that. Bathed in sunlight and afforded a generous degree of privacy, it creates a seamless extension of the living space-the perfect backdrop for family life, quiet moments, or entertaining friends. Thoughtfully arranged over three tiers to make the most of its southerly aspect, the garden offers a series of inviting spaces including paved terraces, an artificial lawn, and a playful putting green. From every level, the outlook opens to far-reaching countryside views, with one elevated terrace providing a particularly special spot for outdoor dining or evening drinks while enjoying the view-a true highlight of the property.
Beyond the property, the setting is just as appealing. The house sits within one of the South Hams’ most desirable villages, only a short walk from the heart of the community. Whether it’s an evening drink at the pub, walking the children to the highly regarded school or nursery, or simply enjoying the rhythm of village life, everything is close to hand. Bringing together light-filled interiors, a southerly garden with far-reaching countryside views, and a sought-after location, this is a home that balances modern comfort with the ease and charm of village living.
