Property description

With views across the rolling Devon countryside, and set on the edge of this popular Devon village community with its school, garage with shop, church and pub, a fine family home in an unconventional design making the most of its surroundings having pv panels and good sized gardens. EPC:E

As agents we understand the house was designed by the renowned Architect Manasseh in the late 1960?s and was built as part of the then, Beaford Arts Centre estate, with subsequent later additions. The layout and style of interior pays homage to the era.

A recessed entrance under the roof terrace is an ideal spot for keeping muddy outdoor boots and such. The sitting/dining room is a fine triple aspect entertaining area being vaulted in one part, with a feature chimney with stove, and open tread stairs leading to the first floor. Off the dining end side, doors open into a good-sized conservatory on the western side with doors into the garden, and on the other the room opens into the inner hall and kitchen. Whilst the kitchen does offer an extensive range of units both wall and floor with associated work surfaces it is perfect for someone to update and put their own stamp on it. Leading off is found a good sized utility room with cupboards and sink that leads back to the covered entrance whilst linking with the inner hall. Off this is found a cloakroom and good size study/office that would also make a good ground floor bedroom if so required.

The gallery/family room on the first floor is where the views really come into their own stretching out in the distance. An inner hall with cupboards leads to the double bedrooms with the main one being double aspect with an en suite shower room and just outside the bedroom door across the hall, is found the roof terrace with its satin and glass balustrading. Finishing off the accommodation on this floor is the family bathroom.

Leading off the gallery/family room is a steep fixed ladder that leads to yet more space currently used by the vendor as a landing/creative area with a door opening into as an occasional bedroom having cupboards, eaves storage. The views from up here are even better than from the first floor and subject to relevant consents it may be possible to add a proper staircase and integrate this area more fully into the house.

Outside
The garage and workshop are accessible from within the house as well through the up and over door at the front and rear personal door at the back. The drive which has a greenhouse adjacent allows for further parking.

Gardens
Over the years it is clear to see that a lot of thought has gone into these with the style of planting and the design layout with many vantage points across the fields on either side available and more could be created if so required. We understand much of the planning and design was carried out by the second owners of the property who wanted to create a series of rooms with trees and shrubs dividing them allowing for new views as one walked around. Predominantly laid to lawn which runs around 3 sides of the house, it provides a lovely tranquil area to just sit and soak up the surroundings whilst running across the rear of the house is a terrace which is an ideal place for al fresco entertaining.
