Dominating the first floor is the breathtaking vaulted living room, showcasing exposed beams, painted stone walls, a modern wood stove, and a dramatic 'floor-to-ceiling' double-glazed window that offers views of the gardens, paddock, the neighbouring countryside, and Dartmoor in the distance. This floor also features a large modern bathroom with a roll-top, claw-foot tub and feature ceiling lighting.
The exterior of the property is equally impressive.

From the driveway, steps rise to a block of stables with vehicle access from a separate gate and in turn open out onto the paddock to the rear via a five bar gate, understood to be just under an acre, an ideal pony paddock, horse enclosure, hobby farm or a small holding and ideal for those looking for a `slice of the good life`. There is also block built outbuilding, ideal as a chicken shed and from the top of the paddock you can enjoy stunning, far reaching views out over the surrounding countryside towards the moors.
