SITUATION

Stoke Gabriel is a popular and sought-after village which lies in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the head of a creek on the River Dart about four miles south-east of Totnes.

DESCRIPTION

The house was built by the vendors in 1985 and has been occupied by them as their main family home ever since. The property was built to a high specification with cavity block walls which have been rendered with some exposed stone on the front of the house. The vendors created the studio, which is detached from the house and adjoins the double garage to create a useful letting income and is let on Airbnb. There was once a heated covered swimming pool, which measures 32ft x 16ft, but is now utilized to grow vegetables. We understand that this pool could easily be restored with a new liner being fitted. The pool used to be heated from the oil-fired boiler in the house.

ACCOMMODATION

From the gravelled private parking area a porch leads into the spacious reception hall, with a tiled floor with stairs rising to the first floor landing. Door to a WC and door to bedroom 5/office. The well designed kitchen, which was replaced in 2015, has a range of base and eye-level kitchen units with soft close pan drawers and integrated full size Neff dishwasher, Bosch induction hob with extractor over, two fan-assisted electric Neff ovens, integrated full height refrigerator and pull-out larder cupboards. From the kitchen there is a rear lobby with further storage, a door to the outside rear garden and an opening through to the utility room. Here there is space for a freestanding freezer, a further range of base and eye-level kitchen units with a sink, plumbing for a washing machine and tumble drier and is where the Grant oil-fired boiler is located.

A door from the entrance hall, or from the kitchen, leads into the open plan sitting/dining room with the dining room located near to the kitchen with a large window overlooking the rear garden and an arch through to the spacious sitting room. There is a large patio sliding door leading out onto the rear patio and a feature brick fireplace with a slate hearth and open fire at the far end. The stairs rise to the bright and spacious landing with space to perhaps create a study area, with a large window and view overlooking the countryside beyond. There are four double bedrooms and a well fitted family bathroom with a large walk-in shower, separate bath, and on the landing is an airing cupboard with hot water tank. The main bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes with mirrored sliding doors, superb views facing northeast and southeast, with an en-suite shower room with a pair of sinks.

OUTBUILDINGS

The double garage has power and light connected with a pedestrian door to the side of the up and over garage door. There is a flight of stairs leading up to a boarded area for storage and ample space for work benches. With its own separate door, the studio adjoins the garage, with a door leading through to the well fitted kitchen with a range of base level kitchen units complete with an electric oven with 4-ring hob and extractor over and has everything that the holidaymaker requires.

From the kitchen an arch leads through to the open plan sitting room/bedroom, with a tiled floor and a sliding door leading to the paved patio area at the rear. There is a doorway leading through to the en-suite shower room. The studio has wall hung electric heaters.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS

The gardens surround the property on all sides and are level, with mature trees and bounded by a tall stone wall and a leylandii hedge to one side. There is a timber covered area adjoining the side of the property, which has a tiled roof, making a useful covered dining area outside. There is a pergola with climbing wisteria. With a number of fruit trees. The large patio area, which is accessed from the sitting room, adjoins the former covered swimming pool. Access to the former pool is from a door off the patio, which has a timber frame over and now utilized as a large area for growing vegetables. The pool equipment is still in situ. The vendors last used the pool in 2012.

To the side of the garage and accessed from the drive, is a useful storage area behind a timber fence.
