Crapstone, Buckland Monachorum

An impressive individually designed detached residence, built in 2007 to an exacting standard and offering beautifully proportioned accommodation with a characterful, almost period feel. Featuring five double bedrooms, three en-suites, generous living spaces, a bespoke kitchen, landscaped gardens, ample parking and a double garage, all within the sought-after village of Crapstone on the edge of Dartmoor.
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
This fine, individually designed detached residence was constructed in 2007 to an exacting standard, with careful consideration given to ensuring the house blends naturally with its surroundings. Although relatively modern, the use of traditional building methods, a natural slate roof and attractive double-glazed sash windows gives the property a characterful, almost period appearance.
The house was designed with generous proportions throughout and is particularly well suited to both family life and entertaining. The ground floor centres around an impressive open-plan living and dining room, providing a wonderfully sociable space with direct access onto the rear terrace and gardens. There is also a separate study/snug, offering a quieter and more intimate reception space.
The substantial bespoke kitchen is another highlight of the house, with polished granite work surfaces, an extensive range of fitted cabinetry and a comprehensive selection of integrated appliances. There is ample room for a dining table, making this a practical everyday family space as well as somewhere to entertain. From here, the accommodation continues into a conservatory overlooking and opening onto the rear garden. A separate utility room and cloakroom/WC complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, the sense of space continues with five generously proportioned double bedrooms. Three benefit from their own en-suite facilities, including the particularly impressive principal bedroom, which also incorporates a dressing area. The bedrooms positioned to the front of the house are enhanced by attractive bay windows, while most feature high-quality built-in wardrobes. The remaining two bedrooms are served by a spacious family bathroom, complete with both a separate shower and bath.
The quality of the original specification is evident throughout. White Porcelanosa sanitary ware is complemented by Hansgrohe taps and shower fittings, while the property also benefits from gas-fired underfloor central heating, double-glazed sash windows and telephone points with pre-cabling for digital connections throughout.
Outside, the property is approached via an impressive driveway leading to a generous parking forecourt and double garage with electrically operated doors. To the rear, the landscaped gardens are arranged over two levels and predominantly laid to lawn, creating an attractive and established setting.A substantial paved terrace extends across the width of the house, directly accessible from both the dining area and conservatory and providing an excellent space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Further pedestrian access is also available from the rear service lane.
