Beechnut Lodge, Devon

An opportunity to acquire a delightful, listed, character one bedroom gatehouse lodge in the sought after village of Lustleigh.

The accommodation comprises a living room with a three sided front elevation and windows, a smart galley kitchen, a double bedroom with French doors to the garden and a smart modern shower room. The garden is south facing and surprisingly large with a small patio in a corner that catches summer evening sun, retaining walls with planters, a lawn and mature hedgerows at the front for privacy and good views over fields at the rear.
