The family bathroom is positioned along the hallway and is fitted with a WC, wash basin and electric shower. There are three bedrooms, with the third bedroom situated towards the front of the property, while the second bedroom is a comfortable double benefiting from a wash basin and side facing window. The principal bedroom enjoys a pleasant outlook towards the rear garden and features a built in shower, wash basin and excellent built in storage surrounding the bed area.
The heart of the home is the lounge/diner, which houses double aspect windows allowing plenty of natural light. The dining area overlooks the well maintained garden and currently incorporates a home office area, while the adjoining lounge provides a comfortable space to relax, with an electric fire and TV aerial point.
Stairs from the lounge lead down to the lower ground floor, where there is a well equipped kitchen and further dining space. The kitchen benefits from an integrated electric oven, ample storage and a sink positioned to enjoy views across the rear garden.
A further useful basement style room is located beneath the master bedroom. This versatile space benefits from power, a window overlooking the side of the property. Double sliding doors from the diner open directly onto the garden.
Externally
Outside, the property continues to impress with a generous and well maintained garden. The sliding doors open onto a paved patio, creating an ideal area for outdoor dining and entertaining. Steps lead down to a decked section, with a pathway continuing towards two particularly generous allotment style garden areas, offering excellent space for keen gardeners, growing produce or simply enjoying the outdoors.
There is also additional storage beneath the garage, together with a useful outside WC and window.
Location
The property is ideally positioned for village living, with Abbotskerswell offering a strong community atmosphere and a range of everyday amenities including a well-regarded primary school, village inn, parish church, popular café and local shop. There are also parks, tennis courts and scenic countryside walks close by.
For a wider range of amenities, Newton Abbot is nearby and offers supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants and regular markets, together with a mainline railway station providing services towards Exeter and London Paddington.
