Lydford, Okehampton

NO ONWARD CHAIN. Rare opportunity to purchase a striking and beautifully presented, detached residence in Lydford. Substantial grounds approaching 1 acre, with a number of outbuildings and stables. These formerly had planning permission to be converted into holiday accommodation which could be an option for the next owner (subject to the necessary consents) to generate additional accommodation and income. Offering six bedrooms, four bathrooms and three reception rooms. A stunning location renowned for the beauty spots such as Lydford Gorge and the moor.
The property is within a short distance of open moorland, great for those who love walking in the fresh air, or if utilising the stables and out riding. The gardens are level and laid to lawn with an abundance of mature shrubs and plants providing a wealth of colour. The original part of the property is believed to have been constructed in the 1600's, whilst during the 1700's the property was extended to its current guise. The current vendors rent the property out for short term holidays throughout the year with great success.
The property boasts an impressive hallway, a downstairs study/bedroom with spacious ensuite shower room. A welcoming lounge with a window seat overlooking the gardens, fireplace with wood burning stove. A generous sitting room with magnificent inglenook fireplace and an impressive dining room. The striking kitchen has a modern feel to it with polished granite worktops, double Belfast sink, ample wall and base units incorporating integrated appliances and two eye level electric ovens, together with a central island and an Aga range for those keen cooks.
There are six double bedrooms, with three of them boasting ensuite shower rooms and a further family bathroom. A wealth of character features can be found throughout including vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and 'A' frames, exposed stonework, fireplaces and flagstone floors. A must see for the most discerning of buyers.
