House For Sale £435,000
A charming and deceptively spacious character cottage with three bedrooms, a garden and wonderful countryside views, in a tranquil location in the picturesque village of Lustleigh.
This wonderful family home is beautifully presented throughout with stylish décor, feels warm and welcoming with electric central heating and double glazing, and is arranged over three floors offering deceptively spacious and versatile accommodation, ideal for a family. It is full of character with its thick, uneven, rough-rendered stone walls and stripped-pine internal doors and has stunning views over the neighbouring countryside from every room.
The front door opens into the entrance hallway on the first floor which has a terracotta tiled floor and natural light from a wide window and a Velux skylight. There is storage space for coats and shoes and an under stairs cupboard. Doors lead to a bedroom which is light and airy with dual-aspect windows, and a generously sized living room which has carpet underfoot, picture rails and cupboards and display shelving built into the recesses on either side of the chimney breast. Both rooms having fabulous rural views. A family bathroom has bare, possibly original, floorboards and dado rails, and contains an elegant standalone rolltop bath, a separate shower, a WC and a pedestal basin, with matching tiling above the shower and basin.
Terracotta tiled stairs lead down, past a cupboard at the side containing an electric boiler and an unvented hot water cylinder providing mains-pressure hot water, to the ground floor lobby. There is a modern, fully-tiled wet room with a rain shower and additional showerhead, a WC and a vanity unit with a basin and storage beneath for toiletries. A second door leads into a spacious kitchen/dining room which has a tiled floor, under-floor heating, and is filled with light from a window and French doors to the garden. It has a modern fitted kitchen with beautiful, dark, solid-granite worktops on three sides and an extensive range of cream base, wall and drawer units providing ample cupboard space. An electric Rayburn range oven provides the excellent cooking facilities, there is an integrated dishwasher, fridge/freezer and microwave, a Belfast sink beneath the window and plenty of room for dining table and seating for eight or more places, perfect for any occasion; a wonderful social space and "hub of the home".
A separate utility room has a solid-oak worktop, tiled flooring, gloss-white fitted units, a stainless-steel sink and space with plumbing beneath the worktop for a washing machine, and a stable style door to the garden.
Stairs lead up from the first floor entrance hall, to the second floor where there are two light and airy bedrooms, both doubles with superb countryside views, one with a fitted wardrobe storage area and a hatch in the ceiling gives access to the loft space where there is plenty of insulation, storage and a light for convenience. The second bedroom with recesses for wardrobes on either side of the chimney breast. There is also convenient cloakroom with a WC and wash-hand basin.
Outside, the rear garden is fully enclosed making it safe for both children and pets and southeast facing enjoying plenty of sunshine. It is low maintenance with an area of granite gravel with a built-in barbecue, and an artificial lawn making a fabulous outside space for alfresco dining or drinks with friends and family, all with stunning views over the neighbouring woodland, meadow and river. There is an outside tap for convenience, and a gate in the picket fence provides alternative access onto steps down to a lane.
While there is no parking with this property, it is available on-road nearby, or in the centre of the village.
