House For Sale £695,000
NO ONWARD CHAIN - Located in a peaceful village on the edge of Dartmoor, offering a sizeable and secluded garden, summer house and stores, along with period features and gallery room for large pieces of art. Three bedrooms, three en-suites plus three receptions rooms for entertaining. Close to wonderful walks and the village country pub.
A historic detached home with beautiful two acre gardens located in a tranquil and secluded village with connections to Sir Francis Drake. This Grade II listed former pub which was called 'The First and Last' dates back to the 17th Century, and has gone through recent extensive refurbishments by the current owner.
The property now also offers planning permission (granted in 2017) to extend the kitchen which would further improve the living space . The house has an abundance of original features which include fireplaces, window seats and a circular stone stairwell. We have been advised that the property would have been classed as a Dartmoor Longhouse with connected barns at the rear for livestock. These barns have long been converted and are currently used as a sizeable drawing room with mezzanine, ideal for hanging of large pieces of art work and a ground floor master bedroom with en-suite and French doors out to the gardens.
The spacious grounds have been landscaped with secure fencing, lawns, seating terraces, apple orchard, woodland and courtyards which all combine creating an attractive oasis which extends to approximately two acres. Paths have been added which allow you to meander through the gardens and enjoy the sun at different times of the day. There is also a renovated summer house which was planned to be a studio plus a bike store and sheds. The village brook runs along the boundary of the property providing a continuous background ambience adding to the appeal.
The Devon village of Milton Combe offers a good community spirit, bus services and a renowned public house called the 'The Who'd Of Thought It Inn' ideal for food and drinks which is yards from the door. The National Trust runs Buckland Abbey which is on the edge of the village and was one of Sir Francis Drake's homes hence the connection to the surrounding landscape. Yelverton is approximately two miles and the popular market town of Tavistock, with its Pannier Market, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes and range of amenities is approximately seven miles distant. Dartmoor National Park begins just up the road.
The living space has been improved over recent years decoratively and in energy efficiency with addition of a new heating system and Worcester Greenstar boiler (LPG as there is no mains gas in the village) along with Charnwood wood burning stoves. The accommodation comprises porch, sitting room, drawing room with mezzanine/study, dining room/snug, kitchen and master bedroom with en-suite shower room. To the first floor is a gallery landing and two further double bedrooms both with en-suites.
