Heatherlands is a highly impressive, detached residence, originally built in 1914, which has been substantially extended and improved in more recent times to create a wonderful family home. Orientated West/East all the rooms enjoy an abundance of natural light. The property retains some very nice original features yet is an ideal home for the modern family. Upon entering the front entrance door into a spacious hallway, doors lead to two fine dual aspect reception rooms which are beautifully light, with both rooms having fireplaces with fitted wood burners. Returning to the hallway there is also a door to a ground floor bedroom suite, with a pleasant aspect over the gardens and an ensuite shower room. A further door from the hallway leads to another dual aspect reception room ideal as a study/playroom etc. A real focal point of the property is an impressive kitchen/dining room, with a night storage electric AGA, integrated appliances, and an extensive range of kitchen units with granite worksurfaces. The kitchen is perfect for even the keenest of chefs and is also ideal for entertaining, with a spacious dining area and double doors leading to the beautiful gardens. Adjoining the kitchen is a traditional and very useful pantry, with tiled floor and shelving. There is a useful rear hallway, ideal for kicking off your boots after a brisk Dartmoor walk, with adjoining utility room with WC.
To the first floor is a landing, again with an abundance of light from large skylight windows with doors leading to a further four bedrooms, with the main bedroom having an ensuite bathroom and the second bedroom having an ensuite shower room.

To the outside, the property is approached via a gated driveway, which provides off-road parking for numerous vehicles and leads to an extensive outbuilding consisting of, two stables and a tack room (currently being used for storage and a workshop) and a double carport, all with power and lighting connected.
The gardens are an absolute delight and with the gardens in front and to the east side of the property predominantly laid to well-tended lawns, which are well-screened from the road by mature trees and hedging. The garden contains many specimen trees, shrubs and plants and there is a working fruit and vegetable garden with raised beds and greenhouse.
The Northern boundary adjoins open countryside, creating a high degree of privacy and seclusion.
