House For Sale £1,650,000
Lower Park is a handsome detached family home with comfortable, flexible accommodation arranged over two floors. The house is light and airy with views from every single room over the grounds and the surrounding Dartmoor countryside. The house was built in the 1920s by the local landowner who carefully selected the site with its commanding views. It was used by All Hallows School during the Second World War to house pupils and according to the “All Hallows Chronicle”, the view towards Fingle Gorge and Meldon Hill is one of the finest in England.
On the ground floor are five reception rooms, including the large drawing room, which has two bay windows welcoming plenty of natural light and an open fireplace. There is also a sitting room, a formal dining room, and an office. The south-facing conservatory receives sunlight throughout the day and opens onto the splendid garden, with views of Kes Tor beyond. The kitchen/breakfast room looks out over the rockery and terrace and has ample storage space, an Aga and integrated appliances.
All the bedrooms can be found on the first floor, including the dual aspect principal bedroom, which has an en suite bathroom. There is also a family bathroom and a shower room. The property is in excellent condition but also offers significant potential.
