For Sale3 Bedroom Detached House in Throwleigh, Okehampton, Devon, EX20.£775,000

A well-presented, south-facing cottage set back in a large, private garden in a beautiful position on the edge of Dartmoor. Stone Cottage has a gorgeous setting amidst beautiful countryside, within the Dartmoor National Park and a few minutes walk to the open moor. It is located in a quiet lane about a quarter of a mile from the centre of the sought after village of Throwleigh. It is set back a good distance off the lane behind a beech hedge and a beautiful copper beech tree. The cottage was built in the mid 19th century and is built of local granite with double glazed UPVC windows under a pale slate roof. The front of the house is south facing and has most of the accommodation on the ground floor. Essentially it is divided into two parts with the reception rooms and kitchen/breakfast room arranged in a fantastic open plan arrangement on one side of the hall and two of the property’s three bedrooms and the family bathroom on the other and offering under floor heating. The sitting and dining rooms, once separate rooms, are now conjoined to form a single family space that leads directly through to the kitchen/breakfast room. This wonderful space has windows on three sides covering from south-east through to north west. This means that the best of the available natural light is captured through the day and into the evening to give a wonderfully light and airy feel. The sitting “room” has an open fireplace and French doors that open to the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room looks out on three sides across the garden and out to the massif of the moor above in the middle distance. It has a tiled floor and is fitted with custom, high end, contemporary units, solid custom worktops and integrated Neff appliances. The principal bedroom suite is on the property’s first floor and is accessed via a staircase from the dining room, which emerges directly into the bedroom. Off the bedroom is a good sized, ensuite bathroom and both rooms have rooflights with lovely, far-reaching views of the moor. Stone cottage is set in a good-sized, mature and established garden with many granite edged flower beds. It is bound by mature hedging that affords a degree of privacy. The garden is level around the house, with lawn at the front beside a gravelled parking with space for several cars. Fronting onto the parking area is a stone-built single garage with a lean-to greenhouse behind it. There is also a wood store and two sheds. Fringing the back of the house and extending beyond the kitchen/breakfast room is a paved terrace. A flight of steps drops down from the terrace to more lawn, dotted with several mature trees, that slopes gently downwards away from the house. To one side and overlooking the rear lawn is a west facing summerhouse, which can be used as an office, with a wonderful view of the edge of the moor in the distance.
