South Zeal / Throwleigh

A fantastic four bedroom detached house with Garages (one a potential Annexe) and Stables which has been greatly improved by the current owners and which sits in a 2.4 acre plot within Dartmoor National Park. It offers privacy and easy access out onto the moor.

Description

Stoneyhurst is thought to date back to approx 1860 and is of mainly stone construction with later additions and improvements. Greatly improved by the current owners it benefits from some excellent views over its own gardens and beyond and has potential for a detached annexe to be used alongside the property itself. It offers flexible living with two ground floor bedrooms and two first floor bedrooms. Externally there are attractive gardens divided into a number of gated areas and a meadow which could be used for a variety of purposes, included equestrian given the small stables located on site.

Accommodation

The main access is through the attractive porch with exposed stonework which opens into a good sized hallway with a study area and stairs up to the first floor. There is a good flow to the layout with a modern shower room adjacent to the stairs and with the hallway providing access to the two double bedrooms towards the left hand side (both with attractive views) and on the right hand side into the modern kitchen with exposed stonework, attractive store units with a Rangemaster oven and hob, sink with side drainer, space and plumbing for dishwasher. An archway opens into the Dining Room overlooking the garden with double doors out to the delightful Garden Room with vaulted ceiling, exposed stonework, and excellent views of the garden and surrounds. The Living Room is accessed from the Dining Room and also overlooks the lawned garden with double doors out.

Outside

From the lane there are three gates providing access into the property. The main entrance has stone pillars and leads to the circular drive and gardens. Just below this is a further timber gate providing access into the Paddock and to the Workshop/Garage whilst the third access is a pedestrian gate and parking next to the Garage/Annexe. The total plot extends to approx 2.40 acres.

The gardens are a particular feature with a number of attractive level areas with mature shrubs and plants for sitting out and enjoying the peaceful surroundings. There is also a walled vegetable garden with water feature and a Workshop/Garage with light and power and a double electric door.
