This includes complete rewiring (including hard wired smoke detector/fire alarm), new central heating system including a Firebird condensing boiler, oak fitted kitchen with integral appliances and range cooker, and 3 new bathrooms. Other new features include Velux Cabriole Viewing windows and a bespoke staircase. Drakestone has also been re-plastered and had full insulation fitted to exacting standards. Full specification of materials used together with the necessary certificates and permissions are available for inspection by parties with a serious interest in the property. Externally, several substantial outbuildings have been added and extensive landscaping work undertaken. A full prior and post renovation pictorial record is available, for both internal and external works that have been carried out.
An Ode To Life At Drakestone
As supplied by our Vendor....Sitting on the front veranda in the late evening sun, gazing across the valley to the distant Blackdown hills, enjoying the sounds of the summer tourists droning gently along the A35, destination unknown, feeling slightly smug in the knowledge that you are already ensconced in this beautiful area of East Devon. Having enjoyed the abundant wildlife that traverses the hill; birds, deer, rabbits, the odd neighbouring cat foraging amongst the greenery, wishing to dine "au naturel" on fresh pheasant with a side order of small mouse, I must confess that I particularly enjoy the deer marinated in a cheeky red and slow roasted in the fitted range cooker, with a surfeit of crispy roast potatoes, lightly buttered runner beans, complemented by fresh hand caught Yorkshire puddings and nearly all from your own raised garden. Lose the kids for hours in the undergrowth around the rhododendrons, azaleas and many shrubs of indeterminate variety, hunting for them on your own 4WD mechanical goat. Enjoy a BBQ, dining al fresco in the thatched bamboo gazebo sharing your fine fare with the local wasps, flies and friends, all having a wonderful time and getting to know one another intimately. Into sheds? (It's a man thing!) You will be spoilt for choice, from the double garage sized workshop to the intermediate lined workshop to sheds dotted indiscriminately around the grounds, all to make life easier and oneself harder to find. In the winter, sit in the bay window looking out over the twinkling lights of the valley, enjoying the radiated warmth of the wood burning stove, sustained by the fact that it is fuelled from your own wood, free and untaxed. As you see the first snow flake gently drifting downwards, thoughts turn to the fun of tobogganing down the garden on your own mini Cresta Run, slipping and sliding towards the distant B3165, muted in the winter coat of white and safe in the knowledge that you have not had to endure the pain of airport disputes! Oh, by the way the house is pretty good too!
