. The most stunning feature of this lovely family home is the magnificent views that are enjoyed over the valley to the majestic Tors of Dartmoor National Park. The property is also within walking distance of Kelly College with the panoramic views encompassing the grounds and playing fields. This truly exceptional detached house has been the subject of considerable expenditure by the present owners who have recently completed a programme of modernisation and refurbishment that has included not only re-wiring and re-plumbing, but also installing quality sanitary ware and a beautifully fitted bespoke kitchen with granite surfaces. The windows, some of which have leaded lights, are now all double-glazed in hardwood frames and the gas central heating includes four reproduction cast iron central heating radiators.

. It should be noted that the present owners have a tiling and flooring company and hence have spared no expense with the limestone and solid oak floors that have been laid to the principal rooms on the ground floor with the entrance hallway, first floor landing and main bedroom also having oak flooring, which is complemented by timber skirting boards in a period style. The wall tiles in the bathroom, utility room and kitchen are also top quality being hand thrown and glazed terracotta.
