Situation & Description: Believed to have been constructed in the late 1940's 'Yellands' is a highly distinctive property situated at the end of a private road within grounds screened by mature trees thereby ensuring a high degree of privacy and seclusion. Although enjoying a semi rural location the property is only minutes away by car from St Marychurch and the shopping precinct where local amenities including banks, building societies, bars, restaurants, shops and supermarket can be found. There is an excellent primary school in the nearby village of Stokeinteignhead and there is also the Abbey private school just over a mile away. //

. The position allows ready access to the Torquay/Teignmouth Road where local coves and beaches offer a wide variety of water based recreational activities. This part of the South Devon coast is well known for its beautiful beaches and countryside with Oddicombe and Maidencombe beaches are within easy reach. Nearby village inns and restaurants including the Thatched Tavern and renowned five star Carey Arms are available at Babbacoombe . The pretty coastal village of Shaldon is just over three miles away whilst Exeter and the M5 motorway are approximately 30 minutes away by car with Torquay town centre, harbour and marina approximately four miles away. //

On entering the property there is an impressive dining room with large wood burner and French doors opening on to the rear terrace and is also open plan to a quality integrated kitchen/breakfast room making this area of the house ideal for entertaining.
