SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION Moreleigh is a pretty village with an ancient parish church, the locally-renowned New Inn pub and an excellent community spirit. Just over two miles away in the opposite direction is California Cross, a small hamlet astride the B3196 with a petrol filling station/Spar general stores and The California Country Inn, an award-winning country dining inn.
It is almost equi-distant Kingsbridge, which lies at the head of the Salcombe estuary and offers an excellent range of shops, local services and facilities, and Totnes with its further range of facilities and British Rail train station. The port and naval town of Dartmouth is a similar distance to the east whilst the A38 'Devon Expressway' with its dual carriageway links to Plymouth and Exeter is around fifteen minutes driving distance to the north. It is also within the catchment area for the schools in Kingsbridge and in particularly its highly-rated (OFSTED) Community college.
We understand that the property dates from over 100 years ago. Of traditional stone construction with a slate roof, it was converted in the 1970s and now affords spacious accommodation of character which is beautifully presented throughout.
It is though, the setting and the location of the property which is likely to be of greatest appeal to most buyers: it occupies a delightful, lightly wooded position overlooking its own grounds and land and, although being rural, it is at the same time also highly accessible. PLEASE REFER TO THE ATTACHED FLOOR PLAN AND THE ACCOMMODATION BRIEFLY COMPRISES: Arranged on a reverse level basis, the living accommodation is accessed at ground floor level via a solid oak door which leads into the KITCHEN/DINING ROOM. This is well-fitted with a good range of stripped old pine-fronted units which includes a 1.5 bowl single drainer sink unit with adjoining work surfaces and cupboards and drawers under. There is also an oil-fired Aga and in-built Lamona oven and ceramic hob, fridge/freezer and integrated dishwasher.
An archway leads from the kitchen/dining room to the sitting room whilst a door leads to the MASTER BEDROOM which has a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite shower room with a three-piece suite in white.
The SITTING ROOM is a feature of the property: in common with all the rooms on this floor, it enjoys a dual aspect and wonderful open views over the surrounding countryside and it also has a wood burning stove to one end, set on a slate hearth.
At LOWER GROUND FLOOR level is a hallway which has a quarry tiled floor, cloaks cupboard and a timber door which leads to the outside. The GUESTS BEDROOM has an exposed ceiling beam and fully-tiled en-suite wet room with a two-piece suite in white. From the hallway, a feature archway leads to an inner hall where there is an understairs cupboard and, from where, doors lead to the TWO FURTHER BEDROOMS, both of which are of a good size and one of which is currently used as a study.
The SPACIOUS FAMILY BATHROOM is extensively-tiled and fitted with a four-piece suite in white comprising panelled bath with mixer tap fitting, double-sized shower cubicle, hand wash basin and WC.
Externally, the property is approached via one of two gravelled driveways, both of which has a wooden five-bar gate.
The higher drive leads through the front garden to a gravelled area with room for several cars. Alongside this is a small shed which houses the oil storage tank (cap 1,800 ltrs). Immediately to the front of the property is a slate paved terrace which is west-facing and receives the sun for much of the day. Beneath this is a useful open storage area whilst beyond the terrace is the garden which is mainly lawned with flower and shrub beds and borders.
The second driveway at a lower level leads around the house to the rear where there is an extensive, concreted yard and TWO BARNS, one open-fronted, triple bay (50 x 45 app) and including three loose boxes, the other measuring some 60 x 45 app with a workshop. Both have power and water connected.
Attached to the northern end of the house is a GARAGE/UTILITY ROOM which affords obvious scope for extending the living accommodation, if required and subject to any necessary planning consents.
On the lower side of the second driveway there is a vegetable garden with fruit cages a small orchard and a greenhouse (8 x 6). Beyond this is a natural wildlife area which has a profusion of plants, irises, parsley and hogweed etc..
The land lies to the rear (east) of the property and has excellent access from the yard and the barns etc. It takes the form of three gently sloping pasture fields and is bordered along much of the eastern boundary by a tributary of the river Avon. There is also a delightful, largely Beech wood which has an abundance of bluebells, daffodils and wild anemones.
