As with many former show homes this property occupies one of the more generously proportioned plots on the development, which remains a highly favoured cul de sac within the village.  Stoke Gabriel occupies an excellent riverside setting making it one of the most popular villages in the area.  Local facilities include the primary school, post office/stores, public house, church and active village community.  There are many beautiful riverside walks and the area is a haven for boating enthuaists.  The nearest town, Totnes, offers a varied selection of individual shopping outlets, eateries/public houses and recreational/cultural activities.  To the west of Totnes, flanking Dartmoor National Park, is the A38 Devon Expressway for travelling to Plymouth, Exeter and beyond via the M5 Motorway.  Plymouth has a ferry port providing services to Roscoff in France and Santander in Spain whilst Exeter possesses an international airport.  In the opposite direction, to the east, are the attractive resorts towns of Torbay and to the south the beautiful South Hams countryside and coastline.  

Fountain House is for sale for the first time since being built in the late 1980's.  Noteworthy features include the sunny level garden and the good parking facilities.  Various improvements have been undertaken including the renewal of the main family bathroom and the ensuite bathroom fitments.  Further upgrading is required and this well proportioned house will form a very comfortable home in a highly sought after location.
