Just look at the location! Right in the heart of Down St Mary, a
pretty mid Devon village which isnt too far off the beaten track.
In fact, only a short distance away is the A377 giving great road
access and the stunning Tarka Line which links Exeter and
Barnstaple via rail is within easy reach too. Surrounded by
stunning rolling hills, its a bit of a hidden gem.<⁄p>
The house is an end terrace and as such occupies a corner plot
which originally gave a larger garden but it also allowed for a
fantastic ground floor extension and all without losing too much of
the garden! The house and village unusually has mains gas central
heating, combine this with modern uPVC double glazing and you have
an efficient, solid house. Its been done to a great standard and
leaves very little for a new owner to do.<⁄p>
On the ground floor is a welcoming hallway and the stairs lead
up to the first floor. Theres a lovely living room with wood burner
which is dual aspect and with plenty of light. The kitchen is a
wonderful social space and its here the extension was built. Now it
allows for an ample working kitchen with plenty of storage as well
as a more open dining area with room for a large table and double
doors opening out on to the garden. Theres also a really useful
utility room with back door and a ground floor WC. On the first
floor are the 3 bedrooms, with good built in storage. Theres the
family bathroom too with a separate bath and shower giving family
options and the views from the first floor are a great way to wake
up!<⁄p>
Outside, theres a gated entrance and pathway across the front
lawned garden which has planted beds too. The garden opens up to
mainly lawn to the side and rear with an additional decking area
new summer 2023 and its worth noting that the fence has also
recently been replaced meaning less maintenance and increased
privacy.<⁄p>
There is no parking with the house but the owners and neighbours
park by the bus shelter and theres a bit of an unwritten rule for
leaving spaces for each other. Or theres parking on the road very
near to the house. Behind the house are some council owned garages
for which a new owner could join the waiting list.<⁄p>
