Believed to have been built in the mid 1800s, Park Place is an
attractive street of double fronted houses, all overlooking the
fields to the South and to Dartmoor in the distance. Although still
part of the village, its ideally located being on the edge. Theres
some lovely walks nearby and of course, the amenities in the
village centre with shops, caf© and the pub. Since their ownership
over 25 years ago, the current owners have improved the house with
the addition of a two storey extension built at the rear, greatly
increasing the floor area and making it a flexible and spacious
home. There is oil fired central heating, plus a wood burner and
the sash windows add character and originality to the home but as
its not listed, could be changed for double glazing.
A useful front porch gives a buffer from outside as well as
providing additional coat shoe storage. Once inside, a door to the
right leads to the living room, well proportioned and light with
the south facing window. Theres a wood burner and its a cosy room
in the winter. The kitchen breakfast room also benefits from the
same orientation and leads through to a rear hall with a useful
utility room and door to the garage, ideal for storage of bikes and
or a car, which is handy as its linked to the house internally. At
the rear of the ground floor is a lovely room, snug, which could be
used as a dining room or additional living room or even as a ground
floor bedroom. Its got an ensuite shower room to add to the
flexibility plus a door to the rear garden. On the first floor, an
attractive landing gives access to the two front bedrooms which are
served by the family bathroom and at the rear, the master bedroom
has huge glass windows overlooking the rear garden and its own
ensuite. Theres also a study or nursery too but some may use this
as a walk in wardrobe!
Outside, a few steps up lead to the front door with a raised
front garden area. To the side is a shared drive leading to the
garage shared with the one neighbour . To the rear is a lawned
garden with seating areas and it backs onto a field behind. Its a
good sized garden with attractive stone walling, timber fencing and
planted borders.
Please see the floorplan for room sizes.
