Located on the southern edge of the village is the Southernhay
development, whilst its still connected to the village, with all
the village amenities within a short walk, the views over the
rooftops look out over the surrounding countryside to Dartmoor on
the horizon. A popular village, theres a great community here in
Winkleigh which supports the range of village shops and services
which include a village stores, post office, doctors surgery, pub,
butchers and a village primary school. Its no surprise that its a
popular place to live.
The house is semi detached and presented to a good standard. Its
a sizeable footprint, a solid build and has the usual mod cons of
uPVC double glazing and oil fired central heating no gas in
Winkleigh . The feel is more cottage like than one may expect and
theres a great feel internally. The living room has a stunning wood
burning stove and we love the way the living room, dining area and
kitchen are linked making for a sociable house, no matter what
youre doing. The kitchen is a great size and sure to appeal to
those who enjoy cooking and entertaining. On the first floor are
the 3 bedrooms, all of a good size and theres a family bathroom
with separate WC.
Outside, to the front is an area of lawn and off road parking
could be extended for a couple of vehicles. The oil tank is also to
the front and access to the side provides further storage options
and leads to the south facing rear garden. The rear garden is
mainly laid to lawn with planted beds including a variety of
fragranced shrubs & herbs and a paved patio area is ideal for
outdoor dining. A lovely addition is a garden office studio built
in the style of a shepherds hut! Its a great bit of additional
space and a feature of the garden. Complete with underfloor
heating, electric and wifi, its ideal for hobbies or work from
home. In addition to the main space is a lean to store, ideal for
tools etc.
