Situation Salamus enjoys a peaceful yet central location in the heart of Diptford, a desirable South Hams village surrounded by rolling countryside and within the South Devon National Landscape. The village offers a welcoming community and a well regarded primary school, with a network of country lanes and walks on the doorstep.
Totnes, just six miles away, is a historic and thriving market town known for its vibrant atmosphere, independent shops, and excellent transport connections, including a mainline station with services to London Paddington, Exeter, and Plymouth. The nearby village of South Brent also offers a good range of amenities and access to Dartmoor, while the A38 Expressway is easily accessible, making commuting convenient.
Description Set in mature, landscaped gardens and offering generous accommodation across a single level, Salamus is a spacious and well maintained detached home ideally suited for family living or those seeking a quieter lifestyle in a village setting.
This south facing property benefits from excellent natural light throughout, with well proportioned rooms and a flexible layout. The accommodation is arranged around a wide and welcoming entrance hall, creating a natural flow between living and bedroom areas.
Accommodation The entrance hall is a striking feature in itself broad, bright, and full of character, with warm wooden floors and ample space for seating and storage. To the front of the house sits a lovely dual aspect sunroom, ideal as a home office or garden room, with sliding doors opening directly onto the garden.
The sitting room is equally bright, with a large picture window overlooking the front lawn and a fireplace with a wood burning stove, offering comfort and charm year round. This space leads to the impressive dual aspect kitchen breakfast room, fitted with base units, wooden worktops, and a mix of integrated appliances including a Cooke & Lewis dishwasher, Ariston cooker, inset hob, and a traditional oil fired AGA. A Belfast sink sits beneath the rear facing window, looking out over the gardens. A large glazed internal wall connects the kitchen to the dining area, providing a sociable and airy feel.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room with further storage, plumbing for laundry appliances, a sink, and external access to the garden.
Four generously sized bedrooms are arranged off the main hallway two overlooking the rear garden and two to the front all enjoying good natural light. A family bathroom and a separate shower room serve the bedrooms, along with a spacious airing cupboard.
Outside To the front is a tarmac driveway with parking for several vehicles, complemented by an additional parking area at the rear, accessed via Church Park Close. This leads to a large detached double garage with power, lighting, a side entrance door, and a manually operated up and over door. The garage also includes a fitted workbench, offering superb storage or workshop potential.
The gardens are beautifully arranged, with a mix of lawn, flower borders, mature trees, and seating areas. A side garden, accessed via a gate from the front lawn, is a peaceful oasis with a gazebo, raised beds, and a seating area ideal for entertaining. The rear garden features a large lawn bordered by trees and a striking monkey puzzle tree, along with a composting space and tucked away storage area.
