LOCATION
The Perch is in the most glorious, rural and peaceful setting, surrounded by open countryside and situated about a mile from the village of Loddiswell. The village offers a pub, a
primary school, a village shop, Aune Valley Farm Shop and Cafe, Avon Mill Garden Centre and the South Devon Chilli Farm.
The surrounding walks are idyllic, taking you through woodland, open fields and along the banks of the River
Avon, as it makes its way to the Avon Estuary at Bantham.
Kingsbridge, one of the major market towns of the South Hams, is about 4 miles and offers a lovely high street with an eclectic mix of independent retailers, cafes and pubs. There
are two supermarkets, a leisure centre, cinema, health centre and Kingsbridge Academy KCC which is OFSTED rated as outstanding.
South Hams is known for its glorious beaches, stunning estuaries and miles of coastal walks. There are numerous golf courses and of course sailing out of Dartmouth and Salcombe is world renowned.
Communications are excellent with the A38 Devon Expressway about 8 miles to the north providing access to Exeter, the M5 and Plymouth. The mainline rail station at Totnes runs a regular service to London in just over 2hrs 40 mins.
THE PROPERTY
The Perch is a beautiful, detached stone house, of considerable character and charm. Formerly part of Coombe Farm, it sits across the courtyard from the original farmhouse and has been thoughtfully and creatively converted into a stylish and individual country home.
The ground floor opens into a welcoming herringbone paved entrance hall, from which stairs rise to the upper floor. The heart of the home is a superb kitchen dining room, fitted with a comprehensive range of sleek contemporary units and integral appliances, including a fridge freezer, oven, hob, and dishwasher. A large central island provides both workspace and informal seating, while there remains ample room for a farmhouse style kitchen table, ideal for relaxed family dining and entertaining. Also on the ground floor are two double bedrooms, one of them with an en suite bathroom, and a further family shower room.
The first floor is arranged around a spacious galleried landing and features an elegant sitting room, complete with carved fireplace housing a wood burning stove and bespoke library shelving flanking either side. Double casement doors lead to the garden and rear terrace. The principal bedroom offers a well appointed en suite bathroom and private terrace, perfect for a morning coffee, and a further double bedroom, study, and a well equipped laundry room with fitted units, washing machine, tumble dryer, and traditional butler s sink complete the first floor accommodation.
The Perch is a home of real distinction, combining thoughtful design with traditional materials and craftsmanship, in an unspoilt and highly desirable South Hams location.
Adjoining The Perch is the former linhay, which has been granted permission for conversion to a home gym and office. The linhay is currently a large storeroom, which is wooden clad and sits under a slate tiled roof, measuring nearly 27 x
19 . Between the linhay and the cottage, is a covered store.
OUTSIDE
There is a side terrace which wraps around to the rear of the cottage, and from here, a few steps rise to the higher level, where there is a second terrace and the remainder of the
garden.
