A really exciting family home set in the middle of this pretty village with 1¼ acres of grounds
Applegarth is a spacious family home, with hugely flexible accommodation currently providing multi-generational living. Enjoying enormous privacy despite its central village location opposite the parish church of St. James the Apostle, the elevated position also allows lovely views from the property and particularly from the gardens across the village and countryside of the Teign Valley beyond. From the driveway, steps rise to the front door and lead into a welcoming entrance hall. There is an impressive double-aspect sitting room with tall ceilings, a warming woodburner and a balcony to the front, overlooking the church. The kitchen is a recent affair with plenty of space for a breakfast table for French windows open to the terrace beyond. Further stairs lead to the principal bedroom suite, which is a stunning triple-aspect room with a picture window overlooking the terrace and doors leading to a balcony/ bridge. This room has a very glamorous en suite bathroom. Downstairs is a utility room. Beyond this is a games room. At the other end of the house is an impressive family bathroom. There is a further imperative bedroom with en suite shower room as well as dressing room. There are a further two bedrooms upstairs, along with a converted loft with Velux windows. There is a self contained annexe with separate kitchen, shower room, sitting room and bedroom. The annexe was formerly a garage and could be re-converted, if preferred.The house is set in 1.22 acres, with lawned areas to the front and the rear. The rear garden is south-facing and enjoys plenty of privacy. A large terrace with a pergola leads to a banked lawn area and a separate orchard with soft fruit trees. Above the property is a large level paddock which is well ring-fenced with a five-bar gate and vehicular access (by arrangement).
