DESCRIPTION: Located in a lovely rural position with wonderful south facing panoramic views over rolling Devon countryside and onto Dartmoor and Coldridge Church, this house really needs to be seen to be believed!

This once humble semi-detached house has had a massive investment from the current owners over the last 3 years to create a ‘show home’ like property which now includes an Oak kitchen diner, conservatory, living room with wood burning stove and a downstairs shower room and WC. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms, including a large master bedroom with balcony and a family bathroom which can be used as an en-suite if desired. Internal Oak doors have been added, plus floor coverings have been replaced with a large amount of Oak flooring and neutral carpets.

Outside, the South facing gardens back onto fields and offer many lovely seating areas, a fish pond, flower beds and borders intertwined with stone chipped footpaths plus vegetable plots and a greenhouse. To the front and side ample parking has been created leading to a large workshop which could be replaced with a garage or car port, subject to permissions.

GOING GREEN – As well as the obvious improvements to the house the owners have also made the property as eco-friendly (and cheap to run!) as possible. There are solar PV panels with feed-in tariff, this creates electricity to run/assist the air source heat pump central heating. There are also solar panels to assist with heating water, plus uPVC double glazing throughout, LED bulbs, insulated floors, insulated plasterboard outer walls and  cavity wall insulation.

DIRECTIONS: From Crediton follow the A377 road in a north westerly direction towards Lapford for about 7 miles. Upon arriving at Lapford junction take the 2nd turning on the left (opposite the garage) as signed to Nymet Rowland.
