Property description
Set in a natural WOODLAND LOCATION close to wildlife, with FAR REACHING VIEWS over the Meavy Valley. This DETACHED FOUR BEDROOM HOUSE has undergone many improvements but much of the ORIGINAL CHARACTER remains. The grounds amount to JUST UNDER FOUR ACRES and offer many areas which include private and terraced lawns, a summer house taking in the views, established woodland, seating areas and productive vegetable area. The kitchen with the Aga and exposed stone work and the generously proportioned Sitting and Living room with both wood burner and open fire are two particularly attractive features of this home.
