Property description

Situated in a quiet corner of the village of East Charleton, this Georgian property was once part of a substantial Devon farmhouse and with high ceilings still retains an air of elegance from a bygone period.

A beautifully presented home offering spacious accommodation including four bedrooms, master en suite, two generous reception rooms, a well appointed kitchen, a large utility room and cellar. Each window provides views over the beautifully landscaped and mature walled garden, adjacent to which are two garages with additional parking for several vehicles.

East Charleton is some three miles from Kingsbridge which is situated at the head of the Salcombe Estuary, which in turn is a particular attraction for wildlife and sailing enthusiasts. From the water, one can visit various beautiful creeks and enjoy sandy beaches around Salcombe harbour. The coastal drive to Dartmouth offers some of the most stunning views in the south west and for non drivers a regular bus service connects Kingsbridge with Dartmouth, Totnes and Plymouth.

One of the main attractions of this property are the beautifully landscaped and walled gardens. The current vendors have transformed the gardens, planting them with many specimen trees and creating well stocked flower beds and shrub borders. At the top of the garden, is a sheltered terrace, with ponds, designed to take advantage of the country views and from where the sun and al fresco dining can be enjoyed. At the bottom of the garden is a greenhouse and kitchen garden producing vegetables to sustain a growing family. The lawns sweep around the house and provide a lovely play area for children whilst being a gardener`s delight for the enthusiast. A natural spring, which emanates from fields behind the property, provides water for watering plants and washing cars.

To the front of the property is a tarmacced area with parking for three/four cars and two garages which both have light and power. The oil tank and bin area is also concealed here and double timber gates give further access to the garden.
