Yealmpton

DESCRIPTION

This beautifully presented detached house enjoys a quiet position on a quiet leafy no-through road in the popular village of Yealmpton, within walking distance of amenities and the surrounding countryside. Built in the 1970s, the property offers well-proportioned rooms, large windows which let in plenty of light and décor that has been updated throughout including modern doors. The property was extended by the previous owners and the accommodation comprises a kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, sitting room, large utility/boot room, downstairs WC, four bedrooms (three double and one good-sized single) and a family bathroom. There is the potential (subject to any necessary consents) to extend over the kitchen/breakfast room as we understand that the foundations were designed for this purpose. The property enjoys a good degree of privacy with gardens to the front and rear, including a West facing patio with doors to the dining room. The property features a detached single garage, off road parking, gas central heating and double glazing throughout. A viewing is advised to appreciate the standard of presentation and position of the property.

ACCOMMODATION

The utility and boot room is a practical space for families and those who enjoy an outdoor lifestyle, featuring a tiled floor, storage area for coats and shoes, a range of floor and wall mounted cupboards with wooden work top over, Worcester combi-boiler, space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer and stainless steel sink. An open aspect leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room built in 2019, with underfloor heating. This light-filled space boasts windows to the front and rear, plus Velux sky lights in the vaulted ceiling. The kitchen area features a country style kitchen with wooden worktops and cream shaker style cupboards and drawers with wooden work top over. Integrated appliances include a Neff electric fan-assisted oven, Bosch dishwasher, Bosch extractor fan and American style fridge/freezer with plumbing for water and ice. A breakfast bar area is complemented by additional space for a table and chairs, making it an ideal informal area to share a cup of tea with a friend or a family meal.
The formal dining room is on the West side of the property and enjoys the late afternoon and evening sun, with patio doors opening out to the terrace and garden area beyond. An archway leads through to the sitting room which overlooks a lawn. A door leads into the hallway with doors to the downstairs WC with basin, and the utility/boot room. Stairs (with storage cupboard under) lead to the first floor.
The first floor landing leads to the four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The largest two bedrooms benefit from large built-in wardrobes. Bedroom 3 is a small double, whilst bedroom 4 is a good-sized single with built in mid-level single bed. The family bathroom has a P-shaped bath with rain shower over (plus hand shower), basin on vanity unit and WC. An airing cupboard houses the pressurised hot water system and shelving to store linen and towels.

OUTSIDE

Steps lead up from the parking area to the house. The level gardens wrap around the house via a path to each side. On the West side is a patio area with pergola covered in a mature grape vine. This area enjoys a high degree of privacy and sunshine from around lunchtime into the evening, making it the perfect place for a BBQ or to sit out. French windows from the dining room open out onto the patio. A mature fig tree, espalier-style apple tree and climbing roses grow against the boundary fences. The other side of the property receives sun from morning into the afternoon. Laid to lawn, it's a safe spot for children to play, with fences to the boundaries and a garden shed, and is overlooked by the sitting room.

GARAGE AND PARKING

A detached single garage with parking space to the side and additional space to the front provide off road parking opportunities. As Torr Lane is a no-through road and the house itself is second from the end, there is ample parking at the end of the road for visitors.
The detached garage has electricity and light. Natural light from the double glazed window to the side and a work bench to the end. Eaves storage.
