Renney Road, Heybrook Bay

Located on the edge of this sought-after waterside village in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Carpfisher is replete with features of its era and every opportunity has been taken to make the best of the spectacular water views from almost every part of the house. Set well within its plot of approximately 0.8 acre, this superb 1930s detached home has been well maintained and sympathetically extended to provide spacious accommodation, in addition to its formal, informal and working gardens. An internal inspection is truly recommended to appreciate the abundant features of this wonderful property.

Sliding glazed doors lead to an Entrance Porch which is glazed to two sides with a tiled floor and a teak panelled front door with feature carp stained glass insert and leaded sidelights leading to the Entrance Hall. A teak pew is built into the staircase with arches above and a useful storage cupboard under the stairs.

The Study/Bedroom 4 benefits from two windows to the front and has a built-in dresser style unit with cupboards and display shelving. A half glazed door leads to a Wet Room which has a frosted window to the side, tiled floor and fully tiled shower cubicle (note: shower is currently not in use). The Sitting Room has a large curved box bay window to the rear showcasing the spectacular south-westerly views, a beautiful Mackintosh-style stained glass window to the side, built-in storage cupboards and a feature fireplace with gas fire set on a marble hearth with decorative surround and mantel. The Dining Room has a large window to the front and open archways leading to the Kitchen and Sun Room. One step leads down under the arch into the excellent Sun Room, which is glazed floor-to-ceiling to most of the western elevation, affording a wonderful outlook over the gardens to the sea and beyond, incorporating a sliding glazed door leading out to the patio.

The Main Bedroom boasts an almost full-width bay window to the rear making the most of the additional height and allowing one to see as far as Rame Head and the Eddystone Lighthouse, Dodman Point near Mevagissey and even the Lizard in Cornwall on a very clear day!

Bedroom 2 enjoys a dual aspect with windows to the front and rear (also with panoramic views), a vanity unit with inset hand basin with mixer tap and cupboard under, a door to an eaves storage room which could lend itself perfectly to conversion to an en-suite or dressing room. A curtain separates this from the further eaves area which is currently used for storage. The Third Bedroom has a large window to the front. The Family Bathroom is a generous size with three frosted windows to the front and is fitted with a matching suite comprising a panelled bath with shower attachment and screen over, a pedestal hand basin, low level WC, fully tiled walls and a useful storage cupboard.

The gardens have been superbly managed over the years and divided into several distinct zones to provide a beautiful haven full of interest and with a high degree of privacy. To the front of the property is a painted teak-gated driveway providing parking for several vehicles and screened from the road by Devon banks with a mature coniferous hedge. There is a shrubbery to one side of the driveway which is well stocked with mature specimens including honeysuckle and cyclamen, in addition to access to the air raid shelter. The formal rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and slopes very gently down to the west. There is a substantial balustraded patio to one side, from which one can enjoy the amazing, uninterrupted sea view, which extends around the rear of the house to the other side, where there is a pedestrian gate leading back out onto the driveway and access to the garage and workshop. Flower and shrub borders are well stocked with a wide variety of specimens including pampas, hydrangea, hebe and camellia, and there is a small pond with water lilies and paved surround. An opening in the wall leads to the 'working' area of the garden, which is divided into three areas and with walled perimeters. A well set-out vegetable garden with compost management and several beds with grassed walkways leads on to an orchard which is stocked with six apple trees of assorted varieties and a large fig tree, in addition to rosemary and buddleia for the pollinators and a handy shed. The final section is home to the herb garden with a fruit cage and two greenhouses. Finally, located to the northern side of the property is an area of woodland which has paths winding through the trees with a small clearing at one end and the summerhouse at the other. This is a truly wonderful wild area with Himalayan birch, mature ivy, magnolia, rosemary, a walnut tree, honeysuckle and other woodland flowers. In total, the plot extends to approximately 0.8 acre.
