St. Giles, Torrington, Devon, EX38

The pleasing elevations of stone and render under a tile roof of this home blend well with the rural surroundings and it is easy to see why this home has been a popular holiday destination.

Approached down a county lane this delightful property enjoys lovely views across fields to the back and an orchard to the front. Approached though a five bar gate the driveway offers plenty of parking and detached from the house is a garage with up and over door with power and light connected and a room at the back currently used as a children’s den/playroom

On entering the house, you get a real sense of homeliness and having two separate reception rooms makes this a great home to entertain in and afterwards, during the winter months, enjoy the log burner inset in a large stone and brick arch fireplace in the sitting room. The kitchen breakfast room has space for a table at one end and is an ideal place to cosy up to the Rayburn that provides for the hot water and heating. From here doors lead you outside to the terrace which works well for al fresco entertaining. There are extensive runs of work surfacing, cupboards and drawers above and below with space for an under counter fridge and dishwasher. Leading off the kitchen is found the utility room that has a 4 ring electric hob with oven under, space for a washing machine and a door to the outside. A hall leads down to the shower room.

Stairs lead from the sitting room to a generous sized split level galleried landing off which all the bedrooms lead, two being doubles, one a twin and the remaining one a single. All have views of some kind and three have built in cupboards. Rounding off the accommodation is a good sized family bathroom that enjoys lovely views across the neighbouring fields.

The formal gardens are laid principally to lawn with mature trees and shrubs complementing the rural surroundings and a path studded with spring bulbs leads to the outbuilding and paddock which has a field gate at one end leading back out onto the lane.
