Rectory Road, Dolton, Winkleigh, Devon, EX19

This is a home with a genuine sense of character, shaped over many years and offering an appealing combination of comfortable living space, interesting architectural details and a garden that forms a significant part of its appeal. Positioned within the peaceful village of Dolton, the property is being offered for sale for the first time in more than four decades.
The ground floor provides a series of distinct yet well connected living spaces. The sitting room is particularly welcoming, with exposed stonework forming a strong focal point around the fireplace and wood burning stove. Its proportions allow for comfortable everyday living while retaining the cosy atmosphere expected of an older village home. A separate dining room provides another generous reception space, again enhanced by exposed stone and a fireplace with gas stove.
The kitchen has been arranged with a practical range of fitted storage and work surfaces, with exposed ceiling timbers and areas of stonework reinforcing the character of the property. Windows overlooking the garden bring in good natural light and create an attractive connection with the outside space.
One of the most appealing additions is the sun room, positioned between the main accommodation and garden. With extensive glazing along one side, this creates a bright place to sit and enjoy the planting beyond throughout much of the year. It also provides an easy transition from the interior into the garden.
A ground floor shower room adds useful practicality to the layout.
Upstairs, four bedrooms provide comfortable and flexible accommodation. The rooms benefit from good natural light, with the larger bedrooms offering particularly useful proportions. The arrangement gives scope for family living, guest accommodation or the creation of a dedicated study or creative space according to individual needs.
Outside, the rear garden is an important feature of the property. Fully enclosed and private, it has been thoughtfully planted with an impressive variety of established flowers, shrubs and climbing plants. Raised beds, paved pathways and areas for pots give the garden a wonderfully productive and colourful feel, while a greenhouse adds further appeal for keen gardeners.
At the rear of the garden is a substantial older store building, offering useful additional storage and practical workspace.
A further notable feature lies a short distance away on Brook Road, where a detached outbuilding is included with the property. Currently used by the vendor as a workshop, this substantial building has electricity connected and provides valuable additional space for hobbies, storage or practical use.

On street parking is available.
