Chasty, Holsworthy, EX22

This elegant home retains many period features mixed with modern day comforts.

The original entrance door, protected by a pillared storm porch with a slate floor, has an English rose and thistle glass inset which opens up to a welcoming entrance hallway with Victorian tiled floor.

Two dual aspect main reception rooms are located off the hallway, both with working fireplaces and enough space for large furniture.

There is a superb kitchen/dining/family room which was an architecturally designed extension incorporating a large ornate roof lantern bringing in a huge amount of natural light in addition to the two sets of patio doors which lead out to the main gardens. A great room to entertain and socialise.

There are also sizeable utility and boot rooms both with access to the rear patio. Another reception room, currently used as a 6th bedroom, ideal for a dependant relative and only a few steps away from a shower room.

The split galleried landing provides access to all the 5 bedrooms, which all enjoy garden or countryside views. One has an en-suite shower room and there is a family bathroom. A further door off the landing leads to a useful apple loft/under eaves storage.

The large, fully enclosed gardens are well tended with an extensive area of lawn to the rear, plus a side patio, perfect for al-fresco dining.

Within the lower side of the garden is a small cob barn, split into sections, ideal for logs and storage of gardening equipment.

There is a substantial concrete driveway providing enough parking for numerous types of vehicles, which leads to an open fronted, oak framed double garage with an attached workshop to the rear.

In addition, there are two well enclosed paddocks, totalling approximately 2 acres which can be accessed from the driveway and the rear garden.

Overall a perfect home for those looking for a sizeable family home and an outdoor lifestyle, such as grazing and rearing of animals or growing your own produce. Currently a local farmer runs sheep in the paddocks, taking responsibility for maintenance of the land.

Sellers Insight:

‘Chasty has been a great base for hiking and other outdoor activities, due to its location between Dartmoor and the North Cornish coast. We enjoy the rural location, with its far-reaching views, but also appreciate the easy access to amenities such as the local shops, Waitrose and the leisure centre in Holsworthy. The well-proportioned rooms and ample storage have been ideal for entertaining visiting family and friends.’
