Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
The dwelling itself is light and airy, with large windows taking in views of the rolling countryside, while the décor is clean and neutral throughout. There is a splendid open-plan dining area and kitchen, with French doors opening onto the garden, while the kitchen has wooden worktops, plenty of storage and integrated appliances. The utility/boot room provides further storage space.
The ground floor has one double bedroom en suite, while on the upper level (in the eves) there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms (one currently used as a 22ft study) and a family bathroom including a separate built in shower as well as a bath. The bedrooms have splendid full height windows on the arched end walls, with magnificent and far-reaching views.
The property is set in 5.47 acres, with a fully developed wholesale commercial nursery. There is plenty of parking space on a gravel driveway at the front of the dwelling, while the nursery site also affords access and parking for commercial vehicles. The site extends beyond the house, with the garden including sunny paved terracing and rolling lawns and meadows, which lead down towards a private reservoir, covering approximately half an acre, with an array of wildlife. The reservoir also has a water extraction licence, to supply the nursery if required.
The property is subject to an agricultural tie, which requires an agricultural or horticulture occupancy that would be satisfied by purchasing the nursery (being sold as a going concern). The current wholesale plant nursery successfully supplies a variety of ornamental plants to clients across Devon and Cornwall, including various herb and vegetable plants, as well as Christmas trees. The site features a workshop, with 3-phase power supply, toilets and water supply, an open-fronted barn (currently used a tractor shed), seven polytunnels and three glasshouses with automated irrigation systems. There is an on-site static unit with planning permission for use as an office storage.
The picturesque village of Slapton, sitting a short way inland from the three mile-long beach at Slapton Sands, has a bustling community with day to-day amenities including a village shop, two public houses and a church. The National Nature Reserve at Slapton Ley, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, is located on the edge of the village and is the largest freshwater lake in the south west of England. The South West coast path is easily accessible and takes in some of the most spectacular scenery the region has to offer. Kingsbridge, the principal market town in the South Hams, offers a good range of day-today facilities including independent and High Street shopping, South Hams minor injuries unit and doctors’ and dentist surgeries together with two major supermarkets, a cinema, leisure centre, library and numerous public houses and restaurants.The head of the estuary offers boat moorings, quays and slipways while the general area offers magnificent sandy beaches and some fabulous coastal and countryside walks. The popular sailing towns of Dartmouth and Salcombe are within easy reach, as are 18- hole golf courses at Bigbury and Thurlestone. Further away but still local are Dartmoor National Park, Totnes, Exeter and Plymouth.
The property enjoys excellent communication links: Totnes train station offers regular trains to Paddington in less than 3 hours, the nearby A38 Devon Expressway gives access to major towns and to the national motorway network and Exeter Airport offers a growing number of national and international flights, including daily flights to London City Airport. The area benefits from a good selection of state schooling including Stokenham Area Primary School (rated Outstanding by Ofsted), Dartmouth Academy and Kingsbridge Academy together with some noteworthy independent schools including Plymouth College, King’s and Totnes Progressive.
