An individual and interesting detached reverse living home with detached garage and ensuite studio/bedroom above, off road parking, private gardens and superb south facing countryside views, set in a timeless, semi rural village.
Situation - The property is situated in the popular village of Weare Giffard which lies close by the River Torridge conveniently between the towns of Bideford and Great Torrington. The village has a good range of amenities within walking distance including an active village hall, pub, church, playground, woodland walk and bus service. The nearby Tarka Trail affords superb walks and cycle rides that extend beyond Torrington and Barnstaple. There are beaches and coastal villages within approximately a 20 minutes drive including Instow village and Westward Ho!, which offers a range of amenities, restaurants and a three mile long beach. The nearby historic town of Great Torrington, surrounded by Torrington Commons with over 360 acres of lovely nature walks, has an excellent range of amenities including banks, butchers, bakeries, post office, various shops, pubs and restaurants and swimming pool. There is also a 9 hole golf course, primary and secondary school, supermarket, Dartington Crystal and RHS Rosemoor nearby. The port and market town of Bideford sits on the banks of the River Torridge and offers a wide range of amenities including various shops, banks, butchers, bakeries, pubs and restaurants, cafes, schooling for all ages (public and private) and 5 supermarkets. The regional centre of Barnstaple offers all the area's main business, shopping and commercial venues along with transport opportunities via the A361 link road to the motorway (M5) or via rail and the Tarka line.
Description - Scotts Garden is an individual and interesting detached reverse living home, which has been cleverly designed to maximise the wonderful south facing views of the surrounding countryside. The accommodation is deceptively spacious with four ground floor bedrooms and a fantastic bright and spacious open plan living/kitchen/dining area with contemporary wood burner and two pairs of double doors opening onto a large composite decking area, ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply relaxing and taking in the views. To the front is off road parking for 3 vehicles, detached garage with a brilliant studio/bedroom above with shower en-suite. To the rear is a terraced garden which has been thoughtfully finished to make the most of the views. This could be an ideal main residence, second home or successful holiday let.
Accommodation - Entrance hall gives access to all four bedrooms, three of which have built in wardrobes. The family bathroom is also located on this floor and has been recently updated and includes tiled flooring with underfloor heating, double shower enclosure, bespoke hand basin with touch mirror above, WC and built in shelving for linen etc.
The first floor is the real wow factor and certainly the hub of the home. A central staircase gives access to the wonderful open plan floor which has an abundance of natural light flooding in from the south facing double doors which also gives access to the large decked balcony, a fantastic sunny spot to enjoy the views. The current owners have tweaked the layout in more recent years and have created a more laid-back area with built in seating with storage underneath and a second area which is the more traditional living room area with contemporary log burner. The well-appointed and stylish kitchen comes fitted with a range of handle less units and large central island with quartz worktops throughout. Integrated appliances include AEG double oven, AEG induction hob with extractor above, dishwasher and freestanding American style fridge freezer. There is space for a large dining table and a very useful and 'hidden' utility cupboard has been created which includes worktop space, inset sink, plumbing for white goods and general storage. There is also a shower room with WC, sink and shower enclosure. Sliding double glazed doors provide access to the rear garden and terraced areas.
Outside - To the front is a block paved drive with space for three vehicles and single garage with a superb studio bedroom above which has its own en-suite shower room and benefits from fine views. A brilliant space for a studio, home office, music room, guest room etc
There is side access to the secluded rear garden which has been a 'labour of love' for the current owners who have worked with the sloped garden to create a wonderful tiered garden with an assortment of plants, shrubs and trees, large patio area at the bottom for seating leading to steps which run through the middle to more seating areas where the best views are on offer, all backing onto natural woodland.
Services - Mains water, electric and drainage. Gas central heating
