If you’ve been dreaming of a spacious family home with a self-contained annexe, stunning views of Dartmoor, and excellent access to the A30, Merrivale might be just what you’re looking for. This beautifully renovated home combines modern comforts with the charm of its countryside setting.

Step through the double French doors into a light-filled conservatory, the perfect spot to soak in the panoramic views of Dartmoor. Flowing naturally into the heart of the home, the contemporary kitchen and breakfast area offers a welcoming space for family meals. It features integrated appliances, plentiful storage, and an open view into the dining area, creating a seamless blend of style and practicality.

The ground floor provides thoughtful versatility. A utility room, which also serves as a cloakroom, adds convenience, while the bright hallway offers the potential for a quiet office nook. The cozy sitting room, complete with a wood burner, invites you to unwind on cooler evenings. Two additional rooms on this level, currently used as a bedroom and a formal dining room, open up possibilities for adapting the space to suit your needs. The dining room also connects effortlessly to the annexe.

Upstairs, the first floor reveals three generously sized bedrooms, all thoughtfully laid out to maximize views of the surrounding countryside and Dartmoor. Each room offers flexibility for furniture placement, while the updated family bathroom features a luxurious bath and a walk-in shower, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day.

The annexe is a private retreat, with its own entrances ensuring independence. It boasts a cozy sitting room with beautiful Moor views, a double bedroom, a modern kitchen/breakfast room with fitted appliances, and a well-appointed bathroom with a separate shower. It’s an ideal space for extended family, guests, or even a rental opportunity.

Outside, a pair of gates open to a spacious parking area, complemented by a single garage with an adjoining store. The garden, mainly level and lawned, is bordered by a traditional Devon bank, offering a peaceful haven for relaxation or play. With room for personal touches, it currently features a greenhouse and a children’s climbing frame.

Nestled in the heart of the Devon countryside, Drewsteignton is a charming and peaceful village, surrounded by the stunning beauty of Dartmoor National Park. With its traditional stone cottages and picturesque setting, the village offers a real sense of community and a slower pace of life, making it an ideal spot for those seeking a rural retreat.

Conveniently located, Drewsteignton enjoys easy access to both the A30 and A38, providing excellent road links to Exeter and beyond. The nearby town of Okehampton (approximately 9 miles away) offers a wider range of local shops, services, and amenities, while the hamlet of Whiddon Down, just 1.5 miles away, provides direct access to the A30 dual carriageway.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the surrounding area offers a wealth of opportunities for walking, cycling, and horse riding across Dartmoor’s rugged landscapes, with breathtaking views and endless natural beauty to explore. Drewsteignton is a perfect base for those wanting to embrace village life while staying connected to nearby towns and transport links.
