Description
From the front Venton Lodge gives the appearance of a single storey dwelling but as you enter through the attractive front door it opens into a well laid out and thoughtfully converted barn. It is believed to have originally been a cattle and feed barn but was converted approx 37 years ago into its current arrangement over two levels with the bedrooms and bathroom on the top floor and stairs leading down to the remaining but spacious accommodation. It offers excellent rural views to the rear and further garden views towards the Tors of Dartmoor in the distance.

A further door leads through to the L-shaped Utility Room with additional counter units and space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. There is also a modern three-piece shower room.

To the front is an area of level walled garden which like all the gardens feels private and not overlooked despite the near neighbours in this small community.
