4 Bedroom Detached House

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION

Dartmoor Cottage is a beautifully presented detached family home, situated on the highly regarded Eastella Road in the heart of Yelverton, within easy walking distance of the village’s excellent range of amenities. Originally constructed in the 1930s and thoughtfully extended over the years, the property has been comprehensively renovated to an exceptional standard, successfully combining period charm with contemporary family living. Offered for sale with no onward chain, Dartmoor Cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and impeccably presented home in one of Yelverton’s most sought-after residential locations.

Approached via a gated entrance, the property enjoys an impressive block-paved driveway providing ample parking for numerous vehicles, together with access to the double garage. A 7kW Pod Point electric vehicle charging point is conveniently positioned to the side of the garage. The gardens wrap around the property and immediately create a sense of privacy and seclusion, with established boundaries, mature trees, attractive shrubs and extensive areas of lawn.

A welcoming entrance porch leads into the reception hall, setting the tone for the spacious and versatile accommodation found throughout the home. Undoubtedly the heart of the property is the outstanding open-plan kitchen, living and dining room, a superb family space designed for contemporary living and entertaining. The bespoke shaker-style kitchen is centred around a substantial island incorporating the hob and is complemented by a premium Zip tap providing instant filtered boiling and chilled water. The dining area benefits from patio doors on two elevations, opening onto separate outdoor seating terraces, while a relaxed sitting area completes the room, creating a sociable and highly functional environment. Flooded with natural light from an abundance of glazing and an impressive lantern rooflight, the space feels both expansive and inviting, further enhanced by its high-quality fixtures and fittings.

Leading from the kitchen is a practical utility room, which in turn provides access to a versatile office/games room. This flexible space is also accessible from the principal sitting room and lends itself to a variety of uses, including a home office, playroom, hobby room or additional reception space.

The remaining ground floor accommodation comprises two elegant reception rooms, both rich in character and generous in proportion. The sitting room features a central wood-burning stove and attractive bay window, while the formal dining room also enjoys a wood-burning stove together with charming period detailing. A cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor.

The first floor continues to impress with beautifully presented bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom suite enjoys a dual-aspect outlook and incorporates a dedicated dressing area with fitted wardrobes and storage, leading through to a stylish en-suite shower room with walk-in shower. Bedrooms Two and Three are both excellent-sized double bedrooms, benefitting from dual and triple-aspect windows respectively, while Bedroom Four provides an ideal single bedroom, nursery or study. The family bathroom is superbly appointed, featuring both a separate bath and walk-in shower.

Externally, the gardens are a particular feature of Dartmoor Cottage. Extensive lawned gardens extend alongside the driveway at the front of the property, framed by mature planting and established boundaries which provide an excellent degree of privacy. The gardens continue around the home, creating an attractive setting with a wonderful sense of space and seclusion. To the rear, generous seating and entertaining terraces adjoin the house, providing ideal areas for outdoor dining, relaxation and socialising whilst enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Complementing the gardens is a substantial double garage and useful outbuilding, further enhancing the practicality of this exceptional family home. Further benefits include double glazing throughout, underfloor heating to the kitchen, utility room and cloakroom/WC, together with central heating via radiators serving the remainder of the property.

Combining beautifully balanced family accommodation, high-quality finishes, mature private gardens and a highly convenient village location, Dartmoor Cottage is an outstanding home offered to the market with the added advantage of no onward chain.
