“A tardis-like, stone built, 2,246 sq ft property split over 3 floors. An ideal family home with full use of the beautiful grounds, including the tennis court of Fallapit Barns on Fallapit Estate. Easy access to Kingsbridge and Totnes.”
Shire is an enchanting, deceptively large home, set over three floors You enter the house at first floor level into a clean, open plan living area, that is sectioned into distinct zones. Oak flooring runs throughout this property creating a warm vibe that is well set off by the freshly painted walls
On one side you have the kitchen, with stylish built in cabinets and room for a family sized table, beautifully lit by dual aspect windows. On the other you have a generous living room with a fabulous stove as its focal point and flooded with natural light from triple aspect windows
A generous utility room divides the space, it contains a WC, washing machine, airing cupboard and plenty of space to store boots and coats Well thought through details elevate the design, such as the built-in window seats, picture windows, bespoke doors and iron door furniture. It is enhanced by its ecological credentials, solar panels with battery, Palazzeti Pellet boiler providing under floor heating and hot water and an electric car charger.
For families the two different floors with bedrooms, provide great privacy. Upstairs currently has two double bedrooms, the principal one has the benefit of containing a dressing room Beautiful, partially exposed oak beams are a characterful touch. A large family bathroom that is simple and white is shared by these rooms. At the top of the stairs is a very thoughtful well-designed landing that currently is used as an office, an inspiring space to sit and work
