Springfield Lodge occupies a secluded plot, perfect for those wishing to shut the gate and enjoy the peace and quiet of a convenient East Devon village and the surrounding countryside. The accommodation has been orientated to make the very most of the view to the rear, over adjoining farm land, and the sunshine, with the morning sun in the rear garden and in the front garden in the afternoon and evening.

The contemporary design of the house offers very light and spacious accommodation with a welcoming atmosphere, notably in the large, open plan living room, with a high, mono pitch ceiling and two sets of bifold doors opening out to the tiled rear garden, ideal for entertaining and enjoying the view. To one side of this room, a stylish kitchen has been fitted in contrasting shades of grey with quartz work surfaces, including a large island unit with a Bosch ceramic hob and discrete, extractor vent, as well as a dining bar for three people. There is plenty of cupboard and drawer storage and other high quality, integral appliances including a Bosch double oven and microwave, and a full height fridge/freezer and dishwasher, both Hoover. The kitchen has light floor tiles, which give way to oak flooring in the sitting and dining areas, where there is ample space for a large dining table and chairs, with a large picture window adjoining, providing a pleasant evening light from the west.

The oak flooring extends throughout the ground floor hallway with carpet in the respective downstairs bedrooms and on the stairs to the first floor.

All of the bedrooms have built in wardrobes with sliding oak doors, and of the three downstairs bedrooms, Bedroom 2 has a luxurious en suite shower room, ideal for guests or use in later life. Bedroom 3 is currently used as a study and sitting room and in the corner has a large airing cupboard, housing the electric boiler and the controls for the solar heating system, fuelled by an array of photo voltaic or PV panels on the roof. Bedroom 4 is a slightly smaller room, used as an office and hobbies room, with a door to outside. From the hallway, there is also the main bathroom, fully tiled and fitted with a very smart white suite including a large sink and vanity counter, WC, and a large bath, with shower over and glass splash screen.

The principal bedroom lies upstairs and is an impressive room with plenty of space and double doors leading out to the tiled balcony, with a stainless steel and glazed balustrade, enjoying an elevated view over the countryside. The first-floor suite also has a luxurious shower room, fully tiled with a large shower cubicle and attractive white suite.

Outside, on approach to Springfield Lodge, the brick paved drive, with extra parking to one side, leads through secure, electrically operated gates to the parking area, workshop/store, and front garden, with outside water taps and electric points.
