4 bedroom detached house for sale

Set in the heart of Yealmpton, this handsome 1930s detached house sits in an elevated, southerly facing position soaking up countryside and woodland views. Situated in a central village location, a short walk to village amenities as well as being set within a generous plot, about a third of an acre, wrapped in mature planting for year-round interest.



The façade has real presence: balanced, individual and immediately inviting. Steps lead up from the parking area to the porch into a light-filled hall where windows draw sunshine across the wooden floors. The sitting room is a calm, elegant space anchored by a modern

fireplace with a gas fire for winter evenings. French doors open directly to a sheltered deck and rockery, so gatherings naturally spill outside through the warmer months.



Everyday life centres around the kitchen and dining space, dual aspect, bright and practical with a built-in double oven and gas hob. It connects neatly to a utility room and out to the garden, keeping the realities of coastal and countryside living beautifully organised. If

you're dreaming of a larger culinary space, there's clear scope to extend the kitchen, subject to planning permission, the orientation and outlook would reward the investment. A second reception room works well as a study, snug or playroom, again with French doors to the

deck for that easy indoor-outdoor rhythm. A cloakroom and useful under-stairs storage complete the ground floor.



Upstairs, a bright landing is framed by a large south-facing picture window, drawing light in and opening up beautiful elevated views. Four double bedrooms are set off this space: the principal bedroom feels calm and considered with its own ensuite shower room; two rooms

face south towards the wooded hills; the others look over the garden and catch the softer light. Storage is well planned, with a generous airing cupboard and a fully insulated, boarded loft with pull-down ladder.



The house takes centre stage, handsome, light-filled and perfectly positioned within its plot to take full advantage of the aspect. Around a third of an acre of sloping gardens wrap around the house, creating sunny layers of lawn, planting and seating areas with natural vantage points. The rise has further scope for more terracing, potential for creating a levelled lawned area, a kitchen garden or creating a studio area, while enjoying southerly views across the village to the woodland and countryside beyond. To the front, a garage and private parking for two to three cars sit discreetly by the house.



In short, this is an individual village home with real curb appeal, a privileged southerly aspect and space to grow, practical enough for everyday life, yet quietly magical when the sun drops onto the deck and the countryside turns gold.
