The Property:
Broad Reach sits within a generous plot with views to the surrounding countryside. It offers a light, well proportioned family home, in both location and space, along with potential for an annexe, home office or garden studio, making it an ideal proposition for multi generational living, subject to planning consents. Situated within the South Devon National Landscape Area and close to the sea, it provides for both coastal and rural living, with excellent community services and schools close by.
The porch opens into a welcoming hallway with a useful coat cupboard. To the right is the bright and generously proportioned sitting room, a wonderfully flexible space with plenty of scope to create distinct areas for relaxing, entertaining or working from home. A recently installed wood-burning stove provides a lovely focal point.
Two of the four bedrooms are situated on the ground floor. Bedroom two is a good-sized double with a particularly pleasant outlook over the rear garden, while bedroom four is currently used as a dressing room but would work equally well as a single bedroom, home office or study. There is also a ground-floor shower room with enclosed shower, WC and wash basin.
The kitchen/dining room is a generous and practical family space with tiled flooring and plenty of storage. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of units and includes an eye-level oven, electric hob, integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher, with the sink positioned beneath a window overlooking the garden. There is also a useful additional storage cupboard and the oil-fired boiler is housed here.
From the kitchen, there is access to an exceptionally useful and spacious utility and boot room. With space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, additional units and plenty of room for coats, boots and everyday family paraphernalia, it makes an ideal entrance after muddy walks or trips out with the dog. There are doors directly to both the driveway and rear garden, as well as internal access into the garage. The garage provides further parking or storage.
A large, south facing garden room opens up from the dining area, making this a useful L-shaped, open plan family space, perfect for multi tasking. Overlooking the garden, it is a lovely place to sit and enjoy the afternoon and evening sun, including sunsets later in the day.
Upstairs are two further double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is positioned to the front and is another light and spacious room benefitting from built-in cupboards and useful eaves storage. Bedroom three overlooks the rear garden and enjoys lovely views beyond along with sea glimpses and also has built-in storage and additional eaves space.
The family bathroom is also on this floor and is fitted with a large shower, WC and wash basin, together with a heated towel rail and window.
Outside, the rear garden is a real feature of the property. South-facing, warm and notably private, it offers a lovely space for both adults and children to enjoy. A patio immediately outside the house provides space for outdoor seating and entertaining, opening onto a good-sized lawn surrounded by shrubs and mature planting.
The established garden has plenty of character, with little tucked-away areas and hidden corners amongst the planting that are perfect for hide-and-seek, while also creating different spots to sit and enjoy the garden. Despite its family-friendly feel, the mature boundaries give the whole garden a pleasing sense of privacy.
Towards the bottom is an area currently used for growing fruit and vegetables, providing an almost allotment-style space for keen gardeners. There is also access to the garden from the front of the property through a gateway.
An outside hot and cold water supply is another particularly handy touch — ideal for washing muddy boots, bikes or even showering the dog after a walk.
At the front is another nice generous lawned garden and driveway parking with the potential to add in more parking if required and with plenty of space for boat storage if required.
Situated in a popular village, the primary school is less than 5 minutes walk away and the bus to Kingsbridge Community College comes through the village making this a family-friendly location and property.
