Full Details DESCRIPTIONThis well presented detached family home offers flexible and light filled accommodation throughout and enjoys far reaching rural views. Nestled within the small hamlet of Higher Sigford on the South Eastern edge of Dartmoor, Foxgloves is perfectly situated for ease of access to both stunning walking and riding, as well as to the amenities of the nearby towns and villages and the A38 Devon Expressway. The property has been much improved by the current owners with the addition of wall, floor and loft insulation, new triple glazed windows throughout, new double glazed doors and the installation of solar panels, to name just a few.

Below the annexe is a large and well equipped garage which now provides useful storage space and a work from home option. Delightful gardens surround the property and include a fabulous organic kitchen garden and chicken run. A well fenced paddock sits behind the house and, together with two timber stables, provides the ideal space for the family horse or ponies.

Steps lead up to the front door which opens into a spacious hallway with timber flooring and built in storage cupboards. Off the hallway is the double aspect kitchen/dining room which enjoys far reaching views to the front and a view over the gardens and paddock to the rear. The country style kitchen is comprehensively fitted with a range of base and wall units with inset sink unit, Rangemaster electric oven and space and plumbing for a dishwasher. From the hall, a door leads through to a useful utility/boot room with plumbing for a washing machine, a door to the rear garden and a further door leading into the family bathroom. The spacious living room benefits from sliding patio doors to the front, taking full advantage of the scenic far reaching views over South Devon. A wood burner to one end provides a warming focal point to the room and doors lead off to the three bedrooms.ANNEXEThe annexe is a huge benefit to this property and is accessed via steps leading from the driveway to its own front door.
