Located along Yelland Road this individual property is conveniently situated a mere 2 miles from the coastal village of Instow and within walking distance of Fremington village’s amenities. This is a great opportunity to acquire a unique and charming 3/4 bedroom detached house that boasts outstanding countryside and estuary views to the rear and would make the perfect family home or for the active retired looking to downsize, but still have room for hobbies, pottering in the garden and visitors.

This is the first time the property, also known as Tor Eaves, has been on the market in 23 years and has been a very much-loved home, that now awaits new owners to enjoy it is setting once more and put their own stamp on it.

The ground floor benefits from two open plan reception rooms, currently laid out as a reading/sitting room to the front and family lounge to the rear with French doors out to the patio and steps down to the garden. The cosy lounge would also work well as a dining space, taking in the views across the garden, or perhaps converted into an individual room such as a study. The spacious dining room is fantastic for hosting big meals as it can comfortably fit an 8-seater table and in recent years this sizeable ground floor room has been used as a bedroom, with space for a king-size bed and furniture. The kitchen is in need of updating and comprises wall and floor units, space for a fridge freezer, washing machine, integrated oven, hobs and dishwasher. There is also space for a breakfast table and chairs perfect for that morning coffee and toast. Also on the ground floor is a shower room comprising toilet, basin and enclosed shower cubicle as well as an understairs storage cupboard. The ground floor dining room/bedroom together with two reception rooms and shower room would work perfectly for a dependant relative or young adult needing their own private space.

On the first floor, the principle king-size bedroom stretches the length of the property with windows and storage cupboards at both ends as well as a storage alcove and working sink unit. Bedroom 2 looks out over the garden with space for a single/small double bed and furniture. Bedroom 3 is located to the front with eaves storage and space for a single bed and chest of drawers, which could also be used as an office or nursery. The bathroom is in need of modernisation comprising bath with shower over, sink with wooden cabinet, toilet and low head heights. At the end of the landing is a bay window making for an adorable nook/chill area, small desk space or perhaps that statement plant or piece of furniture that needs showing off that you have had for years.

OUTSIDE

There is parking for 3-4 vehicles to the front and side with two large wooden gates for added security and privacy, separating the driveway to the garden if required with children and pets. The garden is located to the rear, accessed from the sitting room or kitchen, has a raised patio and steps down to the flat lawn bordered by mature trees and shrubs. A truly delightful garden that looks out across fields to the estuary in the distance with superb evening sunsets.
