As John Keats once wrote, ’A thing of beauty
is a joy forever’.
This very aptly describes ‘Woodpeckers’, a
delightful and unique,
detached home, situated in the small village of
Teigngrace.
Standing in approximately a third of an acre,
the garden at Woodpeckers offers a fantastic variety of birdlife (45 species at
the last count); indeed it is a bird lover’s paradise! The current owners have
enjoyed many hours of feeding the birds, including tamed Pheasants from hand as
well as watching the birds, particularly the Great Spotted and Green
Woodpeckers, from which the property derives its name.
Peace, tranquility, seclusion and privacy are
in abundance at Woodpeckers and yet the property has good access to the
A38/A380 and the market towns of Newton Abbot, Ashburton and Chudleigh as well
as Bovey Tracey, the gateway to Dartmoor.
A special feature of the garden is the recently
erected summerhouse. There is
also a large garden shed and greenhouse. The
garden is surrounded by many species of mature trees, which complement each
other and offer complete privacy.
Inside, the house, which has been much improved
by the present owners,
offers very spacious accommodation. This
includes a large, double aspect, fitted kitchen with a 6 ring Britannia range
and built in dishwasher; a Utility room offering space for a washing machine, tumble
drier and fridge freezer; a lovely light and airy double aspect lounge with a
patio door leading to the main garden; a loft conversion with master bedroom
and en-suite and plenty of eaves storage; 3 further good sized bedrooms, (one
with a patio door leading to a vegetable garden); a modern bathroom; a
study (or bedroom 5) with a patio door leading to a covered patio and a
very spacious and welcoming hallway.
Woodpeckers, has full UPVC, quality, double-glazing,
fascia and guttering. Each window and door is protected by a comprehensive
alarm system. The home is warm and comfortable, enjoying the benefits of cavity
wall insulation. There is a garage and adjacent carport offering plenty of
storage.
The driveway affords ample parking for up to 5
cars.
This is a lovely family home, in which to relax
and enjoy the full benefits of rural life.
There are easy, accessible walks on the level, to either the River Teign,
where you can catch a glimpse of the Sand Martins and Kingfishers or Stover
Country Park where you can see other wildlife.
‘Woodpeckers’ is an impressive home in idyllic
surroundings and Complete Estate Agents highly recommends viewing!
So, that's it..we're up for sale!
It's probably been one of the hardest decisions we've had to make
in a long time!
That said, we know that it's the right one
and if we can sell , we'll be off to pastures new.
If we get a buyer, then whoever takes over at Woodpeckers
will be most fortunate!
You can't put a price on the beauty that is a
permanent feature here
and we've certainly had 11 years of pleasure.
