A fantastic 4 bedroom detached family home in a quiet cul-de-sac in Tuckenhay near the Harbourne River, a tributary of the River Dart. EPC Band: D

SITUATION

18 Bow Creek is situated within the charming and popular village of Tuckenhay and is situated close to the River Harbourne and Bow Creek. The creek is tidal but navigable by small boats for about 3 hours either side of the high tide. The creek is a tributary of the River Dart estuary, Dartmouth being some 6 miles distant and Totnes with all its facilities about 4 miles. Tuckenhay is conveniently located for Totnes town, the commercial centre for the South Hams.

DESCRIPTION

The very well presented house sits at the head of a peaceful cul-de-sac on the edge of the village of Tuckenhay. The house is thought to have been built in the late 1970s/early 1980s and benefits from a large block brick paved private driveway with an area of garden to the front and a large garden at the rear.

The vendors have refurbished and improved the house over their eight years of ownership, with completely remodelling the kitchen area to make a fantastic bright and spacious room.

ACCOMMODATION

From the private driveway, which provides parking for at least three vehicles, there is a flight of steps up to the front entrance porch, with space for boots and hanging coats, with a door into the remodelled kitchen/breakfast room. This room has a Karndean luxury vinyl tiled floor with a bespoke range of kitchen units designed and built by Doug Farleigh, with quartz worktops and an oak breakfast bar.

The kitchen is a very bright and spacious room with a large window overlooking the private rear patio with a rear access door. The kitchen has soft close pan drawers and Neff integrated appliances, including a full size dishwasher and undercounter integrated Neff freezer, Neff induction hob with Franke extractor above, vented to outside. There is a Neff integrated fan assisted oven as well as a Neff microwave oven, with useful vacuum storage cupboard to the side and a full sized integrated Neff refrigerator.

There is a further range of built-in kitchen units designed to look like a dresser and a useful shoe storage unit with oak top, creating a useful window seat overlooking the front. Leading off the kitchen, near the rear door, is a ground floor WC with a fitted integrated AEG washing machine/tumble drier.

From the kitchen a pair of oak and glazed doors lead through to the impressive sitting room with exposed ceiling timbers, double glazed bay window and further window to the front and a pair of patio doors to outside. This room has a large inglenook style fireplace with a slate hearth and a fully lined wood burning stove.

From the kitchen a glazed and oak door leads to the staircase, which rises to the landing, where there are four bedrooms. The main bedroom (double) enjoys a view over the front drive and across to the hills on the other side of the valley, but also a side window over the adjoining footpath/lane. This bedroom has a single built-in wardrobe and door to an en-suite bathroom with a Mira Sport shower attachment over. The bathroom has a large double door walk-in wardrobe and adjoining door to an airing cupboard.

Bedrooms 2 and 3 (both double rooms) enjoy views to the front and to the hills opposite. Bedroom 4 is currently used as a study with a large window overlooking the garden at the rear. Opposite is the shower room with a Mira Sport electric shower unit. There is a very useful storage cupboard in between bedroom 4 and the shower room.

Off the landing is the loft hatch with a retractable flight of steps, which provides access to the boarded and insulated roof space, with a number of Velux windows with storage in the eaves. Whilst Building Regulations don t exist for this to be used as accommodation, the vendors use this as a second office.

OUTSIDE

The property enjoys a lawned area to the side of the entrance drive to the front of the property, with a laid beech hedge as its boundary. There is a single garage with an up and over door for storage and to the side a path leading to the rear patio, passing the outside garden tap. The brick block paved drive and pathway leads past the other side of the house, past a useful range of log stores and the oil tank.

There is a step up onto the large stone paved patio which faces southeast and has an attractive slate faced retaining wall with a timber bench and a timber retaining wall above.

There are a number of sleeper steps leading up to the upper gravelled level area of the garden, where there is a fishpond and a low stone wall with flowerbeds above. The garden continues up a further range of steps to the lawned areas and at the highest end there is a timber garden summerhouse, which needs replacement, but from here there are stunning views back over the property and to the hills beyond.

SERVICES
