Solar panels fitted; mains gas central heating present

High flood risk (river to rear) though no floods reported in 25 years
Main house freehold; garage/workshop leasehold under shared ownership
Stone walls likely uninsulated — insulation upgrade recommended
Set on a quiet village lane near Totnes, this four-bedroom detached house offers flexible family living across two floors with good-sized reception rooms and a sunroom that opens onto an enclosed rear garden. The converted garage provides a useful office, granny-flat or playroom with its own utility, walk-in shower and WC. Off-street parking for three cars plus two additional spaces outside the garage adds everyday practicality for multi-car households.
The property has genuine potential for improvement: roof-mounted solar panels and mains gas central heating are already in place, but the home would benefit from a new kitchen, redecoration and general modernisation. The granite or whinstone walls are characteristic and solid, although insulation appears absent and upgrading could improve comfort and energy efficiency. White goods in the kitchen and garage are included.
Buyers should note a material drawback: the rear boundary is the river (managed by a dam), and the listing records a high flood risk despite no flooding in the past 25 years. The detached garage/ workshop is leasehold under a shared-ownership arrangement; the managing agency currently insures the garage and no payment is due. Council Tax Band E is above average for the area.
This home will suit growing families or buyers seeking renovation opportunity in a well-regarded village with good schools, countryside walks and rail links from Totnes. With some investment this property could deliver strong practical space, a self-contained annexe area and long-term value in a popular rural setting.
