Altrees House is a spacious, well-proportioned four-bedroom detached home set in almost a third of an acre within the semi-rural Stokelake development. Most accommodation is on the ground floor, including a principal en suite bedroom, a large dual-aspect living room with high ceiling and patio access, and a generous open-plan kitchen/dining room. The house benefits from a detached double garage, parking for up to eight cars and use of extensive communal lawns, woodland and a tennis court.
The property sits in a quiet countryside setting with easy access to Chudleigh, Bovey Tracey and the A38 for commuting to Exeter, Torbay or Plymouth. Practical features include a 4kW owned solar PV system (FIT income currently around £850pa until 2032), mains gas central heating and double glazing installed post-2002. The garden includes a wide paved terrace and lawned areas with attractive green outlooks.
Notable considerations: the house was constructed in the late 1960s–1970s and the cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation; some fabric or energy-efficiency upgrades may be advisable. Drainage is via a private shared sewage treatment plant, which carries shared maintenance responsibilities and costs. Broadband is average for the area and council tax is in band F (described as expensive).
This is a good option for family buyers seeking roomy ground-floor living and outdoor space in a peaceful rural setting, or for purchasers looking for a property with scope to modernise energy performance and add value. The combination of large plot, versatile layout and resident communal grounds gives lifestyle appeal alongside sensible practical considerations.
