Description

The Property:

The front door opens directly into a stunning open-plan living space where the kitchen, dining and sitting areas flow effortlessly together beneath a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. Natural light pours in through Velux windows, while exposed stonework and a charming wood-burning stove create a warm and inviting atmosphere. A Juliette balcony frames the breathtaking rural outlook, and wood flooring runs throughout the living area. The kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary units, incorporating an induction range cooker with space for a fridge freezer and dishwasher. Electric underfloor heating provides comfort throughout the first floor, and there is a practical area by the entrance for coats and shoes.

A characterful wooden staircase leads down to the ground floor, where a generous utility room provides excellent storage along with space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. The electric boiler is neatly concealed within a cupboard, and a door leads directly outside, making it ideal after country walks. The welcoming hallway also benefits from large double doors opening onto the garden, creating a wonderful connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

The principal bedroom is full of charm, featuring exposed beams and a stylish sliding door opening into the en suite shower room, fitted with an electric shower, WC and wash hand basin.

The second bedroom is an impressive double, enjoying three windows that flood the room with natural light.

The family bathroom is beautifully appointed and particularly spacious, boasting a large walk-in shower, freestanding bath, WC and contemporary wash hand basin with an oversized mirror, all complemented by attractive tiled flooring.

Outside, the property is equally impressive, offering a choice of outdoor spaces to enjoy throughout the day. To the front is a patio with an adjoining lawn, while to the rear there is an enclosed courtyard together with a separate lawned garden featuring a substantial timber shed. Parking is generous, with a private driveway providing space for two vehicles at the front and additional parking available within the rear courtyard.

Converted in 2019 to an excellent standard, the property has been thoughtfully designed with reverse-level accommodation to make the most of the spectacular far-reaching countryside views. Surrounded by rolling countryside, the views from The Old Parlour are simply exceptional, creating a wonderful sense of peace and privacy. Combining modern comforts with original character features in a highly sought-after rural location, this is a truly special home that offers country living without sacrificing convenience.

The Location:

Higher Hatch is located just outside of Loddiswell and close to the village of Churchstow and the town of Kingsbridge. Loddiswell is a lovely village with a real community feel. It has a village shop and post office, church and a very popular primary school. You can also find the well-known garden centre, Avon Mill, just down the hill along with popular café and farm shops, Aune Valley Farm Shop and the Chilli Farm within close proximity. The location is ideal for commuters as it is quick drive to the A38 in order to reach Exeter and Plymouth.
