Description

From the front Venton Lodge gives the appearance of a single storey dwelling but as you enter through the attractive front door it opens into a well laid out and thoughtfully converted barn. It is believed to have originally been a cattle and feed barn but was converted approx 37 years ago into its current arrangement over two levels with the bedrooms and bathroom on the top floor and stairs leading down to the remaining but spacious accommodation. It offers excellent rural views to the rear and further garden views towards the Tors of Dartmoor in the distance.

Accommodation

From the front the entrance door opens into a well lit entrance hall with doors to the good sized double bedrooms, a modern bathroom offering a matching white suite comprising a bath with mixer shower, WC, and a wash basin vanity storage. The bedrooms all benefit from attractive rural views to the rear.

From the Entrance Hall stairs lead down into the excellent Living / Dining Room with an impressive stone feature fireplace housing a multi fuel burner and with double doors and windows overlooking the paved terraced to the rear. A door leads through to a good sized Kitchen/Breakfast Room with a range of modern units and an oil fired Aga, space for a dishwasher, and a store cupboard under the stairs. A further door leads through to the L-shaped Utility Room with additional counter units and space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. There is also a modern three-piece shower room.

Outside

To the front is an area of level walled garden which like all the gardens feels private and not overlooked despite the near neighbours in this small community. A gravelled parking area provides space for 2-3 vehicles in front of the double garage with light and power, an electric roller door and an inspection pit (accessed from the rear).

The main garden is split with lawned areas to the side providing outdoor seating from which to enjoy the rural views over the surrounding countryside bound by mature trees and a number of attractive plants and shrubs. This leads through the paved patio areas to the rear which enjoy raised and planted beds and are again private and secluded. There is ample scope to enhance these areas further.

Services

Mains electric and water (not metered). Private drainage via a shared septic tank. Central heating from oil fired boiler with additional multi fuel burner. Standard Broadband available up to 2mbps (Source Ofcom) but airwave providers such as Airband and EE are also available with faster speeds.
