Description

DESCRIPTION ** Completed in 2002 Teigncroft is an attractive, relatively modern detached property being "tucked away" with a long driveway approach and yet being set close to the heart of this picturesque Teign estuary village. Externally attractive, the house has rendered elevations set beneath a tiled roof with feature timberwork and a mature climbing wisteria. The accommodation is appealing and spacious throughout. A reception hall opens to the large dual aspect sitting room, which opens to a spacious dining room that in turn opens to a large hardwood-framed conservatory. Also to the ground floor is the appealing farmhouse-style kitchen and the useful utility room with a cloakroom/WC leading off. There is also a ground floor bedroom, served by a modern ground-floor shower room, creating the possibility of single-level living if required and there is a study on the ground floor too. To the first floor the principal bedroom suite is highly appealing with French doors opening to a balcony, with this and many of the other rooms enjoying fantastic views across the valley to the countryside on the fringes of the village. The principal bedroom also has a good range of built-in bedroom furniture. Bedroom two is another attractive room with a door opening to the terrace at the rear, providing a good sense of inside/outside living and with this room having an en-suite shower room. There are two further well-proportioned bedrooms to the upper floor, as well as the modern family bathroom. Teigncroft has particularly lovely mature gardens and grounds with a clever planting plan over the years, which now creates a profusion of variety and colour. The gardens are primarily set out on two levels with a sweeping lawn at the front and then raised terraces adjoin something of a "nature garden" at the rear, which backs onto an open meadow. The sweeping private driveway provides extensive parking and Teigncroft also has a substantial double garage with an electric roll up door with a useful games room/studio above, providing the possibility of ancillary accommodation if required. 

LOCATION Teigncroft is set in an appealing elevated position close to the heart of ever-popular Combeinteignhead. This popular Teign Estuary village has a good sense of community with a village hall, the popular Wild Goose public house and the Coombe Cellars, a public house and eatery in a superb waterside setting where there is also a dingy sailing club, as well as being a popular spot for windsurfing and water skiing etc. The slightly larger village of Stokeinteignhead lies around a mile away and has a well-regarding primary school a community shop and a farm shop nearby. The position offers good access to Newton Abbot, which lies around three miles away with the Penn Inn roundabout offering immediate access to the South Devon highway and a fast link to Exeter and the M5 via the A380. The popular estuary village of Shaldon is around 2 miles away, a beautiful village with a sandy beach, various independent shops and cafes, a good selection of public houses and restaurants and a charming foot passenger ferry across to the seaside town of Teignmouth. The larger seaside town of Teignmouth is around three miles away and has a lovely promenade, a supermarket and a range of education options including Trinity School, offering both private primary and secondary education.
