With far-reaching views towards Dartmoor and the town just a short walk away, this elevated Victorian home offers four bedrooms, flexible living space, mature gardens and a self-contained annexe as well as plenty of parking and a double garage — a rare combination of space, outlook and family versatility. Freehold. All mains services connected. Council Tax Band E - main house.

SUMMARY What sets this home apart is the way it brings together space, setting and versatility. The main house, gardens and outlook work in quiet harmony, creating a home that supports modern family life while remaining closely connected to its surroundings. Having been a much-enjoyed home for over twenty years, it carries a warmth and familiarity that is immediately apparent - a place shaped not just by its setting, but by the life within it.

The presence of a self-contained annexe adds a further layer of flexibility for extended family, complemented by generous parking and the practicality required for everyday living. 

THE PROPERTY There is an immediate sense of space on entering - a wide hallway, natural light and a glimpse through to the rooms beyond setting the tone for the house as a whole.

From here, the principal reception rooms unfold to the front, both enjoying a bright aspect and a natural connection to the surrounding landscape. These are comfortable, well-balanced spaces - equally suited to quieter moments or to a house full of people.

The main sitting room is well-proportioned, centred around a fireplace that provides a natural focal point. It is a room that naturally draws people in, equally suited to quieter evenings or to a house filled with family and friends, with its multi-fuel burner adding warmth and character. Alongside, the second reception room offers a slightly more relaxed setting, which works well as an additional sitting room or family space - somewhere that can adapt easily depending on the needs of the day or relax and watch TV.

To the front of the house, the conservatory extends the living space further, positioned to take full advantage of the outlook. It is a naturally light-filled room, offering a more informal place to sit throughout the day, with views stretching across the surrounding countryside towards Dartmoor. It provides a gentle transition between house and garden, particularly in the warmer months.

Moving through, the house begins to open out towards the rear. The kitchen has been more recently updated, introducing a clean, contemporary feel that sits easily within the overall character of the house. It is a practical and considered space, with a calm palette and generous storage, designed for everyday use. Adjoining this, the dining area brings a different atmosphere - more textural and grounded, with exposed stonework and a fireplace anchoring the room with a yellow gas fired Rayburn giving a lovely feel to this home. Doors open directly onto the garden, allowing the space to extend naturally outdoors, particularly in the warmer months. Together, these spaces create a natural hub to the house, balancing everyday practicality with a more relaxed, characterful setting. From the inner hallway, stairs descend to an extensive cellar - a genuinely useful space offering substantial storage and practical potential.

Stairs rise to the first floor, where the sense of proportion continues. Four bedrooms are arranged across this level, each enjoying a pleasant outlook, with several drawing the eye towards the surrounding countryside. The principal bedroom benefits from its own
ensuite, while the remaining rooms are served by a family bathroom. Each room feels comfortable and well balanced, offering flexibility for family life as needs evolve over time.

The family bathroom is thoughtfully arranged and well-sized, providing a calm and practical space for everyday use. Natural light enhances the room, while the layout is designed to comfortably serve the surrounding bedrooms.

Set above the detached double garage, the annexe provides a well-considered and self-contained living space, positioned to enjoy both privacy and a pleasant outlook across the gardens. Accessed independently, it opens into an open-plan living area, where kitchen, dining and sitting spaces are arranged with a natural sense of flow. Light is drawn in through French doors, which lead out to a small private terrace, creating an easy connection to the outside and a sense of separation from the main house. A separate bedroom and bathroom complete the accommodation, allowing for comfortable day-to-day living. A particularly valuable addition to the property, offering flexible accommodation well suited to extended family, independent living or a quieter space away from the main house. We understand its use is restricted to purposes ancillary to the main dwelling. 

OUTSIDE The property is approached via a generous sweeping driveway, providing ample parking and leading up to the detached double garage. The gardens have evolved into a mature and well balanced setting, wrapping up and around the house to the rear, offering both privacy and views. A decked terrace to the front enjoys an elevated position with far-reaching views - an ideal spot for outdoor dining - while to the rear, a paved terrace leads up to an expansive lawn bordered by established trees and planting. The gardens follow the natural shape of the plot, with areas that catch the light at different times of day. Homes that combine this quality of position, this breadth of accommodation and this proximity to one of Dartmoor's most characterful market towns are rarely offered. Courtenay Terrace is not simply a house to move into - it is one to grow into, and to stay
