Situation - This substantial house is situated in an enviable position along a quiet residential lane within the sought-after West Devon village of Crapstone, which is popular for its proximity to Roborough Down, the nearby village of Yelverton, the town of Tavistock and the city of Plymouth. The edge of the Dartmoor National Park is just a few hundred yards away, providing unlimited opportunities for walking, riding, cycling and exploring, all on the doorstep.

Plymouth is 10 miles to the south, with Exeter 45 miles to the northeast, both offering excellent transport links by road, rail and air.
Description - Built in 1989 and owned by our clients since new, this substantial and characterful home offers over 2,850 sq.ft of bright, well-proportioned accommodation, with features including timber sash windows, a bespoke Treyone kitchen, coved ceilings and parquet flooring.
Constructed of cavity masonry beneath a slate roof with a tiled façade, the house sits behind a gated drive with a double garage, and enjoys beautiful south-facing gardens with a private sun patio. Of particular note, previously approved planning consent exists for a new dwelling within the grounds, involving demolition and re-siting of part of the existing house, offering exciting scope for self-builders, multi-generational living or those with a commercial interest.
Accommodation - The house is accessed through a canopied entrance porch with moulded corbels into a large reception hallway with an elegant staircase. The ground floor accommodation can then be summarised as follows: a 22', dual-aspect sitting room with patio doors to the garden and a custom-fitted TV and shelving unit; a dedicated dining room; a further snug sitting room, or hobbies/play room with patio doors; a cloakroom; the superb Treyone Kitchen, which is finished with granite work surfaces, an electric Aga and a complete range of integrated appliances, including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, Neff induction hob and triple-function oven, grill and microwave with plate warmer below; a walk-in pantry; a utility room; a rear boot room, and; a beautiful, vaulted garden room.
On the first floor are the 4-piece family bathroom and five bedrooms, of which four are doubles, three have fitted wardrobes, and two have en-suites, including the spacious master, which is complete with his-and-hers wardrobes and an attractive 4-piece en-suite. The fifth bedroom is currently used as a study, complete with shelving and storage.
Outside - The property is approached via electric gates onto an enclosed driveway, with a double garage to one side featuring an electric roller door, work benches, power and lighting. The principal garden lies to the rear, laid mostly to lawn with mature beds and borders. A slate path leads to a tucked-away garden area with a timber tool shed, while a private sun patio off the garden room offers a peaceful spot for summer evenings. In all, the plot extends to 0.31 acres.
