Description:

A detached family house for modernisation with over an acre of grounds just outside one of the area's most favoured villages.

HOW TO GET THERE
TQ9 6DX. Dartington is approached from Totnes on the A385 (signposted Exeter & Buckfastleigh). Leave Dartington (Shinners Bridge roundabout) on the A385 Plymouth Road. The property is on the right hand side, after about three quarters of a mile, immediately after the NHS PCN offices .
DARTINGTON
Dartington is a popular village within walking distance of Totnes along foot and cycle paths. It has a good range of facilities including a fine Victorian parish church, built from materials from a previous church at Dartington Hall, a post office/general stores, primary school, community centre, garage and public house. There is also a playing field, a nature trail along the attractive Bidwell Brook and the popular Cider Press Centre. The village is best known for Dartington Hall, its literature festivals and the many cultural facilities and events that it offers. The A38, is ten minutes' drive, and Totnes five.
THE PROPERTY
Built eighty six years ago, Oakhurst, just outside Dartington, has never since been put up for sale until now. The present owner has lived in it since 1935, and his grandfather had built it ten years earlier. It is an attractive and imposing house, double fronted and with bay windows and fairly typical of the between-the-wars larger houses. It stands in a large garden of almost an acre and it faces south. Oakhurst is big and spacious with nine-foot ceilings, two south facing reception rooms, and a sun room on the west side of the house and it is ready for buyers wanting to be able to put their own stamp on a good family house in a favoured location with Totnes, the A38, Dartmoor and the coast all within easy reach and Dartington, and all it has to offer, on the doorstep. The attic has room for more accommodation and about fifteen years ago the owner had planning consent to build over the sunroom. Others might consider adding to the back of the house. Outside, the extensive grounds surround the house and offer opportunities for the most earnest of gardeners, or for buyers just looking for a property with somewhere for their children to kick a ball about. There is a large double garage, outhouses/workshops, and a swimming pool (at the moment, unlined). Across the lane, a quarter acre oak and beech copse is included in the sale.
