4 Bed Detached House For Sale

A characterful village home in an elevated position with lovely views and pretty enclosed gardens.

East Allington is a village with a strong local community, highly-regarded primary school, pre-school and pub. The closest town is Kingsbridge which offers extensive shopping and facilities including a health centre, small hospital, sports centre and the highly regarded Kingsbridge Community College. The bustling and thriving market town of Totnes is 11 miles away and from here there is a regular direct train service to London Paddington. The village is surrounded by unspoilt rolling countryside and within easy reach of the beautiful coastline, beaches and estuaries of the South Hams.

Occupying an elevated position in the heart of the village, Leighton House has bright and airy accommodation with charming village and rural views. On the ground floor, there is a welcoming entrance hall and the spacious dual aspect sitting room has a wood burning stove and overlooks the front garden. The kitchen dining room with French doors enjoys views across the rear garden to fields beyond. There is also a bedroom on this floor, although it could be another reception room, and in addition a study and utility room off which there is a shower. The first floor has three bright bedrooms and a generous family bathroom.

The gardens which surround the house are an absolute delight. Thoughtfully planted borders provide privacy around the level lawns and seating areas have been created to enjoy sun at different times of the day. There is also a wood store and bespoke shed.
