Beautifully presented home with wonderful gardens in the most delightful setting on Dartmoor.
Originally built in the 1920's as a summer holiday home for the Wiils tobacco family, "Higher Cator" is a particularly lovely, detached chalet-style bungalow with rendered elevations beneath a tiled roof with high chimney stacks and finials on the ridges. This charming home is entered via electric gates opening onto the extensive parking area and inviting gardens.
Inside, there is a beautiful and sociable kitchen/breakfast room which is clearly the heart of the home. The kitchen itself is centred around an island, with an extensive range of wall, base and drawer units and French doors leading out onto the terrace. The free flowing accommodation leads nicely into a double aspect dining room with a feature fireplace and views out onto the garden via a pretty square bay. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room and laundry cupboard.
The impressive central hall again has French doors out onto the terrace and provides access to the delightful sitting room with a feature fireplace. There are three bedrooms (one en suite) on this level, including one which is currently being used as a study and a family bathroom. On the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys long distant views towards the south coast and a walk in wardrobe. There is a modern shower room and further storage on this level. The storage area has huge potential subject to necessary planning consents.
Gardens and Grounds
The gardens are a particular feature to Higher Cator and total 1.17 acres. Cleverly planted and enjoying an extensive lawn there is plenty of space to appreciate its truly magical setting. There is a working kitchen garden with raised beds and green house alongside a terrace and seating area perfectly placed to capture the sunshine. There are sweeping lawns and a good sized area of woodland, providing a charming sylvan setting with a leat running through.
Outbuildings include a substantial studio - perfect for entertaining or creating a home office and a double garage.
