    About this property

    • Tuckers Hay is a wonderful, modern country home. Arranged over two floors, the accommodation, which is spacious and light, flows beautifully and offers flexible living perfect for modern family life. The property was built by the well-regarded local builder, Steve Bryan, and was completed a few years ago and features many modern conveniences such as underfloor heating throughout.

      The ground floor is given over to the living accommodation and stepping through the front door into the spacious entrance hall with porcelain tiled floor, really sets the tone for what is to come.

      The beautiful open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room is clearly the heart of the home and offers a real "wow" factor.
      With either windows or French doors on all sides, this is a wonderfully light space with engineered oak flooring throughout.

      The well equipped kitchen is arranged around a central island unit with Silestone worktop and enough seating for 4 with bar stools. There is a range of bespoke base and wall units as well as a range of integrated appliances, such as triple Siemens ovens which include a microwave and steam oven, an electric Siemens hob, a dishwasher,a double Belfast sink Quooker hot water tap and fridge freezer.

      As well as the central island, there is a generous dining area which compliments the kitchen, both of which are open plan to the sitting room. From both the kitchen / dining area and the sitting room, French doors lead onto the wrap around terrace which is the perfect spot for morning coffee or alfresco dining.

      From the entrance hall a pair of oak doors lead to the large, dual aspect drawing room which is again flooded with natural light. A fireplace with inset wood burning stove provides that cosy feel while French doors lead to the outside terrace.

      Beyond the main living accommodation, the ground floor also offers a good size study, a cloakroom, boot room and a utility / laundry room which offers an abundance of storage as well as an integrated fridge freezer as well as space for laundry equipment.

      From the entrance hall, the beautiful handcrafted oak staircase leads to the first floor which has a stunning view over the countryside through a picture window overlooking the private terrace from the main bedroom.
      The principal bedroom suite continues the spacious and bright theme and benefits from a generous en suite bathroom with free standing bath and separate shower as well as a dressing room. French doors lead to a fabulous, covered balcony, with Millboard decking which is the perfect place from which to enjoy the views over the garden and beyond.

      Beyond this there are a further 4 double bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms or shower rooms.

      The Annexe
      Accessed via a stable door into a lobby with door into the open plan kitchen/sitting room, which has also been built to the same standard as the house, with a range of base and eye-level kitchen units with fully integrated appliances and hardwearing laminate floor with a pair of patio doors out from the sitting area, onto the patio for the bungalow. Door to a WC and door to two double bedrooms, the largest with an en-suite shower room and a large walk-in wardrobe/store area.

      Gardens and Grounds
      Approached through electric gates which lead to a sweeping, resin bond and illuminated drive, you gain a sense of grandeur and privacy which continues as you meander up to the water fountain which provides a convenient turning and parking area.

      Tuckers Hay has been designed to make the most of the stunning, far-reaching views over its own land and the rolling South Devon countryside beyond and the gardens have been designed to enhance this experience.

      Designed by a landscape gardener, the various ‘rooms' of the garden are accessed from the large, raised patio with slate-effect ceramic paving with recently fitted balustrading and a wide staircase leading down onto the central level area of lawn.

      There are a number of level lawned areas with large herbaceous borders and stone chipping paths leading to the lower areas of garden. To the lower area is a curved, rendered wall, providing a sheltered seating area in front of a further water feature. The gardens, drive and the house are all illuminated and controlled on various systems, making the property exceptionally attractive and safe at night.

      Garaging & Outbuildings - There is a double with electrically operated up and over doors with a rear access door. This garage houses a Grant oil-fired boiler for the bungalow, with a single garage with electrically operated roller doors, which could be used as a bike store or a workshop with a covered overhang. There are a number of outbuildings to the property one of which includes an installed sauna, the main being an insulated summerhouse with numerous power points and has been designed to be used as a home office/gym/hobby area. Beyond here is a further patio. There is a summerhouse located to the rear of the bungalow, a Wendy house and a kennel with run furthest from the property.
