Littleborough Cross, Black Dog

Individual Detached House in Wonderful Rural Position with Superb Views & Set in 3 Acres of Gardens & Paddock, plus a 120sqm Detached Barn

Brin Villa is an individual detached house, found in a wonderful rural location with just a scattering of neighbours in this little hamlet and it takes in some amazing south facing views over your own garden and ground onto Dartmoor in the distance.

The accommodation has undergone a number of improvements recently, but works have not been completed giving the next owner a perfectly liveable home, and yet still scope and potential to create their own vision for the future.

At present we have three double bedrooms upstairs (served by 2 staircases), with the master bedroom benefiting from a brand new en-suite shower room and all bedrooms taking in the southerly view.

Downstairs includes a recently completed garden room, with an entirely glazed end wall and bi-folding doors (plus a new cloakroom with WC), the lounge diner is characterful with exposed beams, window seat & a wood-burning stove, it also has double doors to the glazed veranda with the lovely gardens beyond. Running along the back is a kitchen breakfast room, rear entrance, utility room and a family bathroom; these can be adapted as the next owner sees fit, with further potential to extend into the adjoining Shippen Barn which already has power, is plaster boarded & has flooring down, there is a nice mezzanine area over the kitchen. The house also has oil-fired central heating and some double glazing.

Outside: The plot extends to nearly 3 acres (2.935) in total, a large proportion of this is the paddock, which has its own gated access to the lane, it wraps around the substantial formal gardens nicely giving a real feeling of space and openness. There is ample parking behind the property and also gated access to drive in around the barn if storing vehicles out of the weather is a priority.

Outbuilding: The main detached barn is a fantastic size extending to nearly 120sqm / 1288sqft, it has light and power and a large opening on the north east end for vehicles etc.

Please see the floorplan for room sizes.

BLACK DOG, a mile to the east is a small Mid Devon village, located 7 miles north of Crediton and 10 miles west of Tiverton. It sits astride one of the highest ridges of land that run between Dartmoor and Exmoor, at an altitude of 656 feet. Such elevation allows a panoramic unfurling of the countryside. Dartmoor is particularly visible, and can be appreciated from the ‘Black Dog Inn’ – a mid-way watering hole, favoured by ramblers taking on the ‘Two Moors Way’. This is a long distance trek (102 miles), winding over both moors from South Devon to North Devon (some 50 miles of walking deserves a tipple!). The Two Moors Way crosses the road a few hundred yards from the property.
