Moorland Close, Yelverton, PL20 6DD

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION A period home with a timeless character dating from the early part of the last century.

Heathfield is a striking triple-fronted period house beautifully situated adjoining open moorland on Roborough Down.

Set within mature gardens and grounds, this fine home blends early 20th-century character with thoughtfully designed extensions, creating a residence of both charm and versatility.

The property has been carefully enlarged to provide generous family accommodation, including a superb 30 ft games room with a master suite above.

Approached via the main drive, the handsome facade represents the classic proportions of a triple-fronted period home, enhanced by sensitive additions that have been aesthetically added, giving the impression the house has always been this way.

The gated driveway with cattle grid to ensure the moorland animals remain outside the grounds opens from the moorland lane with ample parking and turning space.

Additional parking and secondary access are available from Moorland Close, a private no-through road. Inside, the ground floor offers a wealth of living space.

There is a 19 ft sitting room and a separate study, while the games room with patio doors leading out into the garden is perfect for entertaining.

The heart of the home lies in the impressive 30 ft kitchen and dining room, fitted with country-style units, a central island, wooden floors, a log burner, a Rayburn, and integrated appliances.

Versatile accommodation allows for dining, lounging, and cooking in comfort. A light-filled hallway, generous conservatory and a cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, five spacious double bedrooms provide excellent family accommodation. The master is a particularly large suite with its own dressing room and luxurious en suite.

A second bedroom also benefits from an en suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

The grounds are a real highlight, featuring level lawns bordered with mature trees and shrubs, offering both beauty and privacy.
