We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION Set within an exclusive private road in the heart of the desirable village of Crapstone, this impressive and substantial detached home offers a rare combination of tranquillity, space and convenience.
Ideally positioned for access to Dartmoor National Park and its abundance of outdoor pursuits, the property is equally well placed for commuting to Plymouth.
Constructed in the early 2000s by a private builder, this distinguished residence occupies a delightful south-westerly facing position, allowing the rear gardens and principal reception rooms to enjoy excellent natural light throughout the day.
The property is approached via a brick-paved driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, alongside easy access to the double garage.
The attractive entrance is sheltered beneath a second-floor overhang supported by pillars, creating a feature that is both aesthetically pleasing and practical in all weather conditions.
Designed with efficiency and comfort in mind, the home benefits from an impressive EPC Band B rating, full double glazing, gas central heating and underfloor heating, making it both energy efficient and comfortable throughout the seasons.
Internally, the home is beautifully presented and blends contemporary styling with subtle character features that complement its village setting, including a striking stone fireplace and multi-fuel burner.
The front door opens into a generous reception hallway, setting the tone for the spacious accommodation throughout.
The ground floor comprises a large kitchen/breakfast room fitted with an extensive range of wooden floor and wall units and featuring a gas-fired Aga, with direct access to the utility room and double garage.
The dining room enjoys views over the patio and gardens, with patio doors opening onto the outside space, while the impressive triple-aspect lounge is flooded with natural light and centred around a welcoming log burner.
Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom, study and useful storage cupboard. Upstairs, the bright and spacious landing leads to four well-proportioned double bedrooms.
The principal suite benefits from built-in storage, delightful views over the grounds and a generous en-suite shower room featuring double sinks and a rainfall shower head.

Outside, the gardens wrap around the property within a plot extending to approximately 0.23 acres.
The side gardens provide an excellent practical growing space, ideal for keen gardeners, with raised beds, a garden shed, potting shed, space for a greenhouse and a gravelled seating area, all enjoying a sunny aspect.
The main gardens are also south-facing and thoughtfully arranged with paved patio seating areas and expansive lawns bordered by mature shrubs, plants and trees, creating a private and established setting ideal for both entertaining and family enjoyment.
The double garage benefits from an electric up-and-over door together with useful overhead storage accessed via a built-in ladder.
