A striking contemporary detached home, beautifully positioned on the edge of Thorverton village
Description
Lyndale is a striking contemporary detached home, occupying an exceptional edge of village position with far reaching views across the rolling Devon countryside. The property has been thoughtfully designed in a reverse level configuration to maximise its outlook, light and sense of space, creating a highly distinctive and beautifully balanced family home.
Approached via a private driveway, the house immediately impresses with its clean architectural lines, all set against an idyllic rural backdrop. Extensively redesigned in 2020, the accommodation extends to approximately 2,468 sq ft and is arranged to take full advantage of the elevated position and surrounding countryside views.
The principal living accommodation is located on the first floor, where a welcoming entrance hall opens into a superb open plan kitchen/dining space. This is undoubtedly the focal point of the house, with floor to ceiling windows and two sets of steel double doors leading onto a balcony, framing uninterrupted views across open fields and gently undulating hills. The kitchen is contemporary in design, centred around a substantial island with integrated appliances and complemented by sleek cabinetry, creating a sociable and highly functional space. The dining area sits comfortably alongside, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining on a larger scale.
An adjoining reception room offers a more intimate sitting space, while still benefiting from excellent natural light and connectivity to the main living area. The sense of space throughout this part of the house is enhanced by high ceilings and expansive windows, allowing the surrounding countryside to become an integral part of the interior experience.
Also positioned on this floor, the principal bedroom suite enjoys a peaceful outlook and is complemented by a dressing area and en suite facilities.
The ground floor offers exceptionally versatile accommodation, ideally suited to family life or guest use. Four further bedrooms are arranged off a central hall and are served by a family bathroom. A particularly generous family room provides additional living space with the flexibility to be used as a media room, games room or informal sitting area. A utility room and ancillary storage further enhance the practicality of the layout.
Externally, the property sits within generous gardens, with areas of lawn and terraces providing ample space for outdoor seating. The balcony, accessed directly from the main living space, offers a wonderful vantage point. There is a small pond and several young fruit trees. The setting is both private and peaceful, with immediate access to open countryside, yet remains conveniently positioned within the village.
The panoramic views and it is peaceful and private location means that the property is not overlooked. The house enjoys large skies to give spectacular sunsets and night skies. It is common to see wildlife - foxes, deer and buzzards - and a wide variety of birds fly past at eye level from the living areas.
Location
