*Watch the Video Tour*

If you seek village life in Devon, good local schools and quick access to the motorway and Tiverton Parkway Station for commuting, this could be the one - a magnificent detached, family home, nicely tucked away in a quiet cul de sac in the favoured village of Culmstock.

A beautifully scented path, bordered with lavender, leads to the front door of number 7, which opens into the tiled reception hall and a warm welcome.

One of the prime features of the living space is the superb kitchen and family room, which extends across the back of the house, overlooking the garden, with patio doors opening out to the patio, perfect for summer evening barbecues and entertaining. The kitchen is attractively tiled and fitted in a classic, light Shaker style with plenty of storage, quartz work surfaces and dining bar and integral appliances, including an electric oven, hob and extractor hood, dishwasher and double fridge. The adjoining utility room is fitted in a similar style with oak work surface, a sink unit, integral washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. The tiled flooring gives way to oak in the dining and family area of the kitchen and has underfloor heating, which extends throughout the ground floor for a lovely, homely atmosphere. At the other end of the kitchen, there is plenty of space for easy chairs and a large, bespoke dresser unit runs the width of the room for display and additional storage.

Glazed doors lead to the sitting room, with a feature Minster fireplace, housing a gas fire, for cosy winter evenings. From the hallway, there is a cloakroom and a generous playroom, home office or TV room. The stairs to the first floor have an attractive, solid oak balustrade and galleried landing.

Upstairs, there are currently four bedrooms, although the house was designed with five. The smaller, fifth bedroom has been incorporated in the principal bedroom suite as a dressing room, with 'Sharps' fitted wardrobes, but could readily be reverted back to a bedroom, if required, as the door from the landing, the window and radiator are still in place; it would just need a stud wall to separate it from Bedroom 1.

The other three bedrooms are all generous doubles with Bedroom 2 having an en suite shower room and Bedroom 4, fitted wardrobes. The whole property has adjustable louvre shutters over the windows, instead of curtains, and the windows to the rear of the house enjoy views over rolling countryside. From the landing, the family bathroom is attractively tiled and fitted with a white suite, with a shower over the bath and a vanity unit with a quartz counter around the sink.

7 Great Meadow occupies a large corner plot and on approach has brick paved parking in front of the double garage, with an electrically operated door. Garden continues from the front lawn area, with privet hedge, around to the side of the house, fenced and with a gate leading to the vegetable area, with raised planters. Beyond, the large rear garden is principally laid to lawn, with a paved patio adjoining the house, and attracts the late afternoon and evening sunshine.

Within the garden, there is a detached studio building, used as a home office, appointed with light, power and good broadband connectivity. This could also be used as a salon, treatment room or gym.

Air source heat pump for central heating. Bottled propane gas for the fire in the sitting room.
