Peaceful and convenient location, friendly vibrant community and quality of workmanship.

Located within the Conservation Area of the rural village of Merton and accessed down a quiet lane, Church View is an exclusive development of just three, four bedroom detached homes designed and built to blend thoughtfully with the local architecture. Utilising local stone on the exterior, the windows and porches enhance the overall presence of the homes whilst internally the home has been designed for convenience and today's busy lifestyles.

On entering Church View immediately you walk into the entrance hall with engineered oak floor that that is throughout the property. Here you will find the cloakroom and doors leading off to the living room and kitchen/family/dining room. The living room is dual aspect with double doors leading out to the rear garden and large patio area. A limestone fireplace with a wood-burner in-situ is the main focal point to the room. The light and airy open-plan kitchen/family/dining room has a central island with quartz worktops, plenty of soft-closing floor and wall units plus integrated appliances including a dishwasher, neff hob and rangemaster extractor fan. Patio doors also lead out to an area which is ideal for alfresco dining! The utility room is accessed off the room where the boiler is situated and allows for a freestanding washing machine and dryer with plenty of cupboard space.

Leading you upstairs is an oak staircase with balustrade and handrail to a landing with doors leading off to all four bedrooms, the main bedroom overlooks the front of the property with an en-suite shower-room, the second bedroom (also with an en-suite) overlooks the rear garden towards the church. Bedrooms three and four are to the rear and have the flexibility of being used either as a study, gym space or even a dressing room. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath, wc and sink - it is worth noting that all bathrooms have classic hardware and marble topped vanity units providing plenty of storage space. The loft is accessed from the landing.

The development is accessed off Clarkes Lane into a block paved driveway, from here Church View is approached via its own rustic wooden gates into a private gravelled driveway that leads to a garage. The front garden has been seeded and landscaped. At the rear is a spacious patio that overlooks All Saints Church, this area could easily accommodate garden furniture as well as perhaps a hot tub! The main garden has been seeded with a mature tree/shrub boundary, a close-boarded fence allows for privacy.

The village of Merton is nestled in the rolling countryside and is a hive of activity! Known for its proximity to the popular Tarka Bicycle/Walking Trail but also because of its vibrant village community with Clinton Community Hall at the centre of it all. Playing host to a variety of clubs and functions including fetes as well as the odd bit of Yoga and a classic car vintage fair. In addition there is the Malt Scoop Inn, Merton F.C., The Clinton Church of England Primary School, short mat bowling club as well as All Saints Church.

If you are not a car owner, a regular bus service comes through the village along the A386 taking you to the towns of Hatherleigh and Torrington both offer their own eclectic mix of bespoke shops and cafes. Approximately 20 minutes away is Okehampton where you will find a train station that takes you into Exeter and beyond, Waitrose and Lidl supermarkets as well as independent retailers for shopping with Dartmoor on its doorstep. In the opposite direction are the seaside towns of Bideford and Westward Ho! That are approximately 25 minutes away from the village of Merton.
