Nestled in the heart of the picturesque village of Drewsteignton, The Rectory presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial 4 bedroom detached residence set within a generous plot of approximately one acre. This characterful property offers immense potential for those seeking a project to create a truly bespoke family home in one of Devon’s most desirable rural locations. No onward chain.

The Property

The Rectory is a spacious four-bedroom detached home. An entrance hallway leads to a kitchen/dining room, sitting room, utility room, study/workshop and WC. The kitchen/dining room has a bay window and wooden units with granite worktops. Exposed beams add to the character of the room. The spacious sitting room enjoys lovely views over the rear garden and countryside beyond. There is a slate hearth with flue for a woodburner to be connected. The study/workshop is a versatile space that could be renovated for use as an additional reception room, also with a rear aspect and excellent views.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms and a bathroom. The dual aspect master bedroom is light and spacious, boating enviable views. The bathroom has a white ceramic three piece suite plus separate cubicle with electric shower. A hot water tank with immersion supplies the hot water.

Outside, a gated entrance leads to gravelled driveway area with parking for several cars. This extends into a large area with several sheds, which has huge potential for a variety of uses. Immediately to the rear of the house is a lawned garden area with mature borders. Steps from here lead to the vast lower wildlife garden which is fully walled and features numerous fruit trees. The total plot extends to approximately one acre.

While the property would benefit from renovation throughout, it offers a blank canvas for imaginative refurbishment. The expansive grounds provide ample space for landscaping, extensions, or outdoor living enhancements, making it ideal for growing families or those looking to embrace country living with room to breathe.
