To the front of Longwater is a brick paved driveway which provides parking for several vehicles as well as giving access to an attached single garage.

The front door opens to an entrance vestibule which in turn opens to a hallway off of which are two double bedrooms, a bathroom and the kitchen. Also accessed off the hallway is a spacious and light lounge with a large bay window to the front and two large windows which allow light to flood in from the sun room through the dining area. The dining area, which can be accessed from the lounge or the kitchen, has a large archway opening to a long sun room with a wall of windows facing south west providing a beautiful outlook over the rear garden and to the countryside beyond taking in the fields of Carclew and Perranwell. There is also a study found towards the end of the sun room and a glazed door opens to a small flight of steps which descend to the rear garden.

Off the dining area is a large utility room with an airing cupboard and from here a door leads to an en-suite double bedroom with a large built-in wardrobe.

From the hallway, a staircase leads to the first floor landing where a Velux skylight with deep window seat under faces south west out towards the neighbouring countryside. There are also two further bedrooms and a family bath/shower room on the first floor.

Outside, a pathway from the front driveway leads to the rear garden which faces south west and offers a good deal of privacy with a broad paved sun terrace and a further decked sun terrace. The garden is well stocked with an array of mature hedges and shrubs as well as a small pond.

In all, a large, detached five bedroomed family home in need of some modernisation, with a south facing rear garden, driveway parking and a garage, located in the highly sought after creekside village of Devoran.
