SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION This historic and unique, three storey, Victorian Grade II listed semi-detached house sits within a lovely semi-rural location with superb views of the surrounding countryside. Designed and built by Sabine Baring-Gould in 1890 as one of a symmetrical pair of impressive semi-detached houses, built for two of his daughters. Sabine Baring-Gould was the Squire and Parson of the parish of Lewtrenchard, prolific novelist and author, hymn writer, theologian and antiquarian.

The property retains a wealth of character features, original doors, original fireplaces and surrounds, and a double winder staircase. The exterior has been decoratively finished with natural slate hung elevations, corniced projections and hanging bay window, all of which mirror the style of the nearby Baring-Gould family home, Lewtrenchard Manor. There is a parking bay for a car to the side of the house and an attractive country garden which extends to the rear and side and enjoys countryside views towards Brentor church on the horizon, while bordering a mature woodland with an abundance of wildlife.

Accommodation benefits from oil fired central heating, Rayburn Range cooker and wood burning stove. The rooms offer period charm and original features with windows overlooking the garden and beyond. Slate steps and wrought iron railings lead up to the entrance and into the accommodation which comprises a large reception hall, sitting room, living/dining room, kitchen with larder, rear hall and cloakroom. To the first floor are two large double bedrooms, ensuite shower room and a bathroom. To the lower ground, and with its own entrance, is an undercroft/utility with hot and cold water, light and power, which is currently used as a hobby room.

The house is on the edge of a hamlet and within easy reach of amenities in Lewdown which include a village post office/stores, public house and is conveniently positioned approximately 10 miles from Tavistock, 10 miles from Launceston, 18 miles from Plymouth and 38 miles from Exeter. There is also a Waitrose in Okehampton which is approximately 10 minutes from the door, and an award winning farm shop a short distance away.
