Lionkins is situated within the semi-rural village of Bickington, between the towns of Ashburton and Newton Abbot. The village has a meeting hall, church and nearby pub/restaurant - The Dartmoor Halfway. The excellent Blackpool Primary School is five minutes' drive down the road and the town of Ashburton, with a good selection of everyday shops and amenities including a secondary school, around ten minutes.
Dartmoor National Park can be clearly seen from the property and there is good walking country close to hand. The A38 can be accessed at nearby Goodstone/Ashburton and links the two Devon cities of Plymouth and Exeter.
Lionkins is estimated to have been built in the 1980s and has been stylishly remodelled by our vendor clients during the course of their 10 year ownership. It offers bright, contemporary accommodation over two floors including bedroom and bathroom accommodation on each level. The living area is of an open-plan layout centred around a cosy wood-burner and with plenty of space for a dining table plus a kitchen space with stylish units. Doors from the living area connect to a large outdoor seating/entertaining space whilst the largest first floor bedroom has a sit-out balcony with views to Dartmoor.
A gated drive provides lots of parking along with a detached garage, whilst at the rear lies an enclosed garden - a secure environment for both children and pets.
