SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
‘Orchard Croft’ is situated within a small close forming part of the Ringmore area of Shaldon, a pretty South Devon village at the mouth of the River Teign. The village offers a wide range of facilities including shops, Inns, Restaurants, doctors surgery, garage, churches and primary school. Across the River, larger neighbour Teignmouth has a local hospital, secondary school and railway station.
Leisure activities are focused very much on activities on, in or under the water with sailing, angling, swimming and diving supported by clubs and societies with an ever popular annual Water Carnival.
‘Orchard Croft’ is an eye catching property originally constructed as a modest detached bungalow which has recently been the subject of an imaginative and comprehensive programme of conversion and extension. Internally, rooms are heated by gas central heating and creature comforts are further enhanced by Upvc double glazed windows. At ground floor level patio doors from the reception rooms open to extensive decked areas ideal for ‘al fresco’ entertaining and lead to an established and secluded rear garden. At first floor level, of particular note are the high ceilings and splendid master bedroom suite with balcony off.
