The lounge is an especially spacious and comfortable reception room, enjoying a dual-aspect layout which fills the room with natural light throughout the day. Offering a lovely open feel, the room enjoys outlooks towards the road frontage and mature hedge rows to one side, creating a pleasant green backdrop while maintaining a sense of privacy. The proportions of the room make it perfectly suited to both relaxed family living and entertaining.
To the rear of the property lies a stunning kitchen/dining room, thoughtfully designed with modern family life in mind. The stylish shaker-style fitted kitchen offers extensive worktop and cupboard space alongside a mid-level double oven, induction hob with extractor over and a full-size integrated dishwasher. The dining area enjoys direct access onto the rear garden, while the dual-aspect layout frames attractive outlooks over the gardens and surrounding Devon hedge rows.
Leading from the kitchen is a spacious utility room providing further storage and housing for white goods, helping to keep the main kitchen space practical and uncluttered. The utility room also benefits from access to the rear and side gardens, adding further convenience to this exceptionally well-designed family home.
The first floor continues to impress with four genuine double bedrooms arranged around a spacious landing, itself enjoying lovely countryside views. The principal bedroom enjoys a particularly luxurious feel with its own Juliet balcony overlooking the rear garden, creating a bright and airy retreat, further enhanced by a stylish en-suite shower room finished to a modern standard.
Bedrooms three and four both enjoy attractive far-reaching countryside views across neighbouring fields, perfectly highlighting the home’s enviable position on the edge of the development.

Kings Orchard has become one of Stoke Gabriel’s most highly regarded modern developments, earning recognition through the LABC Building Excellence Awards and being shortlisted within the Michelmores Property Awards. Cavanna Homes designed the development to sit sympathetically within the surrounding landscape, inspired by the area’s orchards and countryside setting. Residents also benefit from a large open green space and park area ideal for children, picnics and enjoying the far-reaching views stretching towards the River Dart.
