Woodbury, Devon

Description

Littlefield is a detached property constructed in 2010 for the current owners, by Heritage Homes who have created a high specification property benefitting from upgrading to the highest quality, with aluminium double glazing, and dry fit roof. Presented in pristine order throughout, both internally and externally. The focus is very much on eco friendly, environmentally aware and self-sufficient living, both in the house, as well as the stunning gardens.

Located on the fringes of the Village, at the end of a private drive shared with one other property. The current owners enjoy it as a 2 bedroom bungalow, with dressing room to the principal bedroom, however it could easily be reconfigured as a 3 bedroom property, as per the original planning permission. Solar panels, enhanced by a Tesla Powerwall II battery, provide clean reliable electricity, as well increasing the properties energy independence and sustainability. Further features are a water based underfloor heating system throughout and integrated sound system.

The welcoming reception hallway, with large walk in cloaks cupboard, leads to all the rooms.
The wonderful open plan kitchen/dining room/sitting room sits to the rear of the property. The bespoke kitchen is fitted with a comprehensive range of shaker style, part oak and part brushed steel units, beneath Silestone work surfaces, double Neff oven, 5 ring gas hob, integral fridge/freezer and dishwasher. From the dining area, steps lead up to the sitting room with feature fireplace and wood burning stove plus full height glass and patio doors.

The principal bedroom benefits from a modern ensuite shower room and dressing room. The second bedroom is a good sized double with fitted wardrobes. Both bedrooms have fully wired TV aerial and power sockets facing the bed. In addition there is a modern bathroom suite with limestone flooring completing the accommodation.

The outside space is of particular note with gardens extending to 0.45 acres. To the front there is parking, an electric car charging point driven by solar/battery and a turning area leading to the garage with utilities, next to which is a purpose built gym.

The rear gardens enjoy a good degree of privacy and have been meticulously planned and landscaped with large patio adjoining the rear of the property. Steps lead up to a path that winds through well stocked flower and shrub beds, past a lawn and gravelled seating area to a Japanese wildlife pond with UV filtration system. The purpose built garden office is a fully insulated eco-building with kitchenette, underfloor electric heating and double glazing, and can also be easily converted to a guest bedroom suite, a summer room or crafting space. It also has a raised decked area with electric awning and views across the village. The deck is south west facing and enjoys the last of the evening summer sun. There is a fully stocked orchard with wide variety of fruit, enclosed for safe housing of chickens. In truth, the agent's words cannot do the quality and beauty of the garden any sort of justice, so do please ask us for a video link showing the garden through the seasons.

Situation

Woodbury Parish, which includes the Villages of Woodbury, Woodbury Salterton and Exton, is one of the largest Parishes in Devon. It encompasses much of Woodbury Common, an outstanding area of natural beauty and enjoys a thriving community spirit rooted in the church and chapel, in the school and in agriculture. In days past the Parish was frequented by Sir Francis Drake and there is a chapel dedicated to his memory at St Swithin's in the Village centre. Some of the facilities of the Village include 2 excellent Public Houses, a Village store and Post Office, restaurants, doctor's surgery, nearby golf club and leisure facilities at Woodbury Park and a bus service operating between Exmouth and Exeter.

From Exeter, take the A376 Exmouth road. At Clyst St George, take the B3179 to Woodbury. In the village centre, turn left into The Arch. Proceed for approximately 500 yards and immediately before the War memorial on your left, turn right into the Private Drive, and Littlefield can be found at the top.
