Live the good life in this wonderfully spacious semi-detached family home set in a beautifully peaceful location on the edge of Stoodleigh with stunning views and half an acre of gardens and grounds.


Moor View occupies a beautifully peaceful, semi-rural location on the edge of the popular village of Stoodleigh, within walking distance of the pub! The village has a thriving community, a lovely old church, village hall and social club and is situated above the beautiful Exe Valley about 5.5 miles to the north of the market town of Tiverton and 5 miles from the popular village of Bampton. Both centres provide an excellent selection of local amenities with Tiverton offering a wide range of amenities, shopping and supermarkets including an M&S Food Hall. There are many highly regarded primary schools in the area, (the school bus stops at the house!) as well as the renowned Blundell's School in Tiverton. The area offers superb walking, riding and cycling routes with the beautiful Exmoor National Park to the north and the rugged North Devon coastline to the northwest.

Communications are excellent with good access to the M5 motorway via the A361 North Devon link road, with Exeter to the south and Bristol to the north, and Tiverton Parkway railway station provides regular services to London Paddington in approx. 2 hours.

This wonderfully spacious family home has stunning far reaching views and half an acre of beautiful gardens and grounds, perfect for those wanting to grow vegetables, keep chickens and maybe a goat or two! It is one half of a pair of 1920s, semi-detached workers cottages, originally part of Stoodleigh Court estate. The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hall with the original tiled floor and wooden staircase, a study (or bedroom 4) with feature fireplace and bay window overlooking fields, and a delightful open plan sitting, dining and kitchen area with large patio doors opening out to the garden. The sitting room has a woodburning stove and an extensive built-in oak shelving unit and the kitchen is beautifully fitted with ample cupboards, a central breakfast island with electric sockets, granite worktops and built-in appliances including an electric oven, steam oven, plate warmer mircrowave, induction hob, dishwasher and large American style fridge/freezer. Leading off the kitchen is a utility room with fitted cupboards, sink, dog shower, stable door to the garden and separate WC. Upstairs, there are two large double bedrooms, both served by the family bathroom with both a bath and separate shower, a particularly spacious master bedroom with en-suite shower room, fitted wardrobes and glazed doors with a Juliet balcony with glorious views over the garden and surrounding countryside. This bedroom could easily be split to provide a fourth upstairs bedroom, if required.

The extensive gardens create a wonderful setting, adjoining farmland and beautifully landscaped by the current owners. Immediately to the rear of the house there is a large secluded patio area, ideal for dining out in the warmer months. Steps lead up to the lawned garden with a lovely seating area with pergola and useful garden storage. For the green fingered, there are several raised vegetable beds, a fruit garden and greenhouse. A gate leads through to the small paddock/orchard with a substantial timber shed (approx 5.6 m x 3.5m) and further outbuildings, ideal for livestock. Fruit trees include a pear, two apples and a plum.

From the village lane, a driveway leads to a parking area between the house and the garage. A five bar gate gives access to the garden. The garage building (approx 5 x 4.4m) has a remote control electric roller shutter door, light and power connected. External sockets and water. To the front of the property there is an area of landscaped garden with a small pond perfect to enjoy a morning coffee and take in the stunning views.
