Dalwood, Axminster, Devon, EX13

A delightful 3 bedroom detached period cottage in the sought after village of Dalwood.


This wonderful rural home which has been extended over the years offers generous accommodation for modern living but retains many of its period features. Sitting in an elevated position on the outskirts of the village, Holmes Knapp benefits from magnificent panoramic views over the village and surrounding countryside.

The accommodation includes on the ground floor, a lounge with woodburning stove, study, bathroom, kitchen/ breakfast room and access to what is now used as a family/dining room. This space was once an artist study which benefits from large windows and stairs up to a mezzanine area with access to the roof terrace. This space could have potential for an annexe or guest accommodation.

On the first floor a landing leads off to two double bedrooms with the principal bedroom having an en-suite shower room and a further single bedroom.

The property further benefits from double glazing and electric heating.

The property occupies a delightful rural position approximately 0.60 miles to the west of the centre of the village of Dalwood, lying on the southern periphery of the Blackdown Hills. Dalwood is a highly regarded village affording a thriving local community with its parish church, village hall and public house.

The larger centres of Axminster and Honiton lie approximately 4.6 miles and 5.6 miles distant respectively with both affording an extensive range of everyday banking, shopping and schooling facilities. Despite its rural position the property enjoys easy access to the surrounding districts and further afield with access to the M5 motorway available at Taunton (J25) or Exeter (J29) whilst main line rail services are also available at Taunton (Paddington) and Axminster (Waterloo).
