Higher Watchcombe Farm, Shute, Axminster

Delightful three bedroom attached barn conversion with pretty garden, parking and far reaching views over the Umborne Valley.

The Property - The Granary forms part of Higher Watchcombe Farm which was converted during the 1980s and now consists of five dwellings set around the original courtyard. The barn is attached to the Grade II Listed farmhouse and thus is listed through association. Built of stone and white washed rendered elevations this individual property offers plenty of charm and intrigue, not to mention glorious countryside views over the surrounding area and countryside beyond.

Accommodation - The ground floor accommodation has been carefully considered and has been arranged in an open plan design to make the most of the natural light and views. There is a spacious lounge area with beamed ceiling and cottage style kitchen with tiled flooring, a selection of units with wooden work surfacing and space for appliances. There is also a useful pantry cupboard. Beyond the seating area is a small inner hallway housing the linen cupboard and electric boiler. The downstairs bathroom features a three piece suite with electric shower over the bath. To the first floor are three bedrooms, two of which have built in storage.

Outside - The gardens are located to the front of the property and consist of a gated gravelled parking area with steps leading to the entrance and raised terraced seating area. The gardens are lawned with a variety of mature shrubs, young trees and a timber framed studio with electric.

Situation - The small rural hamlet of Watchcombe is set in a tranquil area of East Devon, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with far reaching views over the stunning countryside. The traditional market towns of Axminster and Honiton (both 6 miles) offer all the facilities one would expect, including supermarkets, independent shops, as well as recreational facilities including a sports centre and swimming pool. Both towns are located on the London Waterloo mainline railway. The small town of Colyton has a range of local amenities as well as the renowned Colyton Grammar School. To the south the Jurassic Coast World Heritage site features the popular resort of Lyme Regis with its famous Cobb and sandy beach, as well as the nearby coastal villages of Branscombe and Beer.
