Burridge, Axminster, Devon, EX13

An outstanding detached country house peacefully located in a small rural hamlet on the Devon/Somerset borders and set in grounds of just over 1 Acre with long range views. EPC: Band D

For those that do not aspire to low ceilings and medieval timberwork, this is the perfect country home offering exceptionally well proportioned accommodation with a South facing main aspect and far reaching views. The original part of the house is believed to date from the 1940's, but in recent years it has been upgraded, significantly extended and now forms a great contemporary family home, the heart of which is a magnificent reception room with log burner and bi-folding doors to the garden. The kitchen is superbly equipped with high quality integrated appliances that include twin ovens, microwave, wok burner and coffee machine, together with access to the plant room/gym and separate utility. Many of the rooms are double aspect including a cosy sitting room with log burner and the study, also with wood burner and bespoke furniture. A fine oak staircase leads to the main landing which is light and airy with far reaching views, also enjoyed by the four bedrooms. The master suite boasts a vaulted timbered ceiling and 'juliet' balcony, comprehensively fitted dressing room and a superb bathroom whilst the remaining three bedrooms are all exceptionally generous as is the family bathroom.
The property occupies a slightly elevated position set in gardens and grounds of 1.06 of an acre approached from the country lane over a sweeping driveway to an extensive parking area and oak framed triple garage/car port. The gardens are largely informal with lawns surrounding the house, a fine paved terrace/barbeque area and mature hedges for privacy.
A former stable block provides very useful storage with two loose boxes and two garden stores.

The property occupies a peaceful and slightly elevated position surrounded by glorious unspoilt countryside, just inside Devon on the southern extremity of The Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and within about 0.75 mile of the traditional village of Chardstock. This thriving village offers excellent local amenities with a Post Office/general store, popular primary school, Church and a community hall that hosts a variety of activities. Chard is about 2 miles distant catering for most daily needs and the small market town of Axminster about 8 miles to the South with the benefit of an intercity rail service (London Waterloo). The World Heritage Jurassic Coast is about 12 miles distant at Lyme Regis and the Cathedral City of Exeter with international airport about 25 miles to the West.
