Balls Corner, Burrington, Umberleigh, Devon, EX37

Offered to the market for the first time in years this property has a real sense of charm and homeliness that only comes from someone owning it for 10’s of years. The accommodation offers the chance for someone to update as required but is perfectly liveable as is. Set back from the road a gated path leads through the lawned front garden to the enclosed glazed entrance porch. Beyond the front door is a welcoming entrance hall with under stairs cupboard and stairs to the first floor. The sitting room having a south westerly orientation offers a lovely environment with stone fireplace with inset multi fuel stove and shelving to either side. A sliding door leads into the conservatory which really is the place to be to enjoy the outlook down the garden to the fields and woodland beyond. Much of the remaining ground floor is taken up by a T shaped dining room, family room and kitchen all interconnecting through wide arches. The kitchen has a range of wall floor and drawer units on 3 sides in light oak with associated work top, space for a dishwasher and providing the heating and cooking for those that wish to be traditional is an oil-fired Rayburn. On a cold winters day nothing beats the warmth thrown out by these. A four-ring hob with oven under sits on the opposite side. The rear hall has a cloakroom off, utility cupboard and part glazed door to the rear and side of the house.

From all the first floor the rural outlook really comes into its own with a large window at the top of the stairs overlooking the fields to Exmoor on the horizon as does the window from bedroom three. Two double bedrooms overlook the rear garden to the fields and woodland beyond, and one has a range of bedroom furniture comprising cupboards and dressing table in situ. Also, within this room is a storage cupboard and a cupboard with the hot water cylinder in. Rounding off the accommodation is a bathroom with three piece suite and shower over bath.

Outside
A garage with up and over door is found to the rear and side of the house in a block of four, the others belonging to neighbouring properties.

Garden
A lot of care and attention over the years has gone into creating a lovely environment out front and out back. A large circular bed sits amidst the front lawn providing a strong focal point. At this time of year, a very established Clematis makes a colourful statement along the low height front wall.
A sitting area beside the conservatory provides a good vantage point to just sit and soak up the sun and sounds of nature whilst overlooking the extensive rear garden. Another established clematis runs behind the conservatory. Behind the garage block is a generous sized vegetable plot with greenhouse fruit trees and seasonally overgrown beds. The rear garden provides a wonderful colourful backdrop with established plants shrubs to this delightful home.
