Description

Available for sale with no onward chain, The Olde Well House is beautifully presented having just been improved throughout by the current owners including a brand new kitchen, and is ready for new owners to move straight in. The property is located in the centre of Chudleigh with a very pleasant outlook over the Church and its grounds on the other side of the road. The versatile accommodation extends to a generous 169 square metres or 1,810 square feet over three floors which could be utilised in a number of different ways depending on your requirements. With up to 5 bedrooms and plenty of reception space it would make a great family home. Or alternatively, with rooms allocated differently it would be ideal for a couple, especially if looking for a low maintenance “lock up and leave” type property.

There are many interesting character features throughout the property thought to date back to the 1800’s such as wooden beams, exposed stone walls, arched doorways and window seats.

Of the 5 bedrooms the main bedroom benefits from an en suite shower room, and the two upper bedrooms have their own dressing rooms. There is a large family bath and shower room. From the large living room there is a lovely outlook over the Church grounds and beyond, and from the upper floors there are also very pleasant views to the rear. There is a generous dining room next to the new kitchen, plus a utility room. Off the back of the house is a private courtyard garden with access to the parking area where there are two allocated parking spaces.
