The property offers bright, spacious and versatile accommodation which includes a Ground Floor Bedroom ensuite, where there is disabled-friendly access and which also futureproofs. Other notable features include quality bathroom and kitchen fittings and underfloor heating to the Ground Floor with solar heated hot water. There are naturally finished oak doors throughout, and engineered oak floors in the Entrance Hall and Kitchen/Dining/Garden Room, as well as carpets elsewhere. The detached double garage has an electrically operated roller door, a large storage loft above – which could possibly be converted to an extra room (subject to planning permission). There is a detached Studio building, currently utilised as a Therapy Room, but suitable as an office or similar. There is also a very attractively landscaped garden, which is secluded. The property is considered ideal as a principal residence, 2nd home, UK base or holiday let and is well worthy of an internal inspection.

Outside - The property is approached from the lane via a 5-bar gate with running wheel for ease of opening and mounted on a pair of brick pillars. There is then a brick paved driveway providing ample parking and turning space, as well as potential to accommodate motorhome/caravan etc. This leads to the DOUBLE DETACHED GARAGE with electric roller door, power, light and water connected, personal door and extensive storage under the eaves, which may be possible to reconfigure to provide a room (subject to any necessary planning permission). This is reached currently by a retractable wooden ladder. The property is bounded from the lane at the front by Devon bank with stone retaining wall. There is a similar stone retaining wall to the left-hand boundary, topped by a flower bed. To the right of the property there is a COURTYARD with two pedestrian access points from the FRONT GARDEN. Within this is a whirligig washing line and access to the DETACHED STUDIO – currently utilised as a Treatment Room. This building is by Shields Buildings of Taunton. It presents timber-clad elevations beneath a metal roof with double glazed windows and a high degree of insulation. Power and light are connected, including electric wall heater. Beyond this is access to the REAR GARDEN, where there is an extensive TERRACE in Indian sandstone, which we understand is non-slip. This leads on to a circular lawn with central eating apple tree and circular path around, which is bounded by well-established flower borders and the rear garden is fenced enclosed. There are external security lights, as well as a water tap nearest to the personal door of the garage.
