Balls Corner, Burrington, Umberleigh, Devon, EX37

This is a home with an immediate sense of continuity and comfort, reflecting many years of careful ownership and offered to the market with no onward chain. Set back from the road, the approach through the front garden and enclosed glazed porch creates a pleasing arrival, leading into a welcoming entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor and a useful understairs cupboard.

The sitting room is a light and cosy reception space, offering a comfortable room for day to day living. At the opposite end of the house, the kitchen and dining room provides a more sociable hub to the home, with space to gather around the table and enjoy views out over the garden. The kitchen is fitted with matching wall and base units and includes an Aga, an additional electric oven and hob, and an inset sink. A useful storage cupboard adds practicality, while the connection to the garden gives the room a pleasant outlook.

Beyond the kitchen is an inner porch with a store room, and from here the layout continues to a utility room with WC, hand wash basin and plumbing for white goods, giving the house useful secondary space for everyday routines.

On the first floor there are three bedrooms, including two doubles. The bedrooms enjoy a lovely outlook across the surrounding countryside, which adds strongly to the feel of the house and its setting. A three piece shower room completes the first floor accommodation.

Outside, the rear garden is a particularly attractive part of the property. It is long, enclosed and mainly laid to lawn, offering plenty of room for gardening, outdoor seating or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. There is also a patio area, two greenhouses, storage sheds and a selection of mature shrubs and plants, creating a garden with both space and established character. A garage with up and over door is located to the rear and side of the house within a block of four.
