Smeatharpe, Honiton, EX14

A substantial 5 bed detached modern family home in a quiet village location

Halfstone is a substantial detached house constructed, as its
name implies, half of local flintstone, the remaining external
walls of colourwash render under a tile roof. The property is
in excellent decorative order and offers exceptionally
spacious accommodation of 2 reception rooms, kitchen
breakfast room, utility, cloakroom, 5 bedrooms, 2 with ensuite shower room, and family bathroom. The double garage
has been converted to provide a workshop, well equipped
with power points and light, and store, but would be easily
returned to the former if required. The property enjoys the
benefit of oil-fired central heating, with most radiators being
fitted with individual thermostats and modern doubled
glazed windows and external doors. The kitchen is
comprehensively fitted with Shaker style units and benefits
from a central island too.

Halfstone lies in the heart of the Blackdown Hills National
Landscape, in the village of Smeatharpe, midway between
Honiton (9 miles) and Taunton (12 miles). The nearby village
of Upottery, just over 3 miles southwest, offers a wellregarded primary school, church and popular Sidmouth Arms,
while Churchinford has a doctors’ surgery and the excellent
York Inn. Taunton provides extensive shopping, leisure and
education facilities, together with access to the M5 (J25) and
a mainline rail service to London Paddington. To the south,
Honiton offers further amenities, a mainline rail link to
London Waterloo and access to the A30 for Exeter and the
airport. The south coast at Sidmouth is approximately 20
miles away, with a network of quiet lanes, footpaths and
bridleways immediately accessible from the property.

The property is approached from the country road onto a
private shared drive, leading to the property where there is a
wide tarmac driveway and parking for several cars. There are
gardens to the front and rear laid to lawn and enclosed with
close fencing. A paved patio is located at the front of the
property with access from the kitchen, with a further patio at
the rear accessed from the living room and the rear lobby.
