Smallridge, Axminster, Devon

Rural bungalow in outstanding village position with glorious country views, double garage and established gardens of 0.5 acre (0.2 ha).

The Property - Bramblings is a delightful single storey dwelling which dates from the 1960s and has been subsequently extended to provide spacious accommodation in excess of 1,750 sq ft, including the double garage. The majority of the principal rooms enjoy views in a mainly southerly and westerly direction over the beautiful undulating countryside surrounding the property. Despite the rural location, the village centre of Smallridge is less than a quarter of a mile away which means that you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Overall, Bramblings provides comfortable and flexible accommodation, well worthy of inspection.

Accommodation - To the north side of the bungalow is the main entrance which leads into an L-shaped hallway which you will find two storage cupboards and access to the loft space. The loft has been boarded and is accessible via a pull down ladder. A dormer window provides plenty of natural light. On the left of the entrance is the main reception room with open fire and patio doors which lead out to the terrace. There are two double bedrooms located off the inner hallway, along with the shower room. These rooms form part of the extension and could offer an excellent living space for a relative. There are two further double bedrooms and a smart family bathroom within the original bungalow design. To the westerly elevation is the 23ft kitchen/dining room, fitted with a wide range of units, ample space for a good size dining table and an adjoining double glazed conservatory which provides a sheltered space to enjoy the views and gardens. The double garage has integral access from conservatory.

Outside - The property stands in a lovely garden in the region of 0.5 acre (0.2 ha) from which there are exceptional views over the adjoining rolling farmland. There is a large sweeping area of lawn with mature fruit trees and shrubs as well as a productive vegetable garden. Flanking the property is a long paved patio, with a pond and rockery. From the lane side the driveway drops down to the front elevation and the double garage. There is a second gated driveway providing additional parking. The original timber garage has been repurposed as a garden store.

Situation - Bramblings is positioned on the southern outskirts of the village of Smallridge along a no through lane. The surrounding area is renowned for its rural activities with an abundance of footpaths and bridleways., and forms part of the National Landscape (formerly known as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). The villages of Smallridge and All Saints seamlessly link into one, where you will find a public inn, primary school and active village hall.
