Whilst Honiton, also on the London Waterloo line, has a twice weekly market, a range of shops, supermarkets and leisure facilities.

Accommodation - Constructed in 2014, the property has been thoughtfully designed to create a bright, spacious and energy-efficient family home. Modern sustainability features include solar panels, two air source heat pumps, underfloor heating throughout, a mechanical ventilation and heat recovery system (MVHR), and integrated smart home technology. Beautifully maintained throughout, the home provides contemporary accommodation extending to six bedrooms.
The impressive entrance hall immediately creates a striking first impression, with its double-height ceiling, expansive glazing and elegant curved staircase featuring glass balustrades leading to a galleried first-floor landing.

The principal reception room is a generously proportioned square living space, centred around a wood-burning stove and complemented by bi-fold doors opening onto the rear terrace and gardens. The heart of the home is the substantial open-plan kitchen and dining area, fitted with a sleek contemporary kitchen, central island and breakfast bar, together with further bi-fold doors connecting seamlessly to the outdoor entertaining spaces. Adjoining is a good sized and very useful utility room.

A versatile secondary wing of the property offers excellent potential for multi-generational living or guest accommodation. With its own independent entrance, this area includes a sitting room opening to the front, a fitted kitchen and a ground-floor shower room. A private staircase leads to a first-floor bedroom suite with shower room and Juliet balcony overlooking the gardens and surrounding farmland. This bedroom is included within the property's total of six bedrooms.

The first floor of the main residence is arranged around the spacious galleried landing, complete with fitted shelving and glazed balustrades. The principal suite comprises a large bedroom, walk-in dressing area, en-suite bathroom and access to a private balcony enjoying views across the gardens. An adjoining study provides an ideal home-working space.

Additional accommodation includes another bedroom suite with shower room, a further bedroom and a family bathroom.
