Hensons Drive, Westleigh, EX16

A Beautifully Upgraded Four-Bedroom Detached Family Home with Stunning Countryside Views

Nestled within the sought-after hamlet of Westleigh, one of four charming hamlets forming the parish of Burlescombe, this exceptional four-bedroom detached home occupies an enviable position in a quiet cul-de-sac. Enjoying far-reaching views across the beautiful Devon countryside and situated within the highly regarded Uffculme School catchment area, this superb family home offers the perfect blend of village living, modern convenience, and excellent connectivity.

Originally constructed in the late 1980s, the property has been significantly enhanced and lovingly modernised by the current owners, including the creation of a spacious principal bedroom suite, upgraded bathrooms, contemporary finishes throughout, and beautifully landscaped gardens.

The Accommodation

Upon arrival, the property immediately impresses with its attractive frontage. A generous driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles and leads to the garage, whilst the well-maintained front garden is bordered by mature planting.

Stepping inside, a welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the quality found throughout the home. Natural light floods the space via a sun tunnel above the landing, enhanced by a contemporary glass and stainless-steel balustrade staircase.

The cloakroom has been stylishly fitted with a modern white suite, whilst attractive tiled flooring flows seamlessly through to the kitchen.

The spacious kitchen/breakfast room enjoys views over the front garden and has been thoughtfully designed with an extensive range of fitted units, generous work surfaces, display cabinets, and space for an American-style fridge freezer, dishwasher, oven and washing machine. There is ample room for a breakfast table, making this a true hub of the home.

A particular benefit is the enlarged utility room, created as part of the garage conversion. This practical space provides further storage, additional work surfaces, sink unit, and space for laundry appliances while retaining useful garage storage to the front.

To the rear of the property lies the superb lounge, a bright and welcoming room centred around an attractive wood-burning stove set within a feature fireplace. Large windows frame the delightful garden and countryside views beyond, whilst double doors open directly into the conservatory.

The conservatory serves as an excellent dining and entertaining space, comfortably accommodating larger family gatherings and enjoying panoramic views across the garden. Double doors provide direct access onto the patio, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

Completing the ground floor is a versatile additional reception room currently utilised as a snug and home office, offering flexibility for modern family requirements.

First Floor

The first floor continues to impress with four well-proportioned bedrooms and two beautifully appointed bathrooms.

The principal bedroom enjoys elevated views across the surrounding countryside and benefits from a stylish contemporary en-suite shower room featuring a large walk-in shower with rainfall head, vanity storage, and quality fittings throughout.

Bedroom two is a generous double room overlooking the rear garden and countryside, whilst bedrooms three and four are both excellent family bedrooms enjoying views over the front aspect.

The luxurious family bathroom has been extensively upgraded and comprises a deep panelled bath, separate shower enclosure, vanity wash basin, WC, and heated towel rail, all finished to an excellent standard.

Outside

The south-east facing rear garden is a true highlight of the property. Thoughtfully landscaped over two levels, it provides an idyllic setting for family life and entertaining.

Immediately adjoining the conservatory is a spacious paved terrace, ideal for al fresco dining and summer gatherings whilst enjoying the stunning countryside backdrop. A large raised flower bed and attractive planting add colour and interest throughout the seasons.

Steps lead down to the main lawned garden, offering plenty of space for children to play, keen gardeners to enjoy, or simply to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings. Mature borders, established hedging, and uninterrupted views across the Devon countryside towards the Blackdown Hills complete this wonderful outdoor space.

Location

Westleigh is a picturesque rural hamlet offering a wonderful sense of community whilst remaining highly accessible. The property lies within the catchment area for the outstanding Uffculme School, one of the area's most sought-after educational establishments.

The award-winning Grand Western Canal Country Park is within easy walking distance, providing miles of scenic towpaths, wildlife, and recreational opportunities.

Despite its peaceful setting, the property is exceptionally well connected. Junction 27 of the M5 is nearby, providing convenient access to Exeter, Taunton, and beyond. Tiverton Parkway Railway Station offers direct rail services to London Paddington in approximately two hours, making the location ideal for commuters and those seeking a balance between country living and modern convenience.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented and substantially improved family home in one of Mid Devon's most desirable village locations.
