The Causeway, Mark, TA9

With no onward chain, surrounded by beautiful gardens, with countryside views, this delightful, well-loved and maintained four-bedroom village home has been in the same family for 40 years.

Ashdene’s nostalgic well-proportioned rooms with their fireplaces and high ceilings stem from its early 20th century roots. Over the years it has been extended and improved to meet modern expectations, creating an open-plan kitchen/breakfast room with a large bedroom above which is currently used as a fourth reception room. The kitchen was fitted in 2023 with a range of attractive, pale coloured wall and base units with integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, Bosch electric oven and microwave, and gas hob. There is plenty of storage and space and plumbing for a washing machine. The principal ground floor reception rooms sit either side of the entrance hall. The sitting room is a bright, modern room with a contemporary electric fire and large bay window whilst the dining room is a more intimate room, decorated in rich colours with a period fireplace with gas fire. A smaller room, also on the ground floor, is currently used as an office. The four bedrooms are upstairs and share a large family bathroom which is fitted with a bath, separate shower cubicle, wash-hand basin and WC. The largest of the bedrooms (currently a sitting room) extends out over the kitchen with glazed doors opening to a Juliette balcony embracing the fabulous rural outlook. Two of the double bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes, another houses the airing cupboard, whilst the smaller, fourth, versatile room, currently a single bedroom, could become a dressing room, a hobby room or perhaps a second study.

Pretty, mature gardens flank the property at the front and rear and are full of colour and texture. A driveway to the side runs down to the single garage and provides parking for a number of vehicles. The level back garden is mainly laid to lawn with paved pathways, seating areas, a kitchen garden, a handy potting area, a shed, a store, a outside WC, and an outbuilding ideally suited for a home office, gym or studio. The rural feel of this lovely property at the rear, with its lovely countryside views, is contrasted against its practical position, situated on Mark Causeway allowing for easy vehicular access to commuter routes and to village amenities.
