Property description
A unique detached house with exceptional living space in an edge of village location. Open plan living dining room. Kitchen. Utility. Cloakroom. 4 Bedrooms. Study/ Bedroom 5. Bathroom. Open fronted double garage. 0.55 Acres.
The Glen occupies an enviable position near the centre of the popular village of Chardstock close to the Devon/ Somerset borders. Chardstock falls inside the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is renowned for its unspoilt surrounding countryside. A few miles to the south the countryside gives way to East Devon World Heritage coastline with dramatic cliffs and stunning beaches. Axminster and Chard, both within 4 miles, offer a good range of day to day facilities including shopping, banking, schooling and a mainline station at Axminster provides a service to London Waterloo.
Taunton, the county town of Somerset, lies some 19 miles to the north, and provides a further range of educational and cultural amenities, mainline London Paddington station and M5 Motorway access. Within Chardstock is a well respected primary school, village hall, church and public house, the George Inn. From the property there are a variety of quiet country lanes and footpaths from which to enjoy the enchanting scenery.
The Glen is a unique detached house which has been refurbished to an architect's design and offers generous and adaptable accommodation with an exceptional living space. The house sits centrally in beautiful private gardens of just over half an acre.
The ground floor accommodation is in part open plan, the super living room is most attractively divided by inspired furniture arrangement into areas, with an attractive brick fireplace in the centre providing a focal point. Views of the garden are enjoyed from floor to ceiling windows and doors, which lead out onto the west facing decking and French doors lead out to the rear patio and garden. The kitchen has natural slate flooring and has been recently refitted with a range of bespoke hardwood cupboards, a Rangemaster Elan cooker, Bosch dishwasher and large freestanding Samsung fridge/freezer. These appliances are available by separate negotiation. At the rear of the kitchen is the utility room with cupboards, sink, space for a washing machine and cloakroom. Accessed from the entrance hall, at the other end of the ground floor is an en suite double bedroom and study or bedroom 5.
The first floor rooms are accessed from a long galleried landing over the ground floor living area and with 3 large Velux windows providing wonderful light and views. There are 3 double bedrooms, 1 with cloakroom en suite, and family bath and shower room with contemporary white suite and neutral tiling.
The property is accessed by a private gravel drive which provides parking for several vehicles and a timber constructed open fronted double garage. The gardens are mature, private and mainly laid to lawn and lie to the front and rear and are interspersed with a variety of trees and shrubs. To the rear is a ornamental pond with observation deck. There are apple trees in the rear garden which extends to a large and open lawn area suitable as a small paddock or extended garden. The grounds amount in all to 0.55 acre.
