The property occupies a delightful rural location enjoying a wonderful countryside setting combined with the convenience of being a short distance from Honiton.

Honiton lies on the southern edge of the Blackdown Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just 10 miles from the stunning Jurassic coast at Sidmouth, itself a natural World Heritage Site. The town has a comprehensive range of independent shops and cafes, as well as two primary schools and secondary schools. The highly regarded Colyton Grammar School is also only a short drive away with a bus service available.

Communication links are excellent with a direct rail service from Honiton Station to London Waterloo, whilst the A30 provides quick and efficient road access to the cathedral city of Exeter. As well as easy access to the M5 motorway. Exeter hosts a main line rail service to London Paddington, an international airport and extensive shopping and leisure facilities. Taunton, the county town of Somerset is approximately 28 miles to the northeast with the A303 and A35 providing alternative cross country road links to London and the south.

Set in just under an acre in total, the property benefits from established landscaped gardens with well-maintained lawns, a variety of shrubs and trees and wildlife pond. There is a raised circular patio area perfectly positioned at the rear of the house to enjoy the rural outlook.

A real feature of this amazing home is its outbuildings. There is a good-sized outbuilding which is divided into four areas internally with two sets of wide timber doors to access one side from a separated gated driveway. This would be ideal for garden machinery such as a ride on mower and a trailer. The rest of the barn can be reached directly from the courtyard. The other spaces are currently used as a table tennis area, a gym and a storage area housing the boiler and oil tank.

The courtyard is entered via an electric gate with a huge amount of parking and access to a large three bay car port.
