A classic, Victorian semi-detached house lying in a quiet backwater of this sought after village, with views to the Blackdown Hills. Perfect location for commuting with quick access to Taunton, Exeter and Tiverton Parkway station (Paddington in 2 hours).

Collingdale is a good, solid, stone house, believed to date back to around 1830 and offering four large principal rooms, typical of the Victorian era. The accommodation was further extended to the rear in the 1930's with a large kitchen, and third bedroom and bathroom upstairs, and the exterior has since been rendered. Our clients have refurbished the property over the last five years in a sympathetic style to provide charming and very comfortable living, perfect for a young family or perhaps a professional couple, seeking Devon village live in a convenient location for easy commuting.

The approach to the house is via a pretty, walled forecourt and a small front porch, ideal for kicking off wellies, and leading into the tiled entrance hall. Stairs lead to the first floor and either side, doors to the large reception rooms, both with stripped antique floorboards, and each with a fireplace. The sitting room is decorated in a rich blue and with a Victorian fireplace, is a very restful room, perfect for winter evenings or cooling off in the summer, within the thick stone walls. The dining room is fitted with a wood burner and has plenty of space for a large dining table and chairs, and sofas for relaxing after dinner. The kitchen lies beyond and is fitted in a classic, light cream Shaker style with plenty of cupboard storage, oak work surfaces and an island unit with a breakfast bar. Integral appliances include an electric oven, gas hob and splashback, with extractor hood over, and a dishwasher, and there is space for a large fridge/freezer. A uPVC door leads to the rear courtyard and garden.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, two large doubles and a single, with the principal room having a superb range of fitted wardrobes along one wall, and both bedrooms 1 and 2 with cupboards over the stairs. The third, single room is currently used as a home office and has a lovely outlook over the garden and rolling countryside in the distance. From the landing there is a separate WC, and the bathroom has been fitted in a contemporary, white style, with a shower over the bath and glazed screen.

Outside, an access lane to the right of the house gives way via a gate to the rear, enclosed courtyard and garden, offering some off-road parking and the original garage, great for storage or a workshop. Beside the garage, there is a very utility store and an outside WC, useful for the gardener! This all gives way to the lawn, with pretty borders, and at the end of the garden, attracting good sunshine throughout a summer day, the decked sitting area, great for barbecues and al fresco dining. From the first floor rooms, there are lovely, distant rural views and the rear garden adjoins pastureland, offering peace and seclusion.
