3 bed detached house for sale

Awliscombe, Honiton, Devon EX14

A charming detached converted chapel set in a delightful rural location on the edge of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The accommodation comprises a generous lounge/dining room, kitchen, downstairs shower room, conservatory, three bedrooms, and a family bathroom. Outside are garden stores, lawned gardens backing onto open fields, and parking.

Converted in the 1990s, this former chapel has remained in the same family for several years and has been refurbished in more recent times. Constructed of traditional local stone with some brick elevations under a manmade slate roof, the property enjoys a lovely outlook across adjoining farmland.
A covered entrance porch leads via a glazed door into the main chapel room. This generous and characterful space is centred around a large woodburning stove and opens directly into the conservatory.

The kitchen features a high, pitched ceiling and is fitted with a range of units, an electric double oven, and hob. There is also a downstairs WC and shower room.

On the first floor are three good sized bedrooms overlooking the front garden, one of which benefits from a fitted cupboard, along with a recently refitted family bathroom.

A timber gate opens onto a gravelled parking area and level lawn, with a pathway leading to the front entrance and across the southeast facing elevation.
At the rear of the garden is a timber framed workshop/store which requires some repair; the cladding could possibly to fibre cement/asbestos.

A pedestrian bridge crosses the beautiful slow flowing stream to a further large lawned area which backs directly onto open fields. A raised terrace enjoys views back towards the chapel and surrounding countryside.

The property occupies a glorious rural position with countryside views, situated on the southern edge of the Blackdown Hills aonb, a short distance from the popular village of Awliscombe.
