Willand Old Village, Cullompton EX15

The Elms, Old Village Road, Willand

The Elms is a distinguished Georgian village residence, set within the heart of Old Willand Village and believed to date back approximately 250 years, with earlier period origins.

The property occupies a well-established position along Old Village Road, its elegant symmetrical façade and columned portico creating a strong sense of arrival. The house displays the proportions and balance characteristic of the Georgian period, combined with a natural evolution over time that adds both depth and versatility.

Internally, the accommodation extends to approximately six bedrooms, arranged across well-proportioned and thoughtfully connected spaces. The principal reception rooms are located to the front of the house, including a particularly elegant drawing room with high ceilings, period detailing and a feature fireplace with inset log burner. A separate snug provides a more intimate setting, with exposed beams and a further fireplace.

The central entrance hall is of generous scale, featuring decorative tiled flooring and a staircase rising through the core of the house, establishing both flow and presence. A secondary staircase further enhances the practicality of the layout.

To the rear, the kitchen and dining room form the natural focal point of the home. Generous in scale and centred around an island unit, the space opens directly onto the garden via French doors, allowing for a strong connection between internal and external living. A traditional Royal oven remains in situ and may be recommissioned, providing a distinctive feature within the room.

A secondary wing, understood to incorporate the original coach house, offers a degree of separation from the main residence. With its own entrance and reception space, it lends itself to a variety of uses, including ancillary accommodation, a home office suite or potential income generation, subject to any necessary consents.

Further accommodation on the ground floor includes a guest WC and a utility room. From the utility room there is access to a substantial storage room, which offers scope for alternative use, such as the creation of a wine cellar, depending on requirements.

On the first floor, six bedrooms are arranged from a wide landing, including a well-proportioned principal suite with en suite facilities. The remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests or workspace. The accommodation is further supported by a family bathroom, a notably spacious shower room with potential to serve as an additional bathroom, and a separate WC.

Externally, the property benefits from a gated driveway leading to a generous parking area set away from the road. Two substantial outbuildings are positioned within this space, with further potential for development, including the creation of a double garage, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The rear garden is level and predominantly laid to lawn, enjoying a westerly aspect and a high degree of privacy. A terrace adjoining the house provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Within the grounds is a separate two-bedroom barn conversion, known as Little Elms, which is available by separate negotiation. This offers further potential for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or income. Please enquire for further details.

Properties of this scale and architectural presence are rarely available within Old Willand Village, and The Elms represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a period home of both character and adaptability.
