4 bed semi-detached house for sale

Hollocombe, Chulmleigh EX18

If you’re looking for country living without complete isolation, Kitand House offers a brilliant balance of internal space, gardens and rural surroundings, all tucked away down a quiet no-through lane just off the centre of the hamlet of Hollocombe.

Surrounded by rolling Mid Devon countryside, the setting is exactly what many buyers hope to find, peaceful, green and full of walks, yet with the nearby villages of Winkleigh and Chulmleigh both offering excellent day to day amenities. It’s the sort of place where life naturally slows down a little.

The house itself offers extensive and flexible accommodation with four bedrooms (master ensuite) and flexible reception spaces, making it ideal for family life, working from home or buyers simply wanting room to spread out.

Over the years, the property has been significantly improved and updated. The kitchen and bathrooms have been modernised, flooring replaced and the overall finish brought up to date while still keeping a warm and welcoming feel throughout.

The large sitting room is a particularly impressive space, filled with natural light and enjoying lovely views across the garden and surrounding countryside, while the wood burner creates a cosy focal point in the colder months.

The kitchen/breakfast room runs along the rear of the house and is well fitted with plenty of storage and workspace, flowing naturally into the utility area which adds practicality for day to day family life.

Outside is where this property really comes into its own. The gardens extend to around a third of an acre and have clearly been a labour of love for the current owners, beautifully maintained and thoughtfully arranged with lawns, planted borders, seating areas and productive spaces all combining to create a wonderful outdoor environment.

There’s also an excellent range of outbuildings including a heated timber studio, workshop and storage sheds, giving huge flexibility for hobbies, working from home, storage or growing projects.

The property benefits from a garage along with off-road parking beside and in front of the garage, plus an additional parking space nearby.

Overall, Kitand House is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy proper Devon country living with space inside and out, all at a price point that remains incredibly appealing for what’s on offer.

Morchard bishop is a popular village, sitting amid a network of more than 60 footpaths and bridleways including the Two Moors Way, for which it is the mid-way point. Famous for having the longest row of thatched, terraced cottages in England, Morchard is a popular village not least because of its C of E primary school (ofsted Good), excellent pub, doctor’s surgery, and community run shop. There’s a thriving community scene offering a variety of events and activities ranging from the monthly produce market to sporting clubs. Nearby is Morchard Road where you can catch a train on the scenic Tarka Line to Barnstaple or Exeter. For a wider range of shops and amenities Crediton and Exeter are 7-miles and 15-miles away respectively. A regular daily bus service from the village also provides access to both these towns.

Winkleigh is home to The Mad Butcher, the 750-year-old Winkleigh Fair, and is the only village in Devon with the remains of two 12th century castles. The centre of the village features winding, thatched-lined streets leading to the market square around which are dotted several shops and amenities, as well as the well-regarded Kings Arms pub. In recent years the village has expanded to include modern housing developments taking advantage of the village’s position amid a good network of roads that quickly link it with towns further afield. Buses also make use of the road network and regular services run to Barnstaple, Exeter, Hatherleigh, and Okehampton, the latter of which has the nearest supermarkets to Winkleigh. It’s proximity to Chulmleigh Academy (ofsted Good) is another lure, as is the village primary school (ofsted Good). While the annual Winkleigh Fair unites the community in a week-long calendar of events, the thriving community centre, village hall, and sports centre, ensure there’s usually something going on daily and weekly.

If entering Hollocombe from Winkleigh, head down the hill and look out for “Shute Wood” entrance on your left, on the opposite side of the road is a red post box and immediately after this, a small lane heads off to the right. Follow this lane and the parking is in front of the garage on your left (it’s the right hand garage).
