House For Sale £800,000
Surely one of the finest, comparatively modern country homes to be found in the Culm Valley, having been greatly extended and updated in recent years. Laurel House enjoys an unrivalled country setting, enjoying far reaching all-round views, whilst being less than half a mile from highly popular Kentisbeare Village and the school bus to the highly regarded Uffculme School. This family home offers extensive ground floor accommodation, providing an impressive sitting room, elegant vaulted drawing room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility and cloakroom, with rooms enjoying an exceptional outlook. The first floor provides two en-suite bedrooms, a family bathroom and two further double rooms. An undoubted feature must surely be the extensive mature grounds, which have been added to by the present owners, with the acquisition of an adjoining small field, which now provides further formal gardens, kitchen garden and delightful wildflower meadow. An inspection is absolutely vital to appreciate all that this superb home has to offer.
Delightly located in the tiny scattered hamlet of Wressing surrounded by open countryside with an abundance of paths providing country walks whilst being within about half a mile of Kentisbeare village with its thriving primary school, post office stores, church and public house. The nearby country town of Cullompton offers a range of high street shops, two supermarkets and motorway intersection facilitating rapid commuting south to the cathedral city of Exeter and north to the county town of Taunton. The comparatively central Mid Devon location places the picturesque national parks of Dartmoor and Exmoor together with the north and south Devon coastlines all within a modest car journey.
