Ford Lane is conveniently situated close to the heart of this desirable woodland village with its excellent amenities including a highly regarded Primary School. The property also benefits from being within the Kings School catchment area and is also on the bus route for Colyton Grammar School. The A30 Dual carriageway is also within easy reach providing swift access to the Cathedral city of Exeter, M5 and the coast allowing commuting a viable option from this idyllic setting.
This substantial home has a unique layout with individual character providing highly versatile accommodation to suit most family dynamics and briefly comprises; split level reception hall with cloakroom W/C and a feature arched double door leads to the spacious sitting room. This is a lovely dual aspect room with a feature oriel window framing a pleasant garden outlook. There is a fireplace with inset living flame gas fire and another feature arch in rustic brickwork leading to the dining room with patio door providing access to the sun terrace. A recently refurbished kitchen/breakfast room is well equipped with a range of cream fronted cupboards and drawers at base and eye level complimented by timber effect work surfaces and attractive tiled splashbacks. There are some integrated appliances and room for an American style fridge freezer and Range style cooker, whilst allowing room for a family sized breakfast table and chairs. All the bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned away from the living areas and are of a good size. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and like the principal family bathroom it is fitted with a modern white suite. The current owners converted the original integral garage to provide further accommodation which would be perfect as a separate area for an independent relative and would provide an ideal annexe if required. There is a further en-suite bedroom, sitting room or office and the large utility room would lend itself as the independent kitchen. The property benefits from a modern oil central heating system and double glazing throughout.
Owls Roost is approached via a large driveway which provides ample parking for numerous vehicles including boats, caravan etc. The detached large double garage is a significant addition with room for parking and storage.
The large annexed independent home office is internet connected and could also serve to meet colleagues or customers in a socially distanced environment. Alternatively the room is also connected to services providing the potential of additional accommodation.
The gardens and grounds are another appealing feature approaching half an acre with several seating areas to sit and relax in this idyllic woodland setting. Paved patio areas allow room for outdoor dining/entertaining in the summer months and a large expanse of lawn for children to run and play. There are several mature specimen plants and shrubs providing a range of colour to please any keen gardener.
West Hill is an appealing and individual village with a mini-supermarket at its heart which is open long hours and includes a post office.
