House For Sale £525,000
A beautiful 3 / 4 bedroom detached family home dating back to the 1840's.
Set within this popular village with a lovely 'National Trust' inspired garden, 7 Turnpike is something quite special and must be seen!
7 Turnpike is something special - I fell in love with the property as soon as I approached the front door, and I couldn't wait to get inside. The property has a prominent position within this popular Mid Devon village. It is a substantial detached family home dating back to the 1840's and there are a wealth of indicators of the property’s age throughout the house, with large windows, stripped wooden doors, ornate fireplaces and picture rails, which all add to the warmth and charm that 7 Turnpike oozes.
Steps lead up to a pretty patio area which really is charming. A perfect place for evening barbeques and dining, it is surrounded by pretty planting and borders and leads directly to the side garden. I really love the front aspect of the house here; symmetrical, prominent and substantial, 7 Turnpike has an extremely handsome façade and offers something quite unique.
There is a handy front porch, so useful for countryside living, and a perfect place for coats and boots. The front door opens into a traditional hallway with stairs to the first floor and doors leading to all principal rooms. To your right, an additional reception room – presently used as a very nice home office. This room is lovely, with dual aspect windows and views over countryside, it is the perfect place to sit and work. Similarly, this room could be used as an extra bedroom, an additional lounge, snug or playroom. There is a pretty fireplace in the corner and the room feels relaxing and calm. There is a shower just along the hallway, which could serve this room if it were needed as an extra bedroom or guest room.
The kitchen/dining room is the real heart of the home. A great family space, it has room for a large table and chairs, and I can imagine this being a super sociable space for entertaining or the children doing their homework whilst you are busy in the kitchen. There are large built in cupboards and a window looking out onto the garden. The kitchen area is a later addition to the main property yet fuses perfectly, with its bespoke chestnut hand built kitchen. There are integrated appliances including a dishwasher, fridge and freezer and a range cooker (which will be included). There is space to add further workspace/units here if required, but as it presently stands, to me, this is a lovely, practical and warm space and very fitting with the properties charm and era.
The back door leads out to further storage and the utility room – a pretty, traditional outbuilding, with a log store and next door to this, a brilliant utility room. There is plenty of space for all you laundry appliances and work surfaces/units providing extra storage – it could easily double up as a hobby/craft room.
The sitting room has to be one of my favourite rooms here. It is decorated in period colours and has a lovely log burning stove set in a brick fireplace with stone hearth. Another large window floods this room with natural light and again, I found a real sense of calm and tranquillity in this room – I can imagine it being so cosy in the winter months.
Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. All of the bedrooms are generous doubles and feature ornate fireplaces and huge windows and I was really impressed by the space on offer. The master bedroom itself is a substantial room and is next door to the family bathroom, which is rather lovely, having steps down into the main room, an airing cupboard and traditional suite.
From the back door, steps lead up to a private rear lawn. A perfect family space, level and secluded, it is perfect for the children to play. Here you will find a shed and greenhouse and being elevated, the views from here are far reaching; over the canal and, on a clear day, you can see for miles towards the Blackdown Hills and even Sidmouth Gap.
A winding path leads to the side garden, which has been inspired by our vendors previous work with the National Trust. The garden is a real haven for wildlife, with bug hotels, wild areas and plentiful homes for their resident hedgehogs. There is a productive vegetable patch at one end and so many places to sit and enjoy the garden and the view. My favourite space presently has a swinging seat, slightly elevated to enjoy a gin and the evening ambiance.
The side garden is mainly laid to lawn but interspersed with some wildflower beds, pretty planting, established shrubs and fruits trees, including apple, plum and pear.
Gated steps lead down to the garage and side of the house, where there is a useful area for logs or bins – however we are under the impression that previously this was created as a potential site for a lift, so that may be an opportunity here.
The single garage has light and power and next door to this is the tidiest workshop I think I have seen! With a window, power, lighting and even a phoneline, this could be used also for homeworking. It is an excellent space and has a very secure door – I think every man would be thrilled to have a man-cave such as this!
Although the property doesn't have its own parking, the garage is roomy enough for a small car and there is plenty of parking nearby (opposite by arrangement; layby close by and near the canal). Our vendors have never had any trouble parking in their 10 years of living here.
The property sits within the catchment area of the ever popular Uffculme School and what appealed to me is its proximity to the canal, a lovely nature reserve right on its doorstep.
Sampford Peverell is a thriving village and is quite sought after because of the many facilities and community events in the village and its close proximity to junction 27 of the M5 motorway and Tiverton Parkway rail station (London Paddington in two hours!). There is a primary school, toddler group, allotments, doctors surgery, neighbourhood watch scheme, mobile library, church, convenience store and post office, farm shop and so much more. The area is great for dog walking and countryside walks. And all just 10 minutes from Tiverton town and its greater range of amenities.
One of my favourite properties for some time, what I love the most here is the ‘feel’ of the house – as soon as I walked in, it just radiates warmth and love. This combined with the spacious rooms, little glimmers of its history, the large windows, and its sympathetic, timeless décor, it really does equate to the perfect family home in a very sought after village.
