House For Sale £695,000
This is a large and versatile house with an annex, occupying a slightly elevated position with far reaching views, backing on to fields and all in such a convenient location.
The house is located in the popular village of Halberton which lies about halfway between the busy market town of Tiverton (3½ miles) and junction 27 of the M5, and Parkway train station (2½ miles). Tiverton offers a range of amenities with a good shopping centre, sports facilities including a Golf course, and excellent schooling including Blundells independent school. The village offers great community, within which is a village hall, church, excellent farm shop, a pub and a primary school. There are some lovely walks along the towpath of the canal, which is accessed along a track located to the side of the house.
The house itself was built in the 1930’s and has been extended to offer a very comfortable family home, with the features that you would expect of this era, such as large bay windows and high ceilings. The extension added a large kitchen breakfast room and a utility on the ground floor and two double bedrooms, both with en-suites, on the first floor.
The vehicular access to the property is nicely tucked away from the main road, and a gated drive offers plenty of parking and gives access to four garages, which have been used as workshops for a number of years. Steps lead up to the front door where you will also find separate access to bedroom suite 4 – this would be a great for a teenager, or even Airbnb.
The front door opens into an attractive entrance hall, with stairs to the first floor and a cloakroom tucked away around the corner. The sitting room lies at the front of the house and the south facing bay window creates a lovely light space. An open fireplace provides a lovely focal point and a cosy atmosphere on a cooler evening. A door leads into a spacious study which has sliding doors out to a patio.
To the rear of the house is a large farmhouse style kitchen dining room with a gas fired Aga, an electric double oven and space for a fridge freezer. The laundry needs are taken care of in the utility room. A door leads out to a secluded rear patio which backs onto open fields.
There is also a separate dining room, currently used as a snug, which is a particularly relaxing room, with an outlook over the garden and an open fire for a cosy glow!
The first floor offers four double bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms. The bedroom at the front of the house has some wonderful views through the large bay window at the front and with built in wardrobes there is plenty of storage. A spacious landing offers a large airing cupboard and has doors to a bathroom at the front of the house, a double bedroom at the centre and at the rear, is another double with an en-suite shower room. From the landing an inner hall, which could be closed off from the rest of the house, leads to a double bedroom and an en-suite bathroom. This area of the house also has independent access, with a door leading to the outside.
Below this wing of the house, is the utility room with a useful store behind it. You will also find an additional useful store here.
Outside, you will find that the garden offers a high degree of privacy with secluded seating areas and vegetable gardens and a variety of useful large sheds. There are four garages at the front of the house, used as workshops and stores. A mature hedge at the front of the house creates privacy and there is a nice area of lawn here which is currently home to a productive vegetable patch but could equally be returned to lawn so that a football could be kicked about!
The Annexe
For anyone looking for additional accommodation for a relative or to generate an income, the annex offers a great deal of potential.
At the moment the space is configured as one bedroom, but this could easily be changed to offer two bedrooms.
The annex is heated with a combination of electric night storage heaters and a wood burning stove.
The kitchen dining room offers plenty of storage and space for a dining table and chairs, and in turn opens through to the living area. A door leads into the bedroom but as mentioned a continuation of the partition wall could create a second bedroom if required.
The bathroom is sizeable and whilst it currently offers a shower cubicle, there is plenty of space in here for a full-size bath.
A door leads out to an enclosed south facing courtyard.
