House For Sale £295,000
FOR SALE BY PUBLIC AUCTION ONLINE ( *unless sold previously ) ON WEDNESDAY 6 SEPTEMBER 2023
AUCTION PRICE GUIDE: £295,000 FREEHOLD
An attractive, detached, grade II listed Georgian residence full of character and charm located in this highly sought after village between mid and north Devon.
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Highfields is a large, detached house built in the reign of William IV at the end of the Georgian architectural period. With nearly 2,400 square feet of accommodation this is a large dwelling, ideal for a family.
In need of some modernisation and improvement, the layout of Highfields is both practical and characterful. The ground floor features four separate reception rooms including breakfast room with cast iron range and exposed brick walling. Off the kitchen is a cloak/utility room and office or fourth reception room (formerly the dairy). Off two landings on the first floor are four bedrooms, three having Victorian fireplaces, and there is an old servants’ staircase leading down to the office.
There is also a bathroom with WC and a further separate WC. The cream on the cake of Highfields is the superb attic. Accessed by a proper staircase and divided into two rooms, one a bedroom, it features a high ceiling, painted beams, exposed stone walling and a wood burning stove. There are two attractive windows at each gable end.
Outside, Highfields has a driveway on which it is possible to park two cars in tandem (there is a pedestrian right of way over this drive for next door). At the back of the house is an attractive cobbled courtyard on the far side of which is a very large, two storey building/former barn measuring over 1100 square feet. It maybe possible to park a small car in the barn. With power and light and water, the ground floor has a delightful cobbled floor. Stepladder access to the first floor/old hayloft leads to a large and high room which could be an excellent studio (subject to any consents that may be required).
Witheridge is a very popular and pretty village with medieval parish church, public house/restaurant, newsagents, post office/general store, a charming café, and a doctors’ surgery and primary school. It has a thriving community. Situated halfway between Tiverton and South Molton, there are regular bus services including to Barnstaple and Exeter.
To locate the property from Tiverton, proceed along the B3137 through Nomansland. The easiest way to find the house for the first time is to park in the village car park, then walking turn left at the post office/shop and Highfields will be found about 20 metres along on the left hand side.
