House For Sale £725,000
An incredible detached country residence with huge potential sat in about 1.2 acres now in need of modernisation.
Whitehayes is a spacious family home offering very generous, light-filled flexible accommodation, set in a secluded yet extremely accessible location with beautiful views. This property is an extremely rare opportunity and early viewing is highly recommended.
The ground floor accommodation is accessed from a welcoming reception hall and includes a large triple aspect sitting room with a wood burner within an inglenook fireplace and full-height glazing incorporating French doors to the gardens. There is also a generous dining room with an inglenook, plus a kitchen/breakfast room with a range of fitted units and integrated appliances. An inner hall gives access to a single storey wing comprising of a fitted through utility room and two further bedrooms, one currently configured as a study. This part of the house could potentially be reconfigured to create a self-contained annexe with a kitchen, reception room and bedroom, if required (subject to planning). Upstairs there is a spacious landing which leads to an enormous triple aspect main bedroom with ample built-in storage, window seating and an en suite bathroom. There are also two further well-proportioned bedrooms on the first floor, serviced by a family bathroom.

AGENTS NOTE

Whitehayes is situated in a secluded yet accessible location approximately 1.5 miles from the village of Stockland, within the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The surrounding picturesque countryside comprises working farms, deciduous woodland and open common land with a wealth of wild flora and fauna, footpaths and winding lanes. Stockland has a thriving community spirit centred around the village hall with a children’s play area, cricket pitch and tennis court, and offers a range of amenities including a church, a thriving community-owned public house and a popular primary school. Other schools in the area include Holyrood Academy, Chard, Queen’s College and Wellington. The nearby lively market town of Honiton offers a range of High Street and independent shopping, cafés, supermarkets, restaurants and public houses, together with easy access to East Devon’s beaches and leisure activities. The town’s mainline station offers a direct rail link to London Waterloo and is minutes from the A30/A303, giving access to the M5 and the national motorway network.
The property has a fantastic approach through twin iron gates over a gravelled driveway which provides private parking for a number of vehicles and gives access to the detached double garage. The property's pleasant gardens surround the house and are bordered with mature trees with woodland on two sides providing privacy and seclusion. The gardens are laid mainly to lawn with a large natural pond overlooking wonderful views and a paved terrace with a raised formal pond; altogether providing the ideal space for entertaining and al fresco dining. In total, the gardens measure approximately 1.2 acres.
