West Foldhay is located approx. 1 mile from the popular Mid Devon village of Zeal Monachorum. It is a wonderful set-up with access off the private lane to gardens, the farmhouse itself, the adjoining 6 acre field and plenty of parking. The outlook is very green, being slightly elevated, there are views over the surrounding countryside and woodlands. The house has been very cleverly extended by the current owners and is now a large, detached and attractive family home, boasting a modern feel amongst the rolling Devon hills.
Internally, there is plenty of space and light with generously proportioned rooms, most taking in those lovely views. The space has been well thought out for family/rural living such as the large entrance porch with plenty of room to take off the wellies and coats before heading inside. The large kitchen boasts a sociable and practical central island which zones the space well. There is room for a Range cooker (current Everhot not included) and the remaining appliances including fridge, wine fridge and dishwasher are all built in. To the rear of the kitchen is a utility with lots of storage and plumbing for appliances plus one of the two ground floor WCs and a very useful home office, which is out of the way of the main living spaces. The two reception rooms are interchangeable, currently with a dining room with woodburner and living room with open fire and with plenty of glass out onto the decking and garden.
On the first floor are 5 double bedrooms, with the master bedroom having a dressing area with built in storage and an en-suite. There is also a Jack and Jill bathroom serving two more bedrooms and a well fitted family bathroom too. Again, all of the room sizes are good and enjoy the views. Due to the overall size of the house, there is also great storage on the landing etc.
Outside, there is a driveway off the private lane which gives access to the parking and gardens. There is ample parking close to the property with a large hard standing and (subject to permissions) the base is in place for a garage or carport. Provisions for power and water have already been made too. There is a lovely composite deck which runs along the front of the house with doors out from the kitchen and living room. The garden then slopes down to the track at the bottom. The field is located to the rear and side of the house (see land plan) and is approx. 6.6 acres. This can be accessed from the drive or there is another gate further down the track (rights of way are in place for access). A private drive is in the process of being finished to the property however, should someone wish to bring a drive in further up the lane, the rights will be in place to do so.
