Description

This charming, unlisted period property is situated on the rural outskirts of Offwell village within easy access of Honiton and the mainline station to London Waterloo. The house is also in the catchment area for the highly regarded Colyton Grammar School, which rate consistently in the top ten within the country. With over 2,700 square feet of accommodation, the house offers flexible living, which might appeal to multi-generational families or offer potential holiday letting income. Set within walled gardens of around one third of an acre, with a large barn providing further potential, the house and gardens offer delights at every turn. The house boasts some beautiful features, in particular the stunning large stair case and bright landing, sash windows, fanlights, curved leaded dormer windows and vaulted ceilings in two of the bedrooms.

The house has the ability to be separated into two private sections with lockable doors on both the ground and first floors, enabling the creation of two separate living spaces.

Within the walls of the garden are remote controlled double gates providing a vehicular entrance to the parking area as well as a separate pedestrian gate. This ensures complete privacy and security for the entire property. The large stone and brick barn is set against a wall near the parking area and provides over 700 square feet of space, currently used mainly for storage but offers the potential for conversion to additional accommodation (subject to consents).

Offwell is a pretty village set well away from the A35 but convenient enough for ease of access to Honiton (just 2.5 miles away) where there is a mainline station with regular services to London Waterloo and to Exeter St. Davids. At the heart of the village is a beautiful Church and primary school. The village also boasts a sports field, social club and large village hall.
