Description

This delightful and immensely characterful Georgian Grade II listed family home is believed to have originally been part of the former Mill with its stone and Flemish bond brick exterior elevations under a natural slate roof with particularly fine large sash windows to the front. The interior exhibits the charm and character of the era. Oil central heating is incorporated with the ground floor offering a fine through lounge, separate dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, study/home office and useful utility/boiler room with W.C. The pretty staircase leads to four double bedrooms and a family bathroom, whilst the skilful remodelling of the attic space provides a tranquil haven, previously used as an artist’s studio, but well suited to sleepovers, etc. The rear garden enjoys immense privacy, with the small leat meandering through. An early inspection is recommended to those seeking a highly individual semi-detached home of character in a hamlet setting within Uffculme School catchment.

Situation and Amenities

Situated in the Dulford hamlet about a mile from the ever popular Kentisbeare Village with its Post Office stores, primary school, Wyndham Arms Public House and Parish Church.  The school bus for Uffculme Secondary School departs from the nearby.  The country town of Cullompton offers a range of High Street shops, together with two supermarkets, doctors surgeries, award winning butchers and Bakehouse Coffee Shop/Bistro, library and sports centre.  Kentisbeare lies at the foot of the Blackdown Hills, an area designated as being of outstanding natural beauty.  The surrounding countryside offers a wealth of rural pursuits and the M5 at Cullompton facilitates rapid commuting south to the cathedral city of Exeter and north to the county town of Taunton.  The comparatively central Mid Devon location places the stunning  national parks of Dartmoor and Exmoor together with the north and south Devon coastlines all within a modest car journey.

To the front of the property, the current owners park a single vehicle, whilst a pedestrian pathway leads to the side of the property to the rear garden, which has currently undergone extensive works with a newly installed patio, providing an ideal area for alfresco dining and entertaining, whilst also housing the gas cylinder and a Timber Garden Shed. Newly installed steps lead up to the principal garden which is divided into two distinct areas, one of which is predominantly laid to lawn with the small mill leat meandering at the bottom, under the Garden Bridge, creating a charming rural backdrop. There is a further area of decking providing another space for alfresco dining and entertaining and enjoying some lovely views over rooftops to the countryside beyond. This also houses a Hexagonal Gazebo and Seating. The garden is fully enclosed by wrought iron fencing and flanked by some lovely established shrubs. It is also worth noting that the current owners rent a further area of garden from a neighbour and it is understood that this arrangement could further continue.
