Situation
Eggesford is beautifully set in the heart of the Mid Devon countryside, close to Eggesford Wood, which provides a number of scenic walks. There is a branch railway, which offers direct access into Exeter to the South and Barnstaple to the North. Well situated near to a number of nearby villages, there are ample shops and public houses within a reasonably short journey.
The location is ideal for those seeking a peaceful rural retreat, yet within reasonably easy reach of excellent facilities nearby. Exeter is around 20 miles distant, whilst access to the A30 at Whiddon Down is within a 20 minute drive. The village of Chulmleigh also offers a junior and senior school.
Description
This beautiful Victorian Villa is peacefully positioned in the heart of the Mid Devon Countryside and nestles comfortably within its grounds of over an acre, providing a high degree of privacy and seclusion. Having remained in the same ownership for many years, the property is now in need of some general modernisation, although a small number of improvement works have been undertaken in recent years. Accessed over a long driveway, there is ample parking, which in turn allows for gated access on to the generous plot, with a gorgeous tree lined boundary screening the property from the prevailing wind, creating a real sense of peace and tranquillity.
Whilst the property is in need of some modernisation, it offers a huge degree of options for further enhancement, improvement and extension subject to the necessary consents. The spacious, light and airy accommodation includes two large bay fronted receptions rooms, kitchen, utility room and a study/home office, whilst the first floor features four well proportioned double bedrooms enjoying views of the grounds and is ideal for a young family, keen to take on the country lifestyle whilst retaining excellent links to larger villages and towns and transport hubs. A once in a lifetime, opportunity.
