DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION

Leigh Pool is conveniently situated just outside the very sought after village of Silverton and yet 'away from it all' in a small cluster of three former barns, once belonging to Leigh Barton.

The house is quite unique and retains much character, with much exposed wood, and yet has a spacious, contemporary feel. It also has the benefit of being dual aspect (having windows on both sides) making it very bright and airy. The accommodation is laid out over three floors, with the lower floor accommodation, due to the topography of the land, actually at ground level at the rear of the house. This means that it has ample light from the windows and doors overlooking the old farm courtyard. This pretty area is now mainly laid to lawn and whilst not owned by Leigh Pool, the property does have rights of way over it, to gain additional access to the country lane beyond.

The main access to the property is however, over a gravelled drive, which affords parking for several vehicles and leads to the extensive gardens and grounds.

The grounds, which amount to approximately three acres are a combination of terraced lawns and a gently sloping paddock, all of which have quite staggering views across the Exe Valley.

Due to the versatility of the accommodation the house will appeal to those with a large family, those who perhaps want to accommodate relatives or those who would like to make a separate holiday cottage or flat. The property is both light and airy with a marvellous country kitchen and 2 charming sitting rooms, plus a 'cinema' room. The master bedroom is an excellent size and has its own en-suite, whilst the other 5 bedrooms vary in size and shape.There is also an enormous room which overlooks the courtyard, which is presently used as a games room/gym.

The property has its own water supply via a bore hole which is treated via UV light in the boiler room and so benefits from no water rates to pay!

DIRECTIONS

From Exeter, take the A396 in the direction of Tiverton, passing through Stoke Canon and Rewe. Pass by the sign to Silverton and the National Trust property 'Killerton House' and after about a mile take a right turning in the direction of Chitterley Barns. Keep on this lane for approximately half a mile and the entrance to Leigh Pool will be found on the right after passing a farmhouse and some barn conversions.

Outside

Leigh Pool is accessed by a short gravelled driveway, with parking for two vehicles, which leads in turn to a charming courtyard that affords further parking and amenity space. Extending away from this front courtyard are the main gardens and grounds.

These consist of several large, terraced lawns, which lead up to the main sloping paddock. The views from the terraces and paddock are astoundingly beautiful with the Exe valley unfolding before you - truly the perfect place to relax or entertain. The lower gardens are well planted with shrubs and there are plenty of different areas for tables and chairs to enjoy the views. There is a large separate gravelled entrance to the field and a large shed at the foot of the paddock making it suitable for an equestrian family.

As agents, we firmly believe that Leigh Pool offers a unique opportunity for a purchaser looking for a large, comfortable home that lies within exceptional countryside, yet has wonderful access to both Tiverton and Exeter and would therefore, highly recommend an early viewing.
