SITUATION

The Willows is a lovely country property which has extremely spacious and adaptable accommodation in a wonderful setting.

The property is believed to have been built in the 1960s originally as a single storey dwelling but was extended by the present owners some years ago to include a fabulous two storey extension, the result of which is a greatly improved and enhanced expanded property now offering tremendously adaptable accommodation with the principal rooms so positioned to take advantage of the fabulous outlooks over the gardens, grounds and open rural countryside beyond.

Internal features include a very generously proportioned kitchen/breakfast room with Rayburn which also provides domestic central heating. A 27' x 14' (8.23m x 4.27m) sitting room and a fine dining room. All of these three rooms have direct access onto a balustraded decked terrace which runs almost the entire length of the property resulting in a fine property for entertaining and alfresco dining with a glorious country backdrop. The master bedroom has been orientated in such a way so as to take full advantage of the views and there are also double doors leading out onto a first floor balcony taking in those fine views.

The accommodation has been arranged so that a good proportion of the original single storey accommodation, which has its own independent access, could very easily be altered to create a separate annexe for dependent relative or simply as teenager/children's area.

This property, although occupying a rural setting, is by no means isolated, there being three other properties occupying secluded positions relatively close by and of course the property is within a short walk of the A396 road from Tiverton to Exeter.

Overall this is a very generously proportioned family property which offers extremely flexible accommodation suiting purchasers of a wide variety, particularly those who enjoy country living but need accessibility.

The garage workshop may offer potential for someone who wishes to work from home (consents may be required).

OUTSIDE

The property can be approached from two directions: firstly from the Burn Valley Road, signed to Butterleigh from the A396 Exeter to Tiverton road, the driveway (to be fully made up very shortly) snakes across the level lawned area and then over and onto a small bridge over the stream and then on to the extensive parking and turning area and garaging, etc: the secondary access is from the rear from a different lane running off the A396 passing through Higher Burn and then on to the rear of the property and the parking and turning area as previously described. (The agents reccommend that prospective viewers should check before visiting the property in order to ascertain whether the new primary driveway is complete.)

The gardens and grounds which surround the property are principally laid to easy to maintain lawns and grass area transected by a brook running through the grounds with bridges both pedestrian and vehicular providing access thereto. In the far corner there is a mature pond together with a very good sized timber built summer-house with decking, also great for entertaining.

Directly adjoining the property, as previously mentioned, there is a very extensive timber decked area which runs almost the entire length of the property incorporating ambient night lighting and easy steps to the gardens and grounds. On the far side of the property there is a further useful timber store and further grassed area and it is here where the oil storage tank is located. On the opposite side of the garden there is the aforementioned extensive gravelled parking and turning area leading to the DOUBLE GARAGE: 23'10 x 21' (7.26m x 6.4m) which has quadruple folding doors at the front, windows to the side and rear. Stainless steel wash basin. Electric water heater. Ample power points. Fluorescent strip lighting. Extensive work benching and the added benefit of an inspection pit.

NB: There is a public footpath which runs out at the far extremity of the grounds and to the rear of the double garage block. We are informed that it is extremely rarely used and even when it is it is non-intrusion.
