Description

This expansive five-bedroom family residence is situated on approximately five acres of secluded grounds, offering a unique opportunity for renovation and modernization. Nestled in the tranquil landscapes of East Devon National Park, the property guarantees privacy with no immediate neighbors, while remaining conveniently close to the charming coastal village of Beer. The nearby coastal towns of Sidmouth and Lyme Regis, along with the market towns of Honiton and Axminster, are all accessible within a 15 to 20-minute drive, providing a range of local amenities and attractions such as The Donkey Sanctuary and River Cottage HQ. The interior boasts generous living spaces including a large sitting room that opens into a sunlit dual-aspect sunroom overlooking beautifully maintained gardens. Additional areas for relaxation and entertaining include a formal dining room, playroom, and conservatory. The kitchen/breakfast room is adequately sized for family needs, complemented by essential utility spaces including a boot room and cloakroom. The upper level offers versatility with three bedrooms and a family bathroom leading from the main landing. The principal bedroom connects to an additional landing with two more bedrooms—one featuring an en suite—making it ideal for guests or multigenerational living. An external entrance provides private access to part of the upstairs, complete with its own fenced patio area; this presents the potential for a self-contained annexe pending necessary planning permissions. While some updating is required, this property holds significant promise for those looking to create a large family home in a sought-after rural setting. Outside, you will find ample parking via a private driveway among the expansive grounds that include well-tended gardens largely laid to lawn alongside mature trees and shrubs for added privacy. With nearly three acres designated as woodland, seclusion is assured. A larger-than-average garage offers secure parking or storage options while an additional outbuilding presents further potential uses. This property is connected to mains electricity and water with oil-fired central heating. Standard broadband services are available in the region.
