Broad View is a charming detached residence with a rich history, believed to have been constructed around a century ago. Featuring traditional rendered elevations beneath a slated roof, this property offers breathtaking, panoramic vistas of the surrounding fields and woodland hills, particularly the scenic Axe Valley to the south. Inside, the house preserves numerous characterful elements such as well-sized rooms with lofty ceilings and large windows that invite natural light. Noteworthy spaces include an impressive stair hall adorned with a patterned tiled floor and period staircase, along with a spacious double-aspect drawing room featuring an ornate fire surround and wood burner. A second reception room equipped with another wood burner flows into a dining area that opens via patio doors to the outside. Having been under single ownership for over 25 years, the home is now primed for refurbishment and modernisation, presenting an excellent opportunity for buyers eager to personalize a period property set in idyllic countryside.
Outside, Broad View is accessed through a timber 5-bar gate leading to a driveway accommodating multiple vehicles. A pathway guides you to the rear where there is a functional timber outbuilding offering two sheds and an open store. The well-maintained gardens are split into two main areas on the south and east sides of the house, primarily laid to level lawns interspersed with shrub beds and specimen trees—perfect for enjoying those spectacular Devon views.
Located at the edge of Blackdown Hills National Landscape, this home enjoys proximity to beautiful walking trails while remaining conveniently accessible. The A35 is just over a mile away, with the popular village of Kilmington nearby providing amenities such as an excellent farm shop, pubs, school, churches, and community hall. Market town Axminster lies approximately 2 miles distant offering various facilities and rail connections to London Waterloo. Additionally, Lyme Bay's World Heritage Coast is about 8 miles away along with Exeter city reachable within 26 miles for broader shopping options and transport links.
