An early inspection of this unique home in the grounds of Grantlands is strongly recommended.

Enjoying a tranquil tucked away setting in ever popular Grantlands within a few minutes walk of Uffculme centre with its Co-Op, Village Post Office Stores, primary school and the Ofsted “Outstanding” Uffculme Secondary School.  Uffculme lies at the foot of the Blackdown Hills, an area designated as being of outstanding natural beauty.  The nearby M5 facilitates rapid commuting south to the cathedral city of Exeter and North to the county town of Taunton.  The surrounding countryside offers a wealth of rural   pursuits and the comparatively central mid Devon location places the picturesque national parks of Dartmoor and Exmoor together with the north and south Devon coastlines all within a modest car journey.
