Eggesford, Chulmleigh

Description

This beautiful Victorian Villa is peacefully positioned in the heart of the Mid Devon Countryside and nestles comfortably within its grounds of over an acre, providing a high degree of privacy and seclusion. Having remained in the same ownership for many years, the property is now in need of some general modernisation, although a small number of improvement works have been undertaken in recent years. Accessed over a long driveway, there is ample parking, which in turn allows for gated access on to the generous plot, with a gorgeous tree lined boundary screening the property from the prevailing wind, creating a real sense of peace and tranquillity.

Whilst the property is in need of some modernisation, it offers a huge degree of options for further enhancement, improvement and extension – subject to the necessary consents. The spacious, light and airy accommodation includes two large bay fronted receptions rooms, kitchen, utility room and a study/home office, whilst the first floor features four well proportioned double bedrooms enjoying views of the grounds and is ideal for a young family, keen to take on the country lifestyle whilst retaining excellent links to larger villages and towns and transport hubs. A ‘once in a lifetime, opportunity.
