Description
A magnificent, Grade II listed, Georgian house, nicely tucked away in this sought after village, with extensive parking and a large, landscaped garden. Quick access to the M5 and Tiverton Parkway Station (London Paddington in 2 hours), ideal for commuting.
This impressive Georgian house was built in 1797 and offers charming and very comfortable family accommodation with the grandeur one would expect of the era, with fine original features retained. The anticipation builds on approach to Beech House and the ornate portico over the front door. On entering, the hallway impresses immediately with its spiral staircase and balustrade rising up to the second floor with a rosewood rail, hand-worn over the centuries, with attractive suspended lighting above.
The two reception rooms lie either side of the hall, both a good size with shuttered, sash windows and the sitting room with a brick lined fireplace with an ornate mantel surround and housing a multi fuel burner as a fine feature. The dining room was originally solely a reception room but now has a bespoke kitchen, beautifully crafted in natural wood, to one side to enable the chef to chat with those sat at the dining table or keep an eye on the kids doing their homework! The kitchen has Smeg appliances, including a gas hob and double oven, a Belfast sink unit, shelving, cupboard storage and an attractive faux, carved mantel surround.
The original kitchen is now an impressive utility room and scullery, with plenty of cupboard storage, work surface, space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher, and a useful downstairs cloak room at one end. A side door gives access to the terrace, ideal for access when entertaining.
The beautiful staircase leads to the bedroom accommodation, arranged over two floors, with four large double bedrooms, one with a wardrobe, two with cupboards and all with chimney breasts, which may well have original fireplaces within them, which could be exposed, if desired. All of the rooms enjoy lovely views over the garden and the trees and gardens of the Victorian Grantlands Estate in the foreground and in the distance, rolling fields up to the ridge and woods of Gaddon Down.
The first floor has the family bathroom which is attractively fitted with a tiled floor and a white suite including a freestanding, rolltop bath, with eagle claw feet, and a glazed shower cubicle. From the stairway, there is a large walk-in store cupboard. The second floor also has the fifth bedroom, currently used as a study, with a good broadband connection.
Beech House is approached via a gravel drive giving access to ample parking in front of the large, double garage. A gate and path lead past the garden studio, which could be used as a home office, workshop or treatment room, currently used for storage. In front of the house, there is a delightful terrace enjoying an enviable southerly aspect, perfect for relaxing in the sunshine or entertaining friends with a barbecue. The terrace gives way to a formal lawn with pretty, mature, flower and shrub borders and a crazy paved path leading to areas of a lower secret garden, peaceful and secluded, with established planting, a stream and pond and large trees between which a hammock can be slung to while away the time and boost mindfulness. The whole garden has been designed and landscaped with ease of maintenance in mind.
The property lies a short step from the centre of the popular village of Uffculme, which has a good range of local amenities including a primary school and the renowned, Ofsted rated 'Outstanding' secondary school, Uffculme School. There is a local pub, 'The Ostler', a Nisa mini-market with post office, doctors' surgery, cafe and veterinary practice. The Magelake Hall and playing fields are popular with families and there is a lovely walk along the River Culm from Coldharbour Mill to Bridge Street or beyond to Culmstock, for the more energetic.
Regular bus services run through the village and the market towns of Tiverton and Cullompton are a short drive away. Exeter, Taunton and Tiverton Parkway Station are all within easy reach via the motorway and make this a very convenient location for commuting.

Agent's notes: Beech House is now semi-detached, with the neighbouring Beech Cottage, originally being the kitchen, scullery and accommodation for the house staff when it was one property. It was split into two in the 1970's and there was an extension built on the opposite side to replace the kitchen that was lost when the house was divided. Beech House was Grade II listed in 1987.
Beech Cottage has a right of vehicular access, but no parking allowed, over the first part of the drive to access their garage. Currently, this is not exercised as they only use the garage for storage, not parking.
Our clients have maintained the house very well and in the last year or so have completely redecorated the exterior. This summer, the whole roof has been completely refurbished, using the original tiles, due to the listing.
Please see the floor plan for the dimensions. The internal photos have been taken with a wide-angle lens to show more of the rooms.
