Description
This substantial “barn style” family home is situated in approximately a quarter of an acre plot of woodlands and grounds, nestling in a rural location, yet within easy access of the village of Kentisbeare and M5 for commuting. The accommodation comprises a quite outstanding open plan, vaulted living space, recently re-fitted kitchen, three bedrooms, one with en-suite, a stylish family bathroom, storage areas and two versatile, generously proportioned mezzanine rooms. Outside, the property benefits from gated driveway parking, along with an area of level lawn and a quite charming area of private woodland, and the Uffculme School bus collects from outside the gates. An early viewing of this exceptionally spacious and well located family home is strongly advised.
Situation and Amenities

The nearby country town of Cullompton provides High Street shops and two supermarkets, whilst the motorway intersection facilitates rapid commuting south to the cathedral city of Exeter and north to the county town of Taunton. The property lies at the foot of the Blackdown Hills, an area designated as being of outstanding natural beauty.
