A detached four bedroom cottage set in a rural location yet offering easy access to Taunton, Honiton and the local village of Hemyock. First time on the market in over 70 years.
This detached four bedroom property built in 1826 comes to the market for the first time having been in the same family for over 70 years. The location of this home is just fantastic being surrounded by fields and set back from a quiet country lane but still accessible to local amenities including a good primary school, access to Taunton, Honiton and Hemyock. The property sits in a large plot c. 0.38 of an acre with the grounds being predominantly to the front of the property all enclosed by a stone wall running parallel with the road and fencing to one side. The property was extended in the late 80's/early 90's adding a shower room, a utility room leading to a dining room/reception room and an additional 4th bedroom and shower room upstairs. The remaining accommodation on the ground floor comprises of a kitchen and two further reception rooms. There is also an attached separate room/study/store with an external entrance door. The property is served by oil fired heating, private drainage, mains water and electric. (please note the private drainage will need to be inspected to understand if it is compliant with current regulations). The property will require some degree of updating but will ultimately offer a super family home in a lovely location.
