DESCRIPTION Farmcote is a very deceptively spacious period house located in the heart of the picturesque rural village of Ashreigney, close to the village green and ancient parish church. The property contains excellent well proportioned 4 bedroomed family accommodation with character features (the most notable being ceiling beams with supporting timbers in the living room), with parts of the house having origins believed to date back some 400 years. The house benefits from modern day comforts too, having a sizeable modern fitted kitchen with polished granite work tops, mains gas central heating, and most windows have uPVC double glazed units. There is a fully enclosed level garden at the rear designed with minimal maintenance, plus a garage adjoining the neighbouring property.
Included in the sale is a paddock which we are informed extends to 2.76 acres. It is situated about 0.8 of a mile from the property (a very short drive or pleasant country stroll!). The paddock has vehicular access, is virtually totally level, and is absolutely ideal for ponies & horses, or a wide range of other possible uses.
Properties with land at this price level rarely come on the open market, and we therefore advise an early inspection to avoid disappointment!
ASHREIGNEY has an ancient church and the village itself is one of the areas most picturesque villages situated about 18 miles from Crediton and 15 miles from Barnstaple, and is surrounded by some of Devon's loveliest countryside. It has a thriving local community and we understand that there is a regular bus service to Chulmleigh, Barnstaple and Crediton. The small town of Chulmleigh is located about 4 miles to the east, and is a thriving old market town set amid rolling hills and unspoilt farmland with a surprising range of shops, primary and secondary schools, health centre, library, public houses, golf course, riding stables and even an Indian restaurant. The picturesque North Devon coastline with its magnificent surfing beaches is about 20 miles away and the breathtaking scenery of the Exmoor national park is within a short drive.
DIRECTIONS From Crediton - Take the A377 main road in a north-westerly direction towards Barnstaple for about 15 miles. Turn left at Bridge Reeve as signed to Ashreigney and follow the road for about 2.5 miles until arriving in the village. Proceed into the centre of the village and Farmcote will be found on the right hand side, before you reach the Village Green and the church.
