Property description:
Looking for a project? A large detached former farmhouse offering
characterful and versatile accommodation. Internally, the house is
currently split into main house with separate self contained annexe
but the layout could be re arranged to provide one large five
bedroom house if preferred. The accommodation comprises main house
three bedrooms and family bathroom, hallway, large lounge,
farmhouse kitchen, large utility room, cloakroom and store. The
annexe comprises two bedrooms and shower room, lounge and kitchen
with it s own entrance. The property is in need of some work but
has some lovely features throughout, with original fireplaces
including a large Inglenook and exposed ceiling and wall beams.
There are plenty of storage areas and cupboards throughout the
house making best use of all the nooks and crannies. Outside, there
is garden on two sides with a yard and store room at the back and a
gated driveway. The property has been let in recent years and would
benefit from a new owner who is keen to make their own mark and
turn the property back into a loved home once again.
The house is situated in Musbury village, which offers many
facilities, including a shop and post office, petrol station and
car repairs, village pub, Church, primary school and regular bus
services. The village offers easy access to nearby towns, the
railway station at Axminster, less than 3 miles away, with trains
to London Waterloo and Exeter and good road links. The Jurassic
coast and pretty Axmouth Harbour is just over 3 miles to the south.
For those who enjoy walking, Musbury is well positioned with some
very good walks from the door step, in particular the walk up to
Musbury Castle, an Iron Age Hill fort from where there are great
views over the Axe Valley.
The accommodation, all measurements approximate, comprises

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The property was left in a poor state by the previous tenant and as
a result now requires renovation in many areas. The current heating
system has been de commissioned. The electricity was cut off but
the vendor assures me that it can be reconnected easily. There is a
pedestrian right of way over the parking area for the owners of the
adjoining cottages to reach Maidenhayne Lane.
