DESCRIPTION
Butcombe is a beautifully presented and substantial detached rural home, completed in 2006 as an individually designed build, and offering over 4,300 sq ft of versatile accommodation arranged over four floors.
Tucked away amidst the unspoilt rolling farmland of Mid Devon, Butcombe enjoys panoramic views and a wonderful sense of privacy, all while being within easy reach of the
thriving village of Morchard Bishop and the market town of Crediton.
Approached via a quiet private lane, a gated brick entrance opens onto a gated, gravelled drive providing generous parking for numerous vehicles. A large double garage with high clearance and electric door is ideal for housing a motorhome or larger vehicles and includes a rear workshop. The property benefits from three phase electricity, allowing for further expansion or the installation of an EV charger if desired.
ACCOMMODATION
Inside is presented to a superb standard, with flexible and spacious accommodation perfectly suited to family life, home working or multi generational living.
Of particular note is the lower ground floor, which enjoys plenty of natural light and a private entrance, kitchen living area, and an en suite bedroom ideal as a self contained
annexe, guest suite or for Airbnb use.
The main entrance leads into a welcoming hallway, with a shower room WC nearby. The principal reception room is triple aspect and filled with natural light, featuring a woodburning stove and views over the surrounding gardens.
The impressive kitchen dining room was designed and fitted by Country Kitchens, featuring a striking Red Rayburn, polished granite work surfaces, and a full range of integrated appliances. This sociable and functional space flows into a delightful garden room to the rear, with a charming outlook
overlooking the gardens.
Upstairs on the first floor are three well proportioned double bedrooms, all with en suite facilities. The principal suite benefits from both a bath and a separate shower. The top floor provides a further bedroom or home office and useful eaves storage.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.6 acres and have been thoughtfully landscaped to maximise both beauty, nature and functionality. The level lawns are interspersed with mature planting and hedging, creating a sense of space and privacy. Timber boardwalks lead to the main entrance, offering a unique approach and doubling as charming seating terraces ideal for enjoying the summer sunshine and garden views.
There is a discreetly positioned polytunnel for those interested in productive gardening, alongside composting areas and custom built micro mesh aviaries suitable for chickens or
ducks.
A wildlife pond lies within view of the property, adding both visual appeal and biodiversity to the grounds by attracting birds and native wildlife throughout the seasons.
LOCATION
Butcombe lies about two miles from the popular village of Morchard Bishop, a classic Devon village with a strong community spirit. Amenities include a primary school,
community run shop and post office, and the well regarded London Inn pub. The nearby town of Crediton offers a wider range of services including supermarkets, cafes, schools, and a railway station with regular connections to Exeter and beyond.
Surrounded by the rolling hills, wooded valleys, and rich agricultural landscape of Mid Devon, Butcombe offers a rare combination of seclusion, space, and accessibility ideal for
those seeking an exceptional lifestyle home with scope to adapt to a variety of needs.
