" Opportunity to enjoy the pleasures of gardening and be eco-friendly in the heart of Mid-Devon. A large detached period house (formally 2 farm workers cottages) set in approximately 4 acres of stunning gardens and paddock with no near neighbours, ample parking and outbuildings. Large area of vegetable/fruit gardens including poly tunnel, orchard and wildlife pond, 2.5 acre paddock, formal gardens, stable and outbuildings.

Formally two farm workers cottages, Rose Aish was knocked into one many years ago offering a large detached period property set in just over 4 acres of land with no near neighbours. The house is spacious and has further options to extend into the attached outbuildings to the West end if more living space was required (stp). The current owners are very mindful of the environment and through the use of wood-burning stoves to heat the house and water (with solar water heating too) and the land providing much of the produce consumed – it offers a terrific opportunity to live “The good life”.

The property is full of character and exposed timbers can be found in most rooms on both the ground and first floors. The house also benefits from mainly hardwood double glazing. Outside the property is a gardener’s dream. A formal garden with specimen trees and shrubs, living willow house, fruit trees and a large sweeping lawn will be found to the South of the house with a small spring which feeds the bog garden. There is a 2.5 acre paddock (currently grown for organic hay) which would suit a multitude of uses including livestock/equestrian use. The remainder of the land is set out as an orchard with wildlife ponds, vegetable and fruit growing areas, a poly-tunnel, large chicken run and a useful composting area.

As well as ample car parking and room for a boat/caravan etc there is a timber open fronted garage, wood store and stable plus an old cattle shed which makes ideal storage or could be replaced with a more modern building. "
