The Tour
3 Ivy Cottages is accessed via an ancient hidden lane, before
turning onto its own 150m private drive, where you come past the
veg patch, orchard and paddock before arriving at the brand new
larch-clad triple garage. Through lawned gardens, gravelled paths
take you to the front door and on into the spacious principal
living space. Flooded with natural light this room reveals dining
and living spaces focussed jointly on the efficient wood burning
stove in the fireplace and stunning views south over fields and the
wooded Gaddon Hill. With underfloor heating throughout, the
polished concrete floors underpin a wonderful balance of character
features like exposed stone walls and modern bespoke joinery in the
birch plywood staircase and fitted shelving.
Through into the kitchen, another generously sized space offers
matching bespoke birch ply units, hiding a full set of A-rated
integrated appliances and topped with more polished concrete in the
form of sleek worktops. From the peninsular unit with induction hob
in the center, you look straight over the garden through a full
wall of triple glazed window. Further stunning views across to the
Blackdown Hills AONB await beyond the garden. A breakfast bar
provides the perfect place to admire these views or keep an eye on
kids playing, whilst a handy back door gives access to the rear and
further outbuildings comprising the biomass boiler, pellet store
and a large block-built garden shed.
Upstairs you’ll find original pine floorboards throughout, and a
landing offering access to three large double bedrooms, an equally
large family bathroom and a loft hatch with ladder to a fully
boarded loft space. The spacious master bedroom has another feature
exposed stone wall, lit by custom LED lighting and further
fantastic views south, as well as plenty of fitted storage and
shelving. On the same side of the building is the second bedroom,
currently used as a nursery but more than capable of fitting a
double bed and also boasting far-reaching views. To the rear of the
house is the third large double bedroom with picture window
overlooking the paddock and rear fern garden.
The family bathroom is a real gem, with a contemporary white
suite providing bath, wash basin, low-flush WC and a generous
walk-in shower with rain head. A heated towel rail and ingenious
hidden cupboard spaces behind a “living” wall complete a delightful
room.
Throughout the house every care has been taken to create a
comfortable and functional place to live. All of the windows have
been replaced with high-spec double or triple glazed timber units,
whilst most of the walls have been insulated, as have the roofs and
floors. There’s a filtered air ventilation system in the loft, and
appropriate breathable materials have been used throughout to
preserve the fabric of the building whilst also making the indoor
environment as high quality as possible. Bathrooms, ceilings and
party walls have also been soundproofed, whilst storage is cleverly
hidden to ensure you can keep the minimalist look even with a busy
family life.
Outside
Back outside, you are spoilt for choice and space. From the low
maintenance front garden terraces, perfect for watching the sunset
on a warm evening, to the main lawns bounded by well-stocked
borders and local-stone gabions, there are ample areas for every
season and activity. On the other side of the lawn is the garage
building, offering a large office room with electric underfloor
heating and wired network connection - perfect for working from
home or even as an occasional 4th bedroom. The office is contained
within the triple garage building, where it sits underneath a
useful full-width mezzanine storage area. This building is a
brilliant versatile space, with a 5m ceiling and light and power
throughout, that could be suitable for a whole host of uses.
Beyond the garage you have over an acre of land, currently
divided into orchard, grass paddock and an extremely large veg
path. Fenced to the neighbouring fields with stock proof fencing,
as well as being bordered by traditional Devon hedge banks, the
paddock would be perfect for livestock or a pony, while the young
orchard offers a variety of apple, plum and pear trees to enjoy for
years to come. Higher up and separated by further hedge banks, the
rabbit-fenced veg patch occupies the prime spot, with views in all
directions, wonderful sunny aspects and yet is sheltered from the
prevailing winds by the landscape and mature native hedging. A
greenhouse here and sufficient space for further horticultural
buildings if required complete a gardeners paradise.
Back up the driveway, there are further hard-standing areas with
parking for 3-4 cars, after which you can walk back past the
neighbouring property and through a pedestrian gate onto an ancient
drovers track that leads down to “Five Fords” and the Woodland
Trust’s “Hunkin Wood”. This hidden gem of woodland and riverbank
meadows then open out into miles of footpaths leading both up and
downstream to Culmstock and Uffculme respectively.
The area
Situated between the quintessential Mid-Devon villages of
Culmstock and Uffculme, the sought-after hamlet of Craddock is
perfectly situated to take advantage of the wonderful surrounding
countryside yet is close to all amenities. Uffculme provides a
shop, pub, fish and chip shop, hairdressers, cafe, garage and
popular preschool & nursery. Further excellent pubs within walking
distance include the Culm Valley Inn at Culmstock and the Ashill
Inn at Ashill.
Also in Uffculme is the highly sought-after Ofsted "Outstanding"
secondary school Uffculme School and the property is within the
catchment area of three "Good" primary schools. Renowned
independent schooling is available nearby at Tiverton, Wellington
and Taunton.
Despite the serene location, the property is less than 5 minutes
drive to J27 of the M5, allowing you to access Exeter and Taunton
within 30 minutes, or the local towns of Cullompton or Tiverton in
10-15 minutes. From the equally nearby Tiverton Parkway station
it’s just under 2 hours by train to London Paddington or 45 mins to
Bristol Temple Meads. Further afield by car you can be on the beach
at Exmouth in 35 minutes, or surfing the waves of North Devon’s
coast in about an hour. Walkers, horse riders and mountain bikers
will also find Exmoor and the Quantocks 30-45 minutes drive
away.
Despite all that, you might just find the network of hidden
ways, cosy pubs and rolling valleys in this often overlooked part
of the West Country too beguiling to make it much further than your
own doorstep. We strongly recommend an early viewing to see
everything this unique property has to offer.
