About This Property:
Built in 2011 and thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners, the house has been finished to an exceptional standard throughout, with a strong emphasis on light, outlook and flow. The accommodation is both generous and versatile, arranged to take full advantage of the views and its peaceful setting.
The welcoming double-height entrance hall is filled with natural light via floor-to-ceiling glazing and leads through to the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, which forms the heart of the home. Centred around a striking Brazilian quartzite island, the bespoke System Six kitchen incorporates high-quality integrated appliances and generous storage, designed to suit both everyday family life and entertaining.
The adjoining orangery is a standout feature, providing a beautifully light space for dining or relaxing throughout the seasons, with uninterrupted views across the valley. Sliding doors open directly onto the terrace, creating an effortless connection between inside and out.
The dual aspect sitting room is both elegant and comfortable, with a wood burning stove and direct access onto the decking, perfectly positioned to enjoy the outlook. The principal living spaces enjoy stunning views across the garden towards the River Axe and Axmouth, particularly atmospheric in the evening when village lights reflect across the water, with views extending towards the sea.
A further reception room, currently used as a gym and games room, also opens onto the terrace and shares the same open outlook across the valley.
A dedicated study provides a quiet workspace and leads through to a well-appointed laundry room and practical boot room, complete with a dog shower. The adjoining insulated garage benefits from attic storage and offers potential for conversion to ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. The ground floor is completed by a WC cloakroom located under the stairs from the entrance hall.
On the first floor are four generous double bedrooms, two of which benefit from high-quality en suite shower rooms. The principal bedroom is particularly noteworthy, featuring fitted wardrobes, an elegant and recently fitted en suite, and access to a private balcony enjoying superb far-reaching views towards the coast.
The family bathroom is finished to an exceptional standard and includes a freestanding bath together with a large separate shower.
Garden and Outside Space:
The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped to complement the setting, wrapping around the house on all sides and creating a strong sense of space, privacy and connection to the surrounding countryside.
A series of terraces, lawns and seating areas have been carefully positioned to follow the sun throughout the day, with the main decked terrace providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and evening entertaining while enjoying far-reaching views across the River Axe, the valley and towards the Jurassic Coast.
Raised planting beds and well-established borders provide structure, colour and seasonal interest, while an integrated irrigation system supports the maintenance of the gardens, making them both attractive and practical to manage.
The elevated position enhances the sense of openness on both sides of the property, with uninterrupted outlooks towards the Jurassic Coast to the front and across rolling countryside to the rear. To the rear, a superb terrace and patio provide an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining or a quiet drink, enjoying complete privacy and far-reaching views across open fields, perfectly positioned to take in the evening sun.
Electrically operated wooden gates open onto a block-paved driveway providing ample parking, while the gardens are securely enclosed on all sides.
