West AnsteySouth Molton, Devon, EX36 3PE

The Church House is a most charming and beautifully finished Grade II Listed home, enjoying beautiful landscaped gardens with a stream and a pond and far-reaching rural views. Recently restored and modernised to a very high standard throughout, the property provides characterful accommodation over two floors, extending to over 2,600 sq ft. With flagstone floors, exposed beams and two fabulous inglenook fireplaces, there are traditional features aplenty.

From the level front garden, a wisteria clad entrance porch leads through the front door to an entrance hall with a staircase rising to the first floor. To the right, is the dual aspect sitting room with bay window looking to the garden and a fireplace with wood burning stove. The substantial dining room, to the left of the entrance hall, has a flagstone floor, exposed beams and substantial inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove inset. There is also a door to the substantial flagstone patio area perfect for alfresco dining.

From the dining room, there is a short hallway either side of which there is a cloakroom and separate utility room leading to the kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen has been fitted with a range of hand-made units, with granite worktops and a central island, integral appliances and a Rayburn stove set into another inglenook fireplace. There is also a stable door leading from the kitchen to the Church access road or workshop and log store.

On the first floor, there is a principal bedroom with en suite bathroom and two guest bedrooms, which share a generous family bathroom. The larger of the two guest bedrooms has pocket doors opening to small 4th bedroom that would also make a useful dressing area or office.

Outside, the gardens are an absolute delight, having been beautifully landscaped and planted extensively, to provide colour throughout the year. There is a stream that runs through the lower section of the garden to a pond and in front of the house there is a wonderful terrace and level lawn, enjoying far-reaching views to the south and west. Within the gardens, there is a gravelled driveway, with plenty of parking in front of a substantial detached garage building.

There is a separate parking and turning area to the side of the house below the church, where there is also a workshop/store, with additional log store, which has potential to be converted to an annexe/studio, subject to the necessary consents. A small copse of woodland to the west of this building provides further amenity space and a further garden opportunity.
