Downmead is an impressive, newly renovated 1934 detached family house set on about 0.62 acres on the edge of Hemyock in the Blackdown Hills AONB. The property offers six bedrooms, six bathrooms and five reception rooms across 5,829 sq ft, arranged to suit flexible multi‑generational living. South‑facing bays, large windows and a sequence of well‑proportioned rooms provide abundant natural light and comfortable family living spaces.
The layout has been updated to modern standards while retaining period character. A large open-plan kitchen/family room, cinema and gym/games rooms (with integral hot tub), principal bedroom suite with dressing room and balcony, plus two self-contained annexes (one in the roof and one ground-floor annexe) give excellent adaptability for guests, extended family or rental income. A timber-clad holiday studio in the garden operates successfully on short‑let platforms and enhances income potential.
Outside there are extensive, well‑maintained lawns, secluded decking with covered bar and barbecue area, greenhouse, summerhouse and parking for around eight cars including an attached double garage. The property benefits from strong mobile and broadband signals and sits close to a good primary school and highly regarded secondary schools nearby, while the M5 and mainline stations are within reasonable driving distance.
Important practical points: the site is in a high flood‑risk area so buyers should seek specialist insurance and professional flood advice. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The home is rural and private, so regular travel to larger towns is needed for wider amenities. Overall, the house suits a large family seeking countryside privacy with flexible living and proven holiday‑let potential, but buyers should factor in flood risk and running costs.
