Set on a large private plot in peaceful Offwell, The Brackens is a spacious four-bedroom detached dormer bungalow arranged for flexible family living. The ground floor offers a large entrance hall, lounge with wood burning stove, dining room, a substantial breakfast kitchen with some integrated appliances, utility and a ground-floor bedroom with shower room — convenient for multi-generational use or home working. Upstairs, a galleried landing leads to an expansive principal bedroom that spans the full depth of the house, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The property is presented to a high standard with modern floor coverings and double glazing installed after 2002. Outside, mature and well-stocked gardens surround the house with paved patios, a timber summerhouse with power and light, greenhouse, large workshop, log store and a timber car port with generous gravel parking. The setting is rural and private, yet Honiton (approx. 2 miles) provides shops, rail links and road access to the A35/A30 and Exeter.
Practical considerations are straightforward: oil-fired central heating with boiler and radiators, an excellent mobile signal but average broadband speeds, and freehold tenure. Council tax is noted as expensive, and the house dates from the 1980s (constructed 1983–1990) so buyers should expect some element of ongoing maintenance and possible modernisation over time. The property is not at flood risk and sits in a very low crime area within established farming countryside.
This home will suit families seeking generous rooms and gardens in a quiet rural setting, buyers wanting flexible single-level living with upstairs guest or family space, or those looking for a comfortable countryside base near Honiton. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the scale, the garden buildings and the adaptable accommodation on offer.
