An individual, architect-designed detached home set within 1.23 acres of mature gardens, orchard and paddock in the Blackdown Hills National Landscape. Built to a high environmental specification in 2014, the house combines contemporary fittings with traditional cob construction and exposed oak beams, offering generous living spaces, a bright oak-framed garden room and wide countryside views.
Practical green features include owned solar panels, an air-source heat pump, heat-recovery system, underfloor heating to the ground floor and bathrooms, and an EV charging point. The grounds include a double garage with electric doors, an insulated heated workshop, stone shed with WC and useful stores—well suited to hobby farming, equestrian or home workshop use.
Important practical points: the property is served by a private spring water supply (with treatment equipment) and a Klargester-type septic tank. There is a high flood risk for the area, broadband speeds are very slow and council tax sits in a higher band. The cob walls and thatched/timber-clad elements are attractive but may require specialist maintenance.
This home will appeal to families or buyers seeking sustainable, rural living with space for smallholding activity and strong privacy. Viewings are recommended for anyone prioritising countryside outlooks, extensive outdoor amenity and low-crime seclusion, while being mindful of utilities and maintenance obligations.
