Summary - BEECHCROFT SOUTHLEIGH COLYTON EX24 6SD
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious rural family house with extensive gardens and flexible annexe.
Large open-plan kitchen/dining with six-panel bi-fold doors
A beautifully presented detached eco-home set in a very private rural setting, ideal for families seeking space and sustainability. The main house offers large open-plan living, a bespoke kitchen with six-panel bi-fold doors to a generous sundeck, and a vaulted master suite with balcony overlooking unspoilt countryside. The living room opens into an oak-framed garden room and includes a wood-burning stove for cosy evenings.
Built in 2016 with energy efficiency at its core, the home benefits from an air-source heat pump with underfloor heating, heat-recovery ventilation, double-glazing and a solar-heated hot water system. The professionally designed low-maintenance garden includes a sun deck, west-facing dining terrace with mood lighting, wildlife pond, meadow area and a fenced organic kitchen garden with irrigation — all set within a very large, private plot.
A separate annexe, built to habitable standard with its own services and a fully fitted kitchen, provides flexible space for guests, home office or studio. Note the annexe requires some final finishes before full independent occupation. Practical strengths include a remote-controlled gated driveway with parking for up to ten cars and fast broadband; the property has no flood risk.
Considerations: the house sits in a quiet hamlet, which offers seclusion but means fewer immediate local amenities and only average mobile signal. Council tax is described as expensive. Nearby schooling includes outstanding Colyton Grammar and a highly ranked Offwell primary, but some local primary provision has mixed Ofsted ratings. Chain-free and freehold, the home suits buyers wanting rural living with strong eco-credentials and generous indoor and outdoor space.
