Summary - ALDER HOUSE, 12 MARKSMEAD DRIMPTON BEAMINSTER DT8 3RZ
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Modern extended four-bed detached in peaceful village plot with stream-side garden.
Four double bedrooms, principal with en-suite
A spacious, well-presented detached family home set in a peaceful village plot edged by a stream. The property benefits from a recent side extension that creates a bright, vaulted kitchen/breakfast/living space with skylights and bi-fold doors onto a south-facing paved terrace — ideal for family dining and entertaining. Ground floor layout includes a large sitting/dining room with wood burner, separate study and utility with garage access, giving flexible space for homeworking and family life.
Upstairs are four good-sized double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, and a large airing cupboard housing the electric boiler. Outside, a generous garden with raised beds, greenhouse and colourful shrub borders leads down to the stream; the driveway provides parking for several cars and a single garage. The house was built in the mid-2000s and has double glazing throughout, offering relatively low maintenance and modern proportions.
Practical considerations: heating is electric (electric-fired central heating and electric boiler), and the property sits in Council Tax Band E (above average). Mobile and indoor data coverage is limited for some providers, although outdoor signal and Wi‑Fi calling can mitigate this. The location is a small village/hamlet offering quiet rural living; local services are limited so car travel is typical. Buyers should note the wider local area records higher deprivation indices despite very low local crime.
This home will suit families seeking roomy, contemporary accommodation in a tranquil countryside setting, with immediate move-in quality and scope to personalise. There are no known planning permissions affecting the postcode; the title is likely to contain standard rights and covenants, which should be checked by a buyer’s legal adviser.
