Summary - Marwood, Aylesbeare EX5 2BN
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Secluded two-acre plot with outbuildings and long rural views.
Nearly 3,300 sq ft of adaptable family accommodation
Set on a level 2.25-acre plot on the edge of Aylesbeare, this substantial four-bedroom detached house offers nearly 3,300 sq ft of adaptable family living. Generous reception rooms include a 22ft sitting room with an open fire and a separate dining room; a timber garden office and multiple outbuildings add practical workspace and storage. The setting delivers strong privacy, mature specimen trees and long rural views, with the East Devon AONB, coast and Exeter within easy reach.
The accommodation suits a family seeking space and flexibility — wide circulation, a galleried landing and good-sized bedrooms provide comfortable everyday living. There is clear potential to improve energy performance and modernise the kitchen and bathrooms to your taste; the property was built pre-1900 with solid brick walls and double glazing added after 2002. Services include mains electricity and water, oil central heating plus wood-burning stoves, and septic tank drainage.
Important practical points: the property is sold freehold but is subject to an agricultural tie restricting occupation to those employed in agriculture or forestry locally. The EPC rating is E and further insulation or upgrades may be needed to improve running costs. There is an ongoing neighbour dispute the owner is addressing; it does not directly affect the house but should be noted.
For buyers who prioritise privacy, extensive grounds and countryside living, this home offers an attractive blank canvas — ideal for hobby farming, home business use (subject to consents) or simply family life in a peaceful rural setting. The plot and outbuildings offer scope for diversification or enhancement if planning permits.
