Set within the Blackdown Hills AONB, this Victorian stone home offers flexible family living across two generous floors. The triple-aspect lounge and kitchen/diner create sociable hubs while a second reception room can serve as a formal dining room, home office or fifth bedroom.
Practical features include an en suite main bedroom, a family bathroom plus a ground-floor wet room, oil-fired central heating, and a garage with power and light. The property sits on a very large, attractive south-facing garden that feels private and well established — ideal for children, pets and gardening.
Note the house is a period stone construction (pre-1900) with likely solid granite walls and no built-in wall insulation; heating is oil-fired and served by a private septic tank. There is medium flood risk in the area and council tax is described as expensive — these are important ownership costs to consider.
This home will suit families and buyers seeking character in a quiet hamlet setting who are happy to manage running costs and possible upgrading to improve energy efficiency. With space, privacy and a large plot, it also offers scope for layout tweaks or modest modernisation to increase comfort and long-term value.
