Set on a very large, level plot in the attractive market town of Chulmleigh, High Banks is a four-bedroom detached family home updated from its 1960s origins. The accommodation includes a dual-aspect kitchen-dining room, a bright living room with wood-burning stove and bi-fold doors onto a south-facing paved patio, and a useful utility and cloakroom on the ground floor. Large windows and recent refurbishment create a light, comfortable interior suited to everyday family life.
Outside, the long private drive leads to an adjoining double garage and parking for three to four cars. Gardens to front and rear have been thoughtfully landscaped: a level lawn with herbaceous borders to the front, and an extensive productive rear garden with raised beds, polytunnel, shed, BBQ area and a wildlife pond. Far-reaching country views towards Dartmoor are a standout feature.
Practical running costs are reduced by photovoltaic panels, but the property is heated by an oil-fired boiler and remains on mains services. The walls are cavity-built with no insulation assumed; buyers should consider any further insulation or energy-improvement works. Council tax is above average for the area and the EPC is mid-range (D), despite recent refurbishment to kitchen and bathroom.
This home will suit families seeking space, privacy and productive gardens in a peaceful, well-served village with good schooling and transport links to Exeter and Barnstaple. While largely modernised, the house still offers opportunities for further energy upgrades and personalised finishing touches to maximise long-term efficiency and comfort.
