Ashfield has a lovely, elevated setting off a peaceful country lane and is situated amidst gently rolling countryside bordering the middle section of the River Exe. The property is just a short drive from the small village of Stoodleigh, which has a parish church, pub and cricket club.
Ashfield is a former stud farm and National Hunt yard set amidst lush and verdant countryside that gently rolls away from the property down to the middle section of the River Exe about two miles away as the crow flies. Whilst nearly every room has a view, the property is carefully positioned to ensure that the best southerly views can be enjoyed from as many rooms as possible including the living room and bedroom in the annexe. Ashfield is a good-sized bungalow with rendered and white-painted external walls under a tiled roof. It is fitted with large picture windows that not only capture the view from every angle but also provide the interior with plentiful natural light and ensure it has a open and airy feeling.
The property has three reception rooms with the centrally positioned sitting room conjoined with the dining room and kitchen/breakfast room through wide archways. The adjacent conservatory links the dining room and kitchen to create a family focussed hub at the centre of the house that also doubles as a fantastic space for entertaining.
The property is well-presented and has some lovely touches including pale décor throughout, timber flooring in most rooms and an open fireplace in the sitting room. The kitchen is fully fitted with a range of units including a large, timber-built central island, an electric two oven Rayburn, granite work surfaces and has fantastic, far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside.
The main part of the house has three double bedrooms that all have views looking out to the west or east and they share use of the adjacent shower room and the family bathroom situated off an alcove next to the kitchen.
On the south-eastern corner of the house is a, self-contained annexe that incorporates a living room with wonderful views through picture and French windows, fully fitted kitchen, double bedroom and shower room.
Garden & Grounds
Ashfield is approached off a quiet county lane to a paved and gravelled parking area in front of the property. The garden wraps around two sides of the bungalow, is enclosed by mature hedging and incorporates a good-sized, paved terrace along with a polytunnel and a kennel block equipped with lighting and water.
Immediately beside the garden is an area occupied by the property's equestrian facilities These include extensive parking, a stable block incorporating eight loose boxes and a foaling box and a large steel framed barn. The central area of the barn is sectioned into three parts and on either side of the central area are a workshop, machinery store, studio plus an additional workshop.
Located behind the barn is the fully fenced Andrews Bowen outdoor school with Pro silica and wax surface plus completed ground works with installed electrics for a five-horse walker (planning consent already approved).
Beyond the garden and yard are approximately 38 acres of prime Grade 2 pasture and grazing land enclosed within a hedged/Devon bank boundary. The pasture currently provides a significant hay crop but has potential for use for holiday escapes, expanding into shepherd hut holidays or eco camping (subject to local authority permission).
