A new house in a historic shell! This classic, period house has been fully renovated to a high standard and offers very spacious and comfortable, family living near the centre of Uffculme. Quick access to the M5 and Tiverton Parkway Station, ideal for commuting.

This fine, period house is believed to have been built in the mid 1700's of cob and stone, so with its very thick walls, it keeps lovely and warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The accommodation is far more spacious than that found in a more modern, detached house, and it has been fully refurbished in a light, contemporary style with attractive oak features, ceiling beams and doors, yet retains the original stone fireplace, enhancing its charm and appeal.

The versatile living space is perfect for a family with the large open-plan dining/family room, kitchen and breakfast room being the hub of the house, with plenty of sitting and dining space around the kitchen. This is fitted in a cream Shaker style, with plenty of storage, oak work surfaces and integral appliances, some of which may be purchased under separate negotiation. Beyond the dining/family room, the generous sitting room has an original stone fireplace and mantel surround and houses a solid fuel and wood burner, perfect for cosy winter evenings.

The rear elevation of the house has been significantly extended by our clients on the ground floor to provide the breakfast room and beyond, a bedroom accessed via another room. These two rooms are currently used as offices but would make a great bedroom suite, perhaps for an elderly relative or older teenager, seeking some independence. These are well appointed with plenty of power points and good fibre optic broadband connectivity and download speed for home working.

Upstairs, the spacious landing gives way to the large, family shower room and three double bedrooms, with the largest room having an adjoining dressing room with enviable wardrobe storage!

Outside, on approach to the house, there is informal street parking in Bridge Street, usually with space for the locals, either opposite or down the street. A walled forecourt and path lead to the front door and a path to the left of the house gives useful access to the rear garden and a place to keep the recycling and bins.

The rear garden is fully enclosed with fencing and has been attractively landscaped with a paved patio, which is a real sun trap. This gives way to raised, stone built planters and steps leading up to the lawn, with artificial grass for ease of maintenance. At the far end of the garden, there is a large garden shed.

The Magelake Hall and playing fields lie a short step down the hill from the house and provide a great place for children to kick a ball around and let off steam. Before this, accessed by the bridge, there is a lovely walk along the River Culm to Coldharbour Mill or the other way to Culmstock, for the more energetic.

Uffculme has a good range of other local amenities including a primary school and the renowned, Ofsted rated 'Outstanding' secondary school, Uffculme School. There is a local pub, 'The Ostler', a Nisa mini-market, doctors' surgery and veterinary practice. Regular bus services run through the village and the market towns of Tiverton and Cullompton are a short drive away. Exeter, Taunton and Tiverton Parkway Station are all within easy reach via the motorway and make this a very convenient location for commuting.
