ABOUT THE PROPERTY
The Gates is an adaptable three/four bedroomed detached residence surrounded by countryside with far reaching views. Nestled within the picturesque Taw Valley amongst the rolling hills of Umberleigh, the location provides a balance of easy access and rural living. The property has been significantly enlarged over the years and offers well proportioned accommodation of a blank canvass for prospective purchasers to carry out some updating.
The property lies adjacent to the Tarka railway line and crossing, and despite being closely situated, the trains slow for the crossing and Umberleigh Station. Attractive gardens adjoin the property with ample parking a detached double garage, extending in all, to about 0.24 acres.
On the ground floor; entrance porch, spacious hallway with stairs to first floor, large open-plan sitting/dining room with open fireplace and sliding doors to the study/ground floor bedroom. The hall leads to a ground floor shower room and the kitchen/breakfast room. The first floor provides three good sized double bedrooms and a well appointed family shower room.
For layout and approximate room measurements please see the enclosed floorplan and refer to the Virtual Tour.
THE GARDENS
Approached from the quiet country lane, a large driveway provides ample parking and leads to the detached double garage with power and light connected. Pathways and paved patios adjoin the accommodation with flower beds and lawned areas. Situated to the rear is a large lawned garden backing onto open fields.
In all, The Gates extends to about 0.24 acres.
THE AREA
The Gates is set in a delightful position toward the edge of this pretty rural village, just a short distance from the centre. Umberleigh has a thriving local community and includes a highly regarded primary school, popular public house, The Rising Sun, and the extremely useful railway station on the Tarka Line with a regular sprinter train service to Barnstaple and Exeter. There are further local facilities at Chittlehampton and High Bickington.
The market town of South Molton, located just to the south of Exmoor, offering an excellent range of everyday services including shops, schools, restaurants, together with a Sainsbury's supermarket, health centre, recreational facilities and cottage hospital. The town also enjoys a traditional country pannier market twice weekly.
RIVER TAW & FLOODING
The Gates lies within Flood Zone 2 & 3 and was affected by the exceptional floods of 2000. Being elevated, we understand the flooding of 2012 in the area didn't reach the accommodation. The year 2000 saw significant and unusual levels of rainfall throughout the year. During this time large parts of the country were also impacted.
Other than the above dates there hasn't been any recent flooding and significant flood prevention works have been carried out within the area and to the River Taw. Further prevention works could be undertaken at the property, if required.
Whilst it is advisable for interested parties to make their own enquiries, further information is available upon request, so please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss further.
SERVICES & OUTGOINGS
We understand that the property is connected to mains water and electricity. Modern thermostatically controlled electric panel heaters. Drainage to a private septic tank system.
