Sitting in a quarter of an acre, on a quiet lane in the Mid Devon village of Westleigh, this refined family home has been thoughtfully renovated and extended in recent years. The interiors blend light and airy with warm and intimate, as the large garden overlooks fields and enjoys far reaching countryside views towards the neighbouring villages. Lace Cottage sits close to the famous and picturesque Grand Western Canal as well as being just a ten minute drive to Tiverton Parkway station and the M5.
THE LAYOUT
From the vast driveway, providing parking for multiple cars, the front door opens into a small porch way and then on into the large entrance hall, which the current vendors use as a fantastic dining space. Immediately the natural light is noticeable, and your eyes are instantly drawn to the view through the house and beyond onto the Devon countryside. Both are largely due to the over sized windows — the originals believed to be so because of the need for light when the property was used for lace making, and from which it takes its name today!
The hardwood flooring of the dining room makes way for the underfloor heated tiles of the kitchen, as you step into the extended part of the house. Containing bespoke handmade units and free standing island, the kitchen is the obvious hub of the home. Space and light again the obvious characteristics, with doors opening onto the back garden too. The remainder of the downstairs provides no shortage of reception rooms, with a cosy sitting room — complete with woodburner — another large lounge, study and flexible reception room, which is currently used as a treatment room. This could easily provide a downstairs bedroom option, as the ground floor shower room is located next door, as well as a spacious utility room.
Upstairs, the extension has created a substantial main bedroom suite, with walk in wardrobe and en suite. This really is a room with a view and a balcony ensures you are able to soak it up either with a morning coffee, or pre bed tipple. The second and third bedrooms are also generous doubles, with a smaller fourth also able to house a double bed. A modern family shower room completes the upstairs layout.
OUTSIDE
The property opens up on to a vast patio area, providing a fantastic sociable space and is home to a hot tub, positioned perfectly to take in the idyllic outlook. A level lawn allows for a child friendly zone, with all of this backing onto fields, giving the feeling that the garden is bigger still.
THE AREA
Westleigh is a small village, handily located for easy access to the M5 and Tiverton Parkway station. With the nearby villages of Holcombe Rogus, Sampford Peverell and Burlescombe providing additional amenities, the area provides a balance of the rural calmness and thriving community. The nearby market town of Tiverton boasts an array of independent shops, a leisure centre and multiple supermarkets and schools, including the renowned private school Blundell's, for which this property sits in the zone to be eligible for discounted fees. The property also falls within the catchment area of the sought after secondary school of Uffculme.
