Situation - A charming and beautifully situated farmhouse with annexe in a rural position close to the popular Mid Devon village of Spreyton on the northern fringe of the Dartmoor National Park. Spreyton has a thriving community with a well regarded primary school, village hall, sports field, parish church and an award winning pub, The Tom Cobley. Although in a rural location, the property is only 2 miles from the A30 dual carriageway leading west towards Okehampton and Cornwall, and east to the university and cathedral city of Exeter, which also connects beyond to the M5 motorway. In Exeter there is a wide range of facilities befitting a centre of its importance including excellent dining, shopping, theatre, educational and cultural amenities.

Description - South Nethercott Farm is an attractive and characterful family home providing well maintained accommodation throughout with a sensitively extended modern kitchen, utility, sitting room, dining room and family room and conservatory on the ground floor, and 4 bedrooms, 1 with an ensuite bathroom, and a family bathroom on the first floor. To the far end of the property is an integral annexe with kitchen, bathroom and double bedroom. This could be integrated back into the main house if required. Accessed off the main driveway is a double garage with useful store room. The south facing gardens lead to paddocks with a small section of woodland and wildlife pond. In all, the land amounts to 3.54 acres.

Farmhouse And Annexe - The ground floor accommodation briefly comprises a generous-sized dining room with a wood burner; a spacious sitting room with parquet flooring, an open fireplace and a full height picture window; a pleasant glazed conservatory; plus a well-proportioned family room/study. There is a large triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room with a range of stylish fitted units with wooden worktops, an AGA and full-height glazing in the breakfast room providing lovely garden views. A useful neighbouring fitted utility room is adjacent to the kitchen. On the first floor, the property offers a principal bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, three further well-proportioned bedrooms and a large family bathroom.

The integral annexe has its own separate entrance into the annexe kitchen, which leads to a family bathroom and a bedroom. There is a door from the bedroom to the dining room, which is currently used by the main house, but could provide a reception room to the annexe or be fully integrated back into the main house.

Gardens, Garaging And Land - The property is approached over a gravelled driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles and giving access to a detached double timber garage with an attached store. The enclosed garden is laid mainly to lawn with mature flowerbeds; featuring a large paved sun terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. There are also lovely views over the surrounding countryside. The remaining land is formed of well-fenced paddocks, established amenity woodland and a wildlife pond. In total, the land measures approximately 3.54 acres.

Services - Mains water and electricity. Private drainage (Sewage Treatment Plant). Oil fired central heating in the farmhouse.
Standard broadband available. EE, O2, Three and Vodafone mobile networks available (Ofcom).

Agents Note - There are two separate entrances to South Nethercott Farm. Access to house is along a concrete drive, plus the house owns a separate entrance at the beginning of Nethercott Lane, running past the neighbouring cottages. There is a public footpath along Nethercott Lane.
There is full planning in place for stables and tack room to be sited in the paddocks.

Directions - From Exeter proceed west on the A30 towards Okehampton. Leave at the Whiddon Down exit and in the village turn right on to the A3124 towards North Tawton. After approximately 1.6 miles the property will be on your right.
