SITUATION
South Cross House is superbly located amongst some of East Devon's most picturesque countryside and sits in an elevated position on the gentle easterly slopes of the Axe Valley, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty between the popular coastal towns of Lyme Regis and Sidmouth. At the foot of this wide valley, the River Axe winds its way towards the sea, opening into the Axe Estuary, a wildlife haven and
birdwatchers paradise, before reaching the mouth and small harbour at Seaton. This stretch of coastline is well know for its beautiful walks, high cliffs and dramatic scenery and is a World Heritage site known as the Jurassic Coast, due to its unique geological history.
South Cross House is fortunate enough to have expansive panoramic south and westerly views from the house and grounds over the typical Devon patchwork landscape, as well as easy access to beautiful walks and rides over the myriad of footpaths and bridleways in the near vicinity. The property is located on the country fringes of the village of Musbury and is very conveniently positioned with good road access to the surrounding towns and villages. Musbury has a garage with Spar shop, public house, primary school and pretty parish church of St. Michaels.
The busy market town of Axminster lies approximately 3 miles to the north and has a main line rail link to London Waterloo, leisure facilities and a good range of independent shops and eateries. The handsome seaside town of Lyme Regis with its famous cobb harbour is approximately 5 miles to the south east.
The Cathedral City of Exeter, Devon's County Town, is some 26 miles to the west and has an excellent shopping centre, schools, university, theatres, main line rail link and express train to London Paddington, M5 access and international
airport. The renowned Colyton Grammar School, one of the country's top mixed state schools, is situated about 2.5 miles away on the outskirts of the country village of Colyford.
THE PROPERTY
South Cross House is a truly special detached residence
situated in a spectacular elevated position with magnificent southerly country and sea views over the Axe Valley. Built in the 1860’s, the property retains many of its original
period features and has been beautifully enhanced over the last nine years of the current owners stewardship. This has
included opening up the kitchen/breakfast room which has created a lovely bright and spacious room with bespoke quality units, range cooker, integrated appliances, wood burner and a central island. The spacious double aspect sitting room has new French doors that open out to the southerly facing veranda and an open Rayburn fireplace. To the front is a large double aspect formal dining room, good-sized study and a large welcoming entrance hall with an original returning staircase. Also, on the ground-floor is a snug/tv room, utility, walk-in pantry and a cloakroom.
On the first-floor is a large landing with a superb full height window that looks out over the grounds and wonderful views. The large double aspect principal bedroom has lovely sash windows and a quality en-suite bathroom with a claw foot bath and separate shower. There are four further double bedrooms, three of which have modern en-suite bath/shower rooms, a single bedroom, family bath/shower room and Cloakroom.
GARDENS & GROUNDS
The property is approached from the lane into a large
driveway and parking area adjacent to which is the garaging. The grounds extend to circa 5.76 acres and in the main are laid to lawn with established, well-stocked colourful beds and borders. To the side is a beautiful covered Veranda which provides a perfect place to sit out in and enjoy the superb views. A spacious Iroko deck to the rear has a sunken swim spa and an outdoor shower. The large rolling lawn that extends to the south also has a productive vegetable patch and an arboretum. To the side are useful brick built stores, WC, double garage and a workshop which could also be a games room. Across the lane is a paddock and an enclosed cutting garden which is measures approximately 1.6 acre.
