4 bedroom house

An attractive detached four bedroomed family house occupying a readily accessible rural position, set in large gardens and benefiting from a substantial storage building. In all about 0.62 Acres.

Mornacott House represents a most attractive and well situated country residence occupying a tucked away and yet readily accessible rural position close to South Molton. The property is centred upon an attractive detached modern house commissioned and built in 1997 by the current vendors as a replacement for a smaller dwelling which formerly occupied the site. The sale thereby represents a rare opportunity, being the first time the property has been offered on the open market. The house provides well proportioned four bedroomed family accommodation approached over a private entrance and benefiting from an attached double garage and ample parking, all set in charming large gardens.
Unusually for a property of this type, Mornacott House also benefits from a substantial modern storage building, enjoying a separate private access leading directly off the main entrance. This building may be ideal for those prospective purchasers looking for spacious and secure private or domestic storage, with potential for adaptation to a variety of alternative uses, subject to obtaining any necessary change of use planning consent. Mornacott House extends in total to about 0.62 Acres and is available with no onward chain.

Accessed from the quiet council road over a private entrance track, Mornacott House occupies a readily accessible rural position. The nearby sought after village of Bishops Nympton provides a useful range of local amenities including a village hall, primary school and community shop/bar.
Despite the tucked away rural position the property is conveniently situated with the A361(T) North Devon link route providing easy access to the bustling towns of South Molton and Barnstaple. The quaint market town of South Molton provides a useful range of everyday shopping, banking and scholastic services, whilst Barnstaple to the west affords a more extensive range of commercial, educational and recreational facilities, befitting those of an important regional and administrative centre. There are excellent road and rail communications with the A361 also providing an easy link to Tiverton and Junction 27 of the M5 motorway, with main line rail connections available at Tiverton Parkway (London Paddington approx. 2 hours). The cathedral city and county town of Exeter is about 30 miles away, with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.
The southern boundary of the Exmoor National Park lies about 4 miles to the north offering beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths and the stunning North Devon coastline. To the west are the popular sandy beaches of Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe.

The property is approached from the quiet council road via a private driveway which leads into a large car parking and turning area situated to the front of the house, also providing access to the double garage. The parking area is flanked with lawned gardens, which continue around to the side and rear of the dwelling. Whilst laid mainly to lawn, the pretty and well established gardens are interspersed with well stocked shrub beds and ornamental trees. Adjoining the garden room is a concrete and brick edged sitting out area, enjoying lovely views over the lower gardens. A wide path continues around the house with a retaining wall and steps leading up to the rear garden, which contains a poly tunnel and vegetable patch, with seasonal fruit provided by an apple and a pear tree. The gently sloping gardens enjoy and good degree of privacy and seclusion and may be an ideal outside space for children and/or pets.
