TRULY STUNNING POSITION! A superb detached residence in a wonderful and tranquil, rural position surrounded by its own land of around 12.2 acres.
Location - The property is situated in a truly stunning, yet highly convenient location, on a private lane serving the small community of Whitechapel. The property enjoys a tranquil and unspoilt position, surrounded by its own land, with an excellent array of wildlife visitors. There is also easy access to the North Devon Link Road and the amenities at South Molton, Barnstaple and Tiverton, the latter providing access to Tiverton Parkway Railway Station and the M5 Motorway at Junction 27.
The property is also located on the fringes of Exmoor National Park, which is renowned for its undulating moors and pastureland, with streams and rivers running down through deep wooded combes and valleys to the spectacular cliffs along the North Devon coastline. There are outstanding opportunities for walking, cycling and bird watching.
The market town of South Molton is around 3 miles away, and offers an excellent range of amenities including banks, shops, primary and secondary schooling, supermarket, health centre and the popular pannier market. The regional centre of Barnstaple is around 14 miles away, and offers a wider range of amenities and leisure pursuits.
Communications - The area can be accessed from Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway and along the A361 North Devon Link Road. Tiverton Parkway Mainline Railway Station with fast and frequent trains to London and beyond is around a 30 minute drive.

The Property - Offered for sale to the open market for the first time in 27 years, this is a very rare opportunity to acquire a detached character residence, in a tranquil and unspoilt location, surrounded by its own land, and benefiting from an abundance of wildlife. The property offers well-presented accommodation with three reception rooms and five bedrooms (one en-suite).
The south facing property stands just off a private lane, surrounded by its own land of around 12.2 acres which is a delightful mixture of garden areas and woodland. The grounds have been managed by the current vendors to encourage wildlife and increase biodiversity. The range of wildlife now at the property is incredible with bats, dormice, stoats and owls to name but a few. The woodland is rich in native flora, including large areas of bluebells.
Only with a full internal inspection can you start to appreciate this superb property and the exceptionally rare rural, yet convenient position it maintains.
