A beautifully renovated character farmhouse occupying a delightful rural position with far-reaching views and outbuildings with potential for conversion (STP) and 7.43 acres. EPC: F. Council Tax: F. Freehold.
Situation - The property occupies a rural but accessible location on the outskirts of the sought-after Mid Devon village of Morchard Bishop. The village has a strong community with a range of facilities, including general store and cafe, parish church, primary school (Ofsted: Good), pub, garage, sports club, tennis court and doctor’s surgery. The towns of Tiverton (16 miles) and Crediton (8 miles) offer a comprehensive range of shopping and sport facilities together with public and state schooling. The university and cathedral city of Exeter has a wide range of amenities befitting a centre of its importance. There are mainline railway stations to Paddington and London Waterloo and Exeter International Airport lies four miles to the east of the city.
Description - Upcott Farm is an unlisted charactor farmhouse occupying a delightful rural position with 7.43 acres and glorious southerly views towards Dartmoor. The Owners have undertaken a full renovation of the property which now provides well-appointed and versatile period accommodation over two floors. The house is complimented by adaptable outbuildings and garaging which offer potential for conversion, subject to gaining the necessary planning consents. The property is surrounded by glorious, well-stocked gardens with a sun terrace making the most of the south-facing aspect. Accessed from the gardens are separate paddocks.
Accommodation - From the gravel driveway a door leads into an entrance lobby. To the right is a well-designed utility room with doors leading to a ground floor WC, door to the left into useful boot room and door into the open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room. The impressive kitchen, with French doors leading to the paved sun terrace, has modern wall and floor mounted units with engineered oak flooring, integrated Neff appliances, an Aga, period fireplace with woodburner, and a large central island. The kitchen seemlessly flows into a sitting area with a period fireplace and woodburner. A door from the sitting area leads to a central hallway with stairs rising to the first floor. The central hallway gives access to a drawing room with period fireplace and ground floor office/bedroom 5 with built-in cupboards.
Stairs lead to a first floor landing, off which is a single bedroom and three double bedrooms, one with en suite shower room, and the master bedroom with en suite bathroom. There is a separate family shower room.
Gardens And Grounds - The driveway leads to a gently sloping lawn, continuing to the side and rear, with area of orchard. To the front of the south-facing house is a glorious paved entertaining area off which are terraced gardens, well-stocked shrubs and herbaceous borders, productive raised vegetable beds and a polytunnel. There is a further orchard and lawned area leading to an enclosed pasture land, suitable for a variety of smallholding and equestrian uses. In total the property extends to 7.43 acres.
Outbuildings - The property is approached via double gates onto a gravel entranceway with ample turning and parking area. Adjoining the farmhouse is a two storey stone outbuilding with external stone steps leading to a loft area. Attached is a further workshop and store. In addition, there is a detached two-bay oak framed carport.
The outbuildings offer potential for conversion into additional accommodation subject to gaining the necessary planning permissions.
Services - Mains water and electricity. Oil central heating. The Aga and woodburner provides additional hot water
Private drainage - Shared Biodigester system
4KW array of solar panels.
