Raddon House is a spacious family home providing approximately 2,672 sq. ft. of accommodation. Thought to date from the early 1800s, the house has retained many appealing period features including beams, fireplaces and exposed stonework. The layout is flexible, with three reception rooms on the ground floor.

There is a large open plan family room/dining room featuring parquet flooring, two inglenook fireplaces, (one with a bread oven) and a wood burning stove. The kitchen is separated from the dining room by two brick pillars and low fitted bookshelves. This double aspect room has a range of traditional wooden units, as well as a four oven oil-fired AGA. There is an adjacent utility room which provides further storage space, as well as a boot room, cloakroom and study with a door leading to the integral garage. Completing the ground floor is a double aspect sitting room, benefitting from south-facing views of the surrounding countryside, as well as an open fireplace.

Upstairs, there are five bedrooms. The dual aspect master bedroom is spacious, with lovely views, fitted storage and an en suite bathroom. There are four further well-proportioned bedrooms, bedroom two benefitting from a large walk-in wardrobe, and the front-facing bedrooms with appealing countryside views. A large shower room services these bedrooms.

The pretty village of Thorverton is extremely popular and has a thriving community, set amidst beautiful mid-Devon countryside. The village has an annual art festival, and a country fair, a cricket club, a church, village shop and Post Office, farm shop, village primary school, pre-school, village hall and two well-regarded pubs.

Opportunities for outdoor pursuits are endless: the National Trust Estate of Killerton House is close by, as are the beautiful East, North and South Devon coastlines, and the rugged splendour of the Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks.

Exeter, approximately 6.7 miles away, is the most thriving city in the South West and offers a wide choice of cultural activities with the theatre, the museum, arts centre and a wealth of good restaurants and shopping, including John Lewis and Waitrose.
