A lovely period former farmhouse now requiring an element of improvement offering comfortable 4 bedroom accommodation, a beautiful mature garden and paddock with substantial outbuilding, in all approximately 1.39 Acres. EPC: Band D

Substantially built with stone and rendered elevations set beneath a tiled roof, Fosseway Farm has been a much loved family home for many years and, whilst it does need a degree of modernisation and improvement, has the potential to create an attractive family property in a semi rural location. The accommodation is delightfully cosy with two excellent reception rooms, the sitting room having a fine inglenook and original bread oven and access to the conservatory, a well fitted kitchen with electric Aga, cloakroom and small utility. The first floor layout provides a double aspect master bedroom with en-suite shower, three further generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Unusually for a property in this type of location it enjoys gas fired central heating with solar panels to supplement hot water and a mix of double and secondary glazing.
The house is approached from the road over a sweeping entrance driveway flanked by lawns and established hedges with access to a double garage and to a secluded and sheltered garden. Offering a high degree of privacy and partly walled, this is the perfect place to sit and enjoy the afternoon sunshine with a South and West facing aspect. There are well stocked herbaceous borders, established shrubs and hedges and a greenhouse. Beyond is an area of orchard with apple trees and a fine walnut tree together with a substantial galvanised barn/workshop. A gate gives access to a fully enclosed paddock and the whole area is believed to extend to 1.39 Acres.

Approached from the A358 the house is conveniently located in the small village of Tytherleigh right on the border of Somerset and East Devon approximately 5 miles from both Chard and Axminster. Local amenities include a farm shop and 'gastro' pub and the thriving community of Chardstock, about 0.75 mile distant, provides a post office/general store, popular primary school, village hall and Church. The small market towns of Chard and Axminster both offer a wide range of services including a choice of major supermarkets, smaller retailers, educational and leisure facilities and Axminster benefits from an intercity rail link (London Waterloo). The World Heritage Jurassic Coast is about 7 miles away at Lyme Regis with its renowned Cobb Harbour and a range of delightful independent shops, and the Cathedral City of Exeter is about 25 miles to the West with international airport.
