A glorious period house set in its own secluded grounds with pasture fields, broadleaved woodland, outbuildings and sand school. EPC: D. Council Tax: G. Freehold
Situation - Glebe House is situated in a wonderful secluded location close to the Teign Valley and only a mile from Dartmoor National Park. Though in a rural location the property is only 7 miles from Exeter which has a superb range of facilities befitting a centre of its importance. The nearest town is Chudleigh (3 miles) which provides a good range of day to day facilities whilst villages in the locality include Lower Ashton, Trusham, Doddiscombsleigh and Christow, offering an excellent choice of places to eat and drink. Despite its rural setting the property is within a 5 mile reach of the A38, A30 and M5 for easy communication in all directions.
Description - The property is a beautiful south-east facing period house providing modern and substantial accommodation of over 3117 sq ft with a beautiful outlook over a pond and mature grounds. It has the added advantage of a useful range of outbuildings (offering scope for possible alternative uses, subject to the necessary consents), along with stock-proofed pasture fields and a delightful section of unspoilt broadleaved woodland.
House - Steps lead from the parking area to a vaulted main entrance hall with stairs to the first floor. Doors from the hallway lead to a utility room with a butler sink and separate WC, a glorious open plan kitchen/dining room with wall and floor mounted units with integrated appliances, central island, woodburner and a door to the paved sun terrace. On from the dining room is a cosy, dual aspect sitting room with woodburner and French doors leading to the open fronted loggia. A further door leads to a snug/office with spiral stairs leading to a first floor landing, WC, and a door to the front garden.
Stairs rise from the entrance hallway to a landing off which are three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a spacious master bedroom with fitted cupboards and a door to the spacious balcony making the most of the stunning rural views. A door from the master bedroom leads to a secondary landing (stairs rising from the snug/office) with access to a shower room with WC.
Grounds - The property is approached along a lovely sweeping drive past lawns and mature shrubs. The loggia on the front of the house provides a wonderful sitting out area with a delightful outlook over the grounds. To the front of the house is a level field with a pond, whilst the other side of a small stream is a broadleaved woodland area of mainly oak and ash with a further field beyond with specimen oak trees. Beyond this is a wonderful area of unspoilt broadleaved woodland with a mass of bluebells in season. There is a further field to the south side with access then up into the rear field that lies at the rear of the buildings.
The land has been used along traditional lines with grazing, haymaking and where wildlife is encouraged. Overall the property amounts to about 13.53 acres.
Outbuildings And Sand School - To the rear of the house is a range of useful outbuildings comprising a double garage (5.9m x 5.4m) with exterior staircase leading up to a large room over (6.1m x 5.6m) which is ideal as a gym or studio. In addition, an attached single garage/tack room and two stables makes this an ideal equestrian property. Garden store with workshop off. There is also a timber framed open-fronted barn (14.2m x 9m). There is a well-maintained sand school with floodlights.
Services - Mains electricity and water. Private drainage (Bio-digester).
Biomass boiler registered with the Domestic RHI scheme. 6kw PV solar with ground rocker.
Directions - From Exeter and M5 motorway, continue south towards Plymouth. About 2 miles beyond the end of the motorway the roads divides. Take the right hand fork onto the A38 Expressway towards Plymouth. Near the top of the hill turn left signposted Dunchideock and the Racecourse. Turn right and pass under the A38 and continue through the forest for about 1.5 miles. Turn sharp left at Haldon Gate, opposite a large car park. Proceed down this road for about 1 mile to Holden Cross. Turn right signposted Ashton and the entrance to Glebe House will be found on the left hand side.
