The sale of Chimneys represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a most attractive and well-situated country residence occupying an outstanding rural position overlooking the picturesque Taw Valley. The property comprises a deceptively spacious individual detached bungalow, which was architecturally designed and erected in 1980, subject to an agricultural occupancy condition. Whilst now requiring updating in some areas, the dwelling provides well-proportioned three bedroomed family accommodation set in delightful large south facing gardens and approached over a smart private entrance drive, with an integral garage and parking. The property is offered with no onward chain.

Chimneys occupies an outstanding rural position set in glorious North Devon countryside enjoying a readily accessible location close to the small village of Burrington, enjoying superb views over the Taw Valley and surrounding countryside. The popular town of Chulmleigh provides highly regarded primary and secondary schools, a sports centre, post office, various shops, a health centre, dentist, public houses, restaurants and a historic town hall.
Despite its rural position, Chimneys still enjoys easy access to the surrounding districts and main routes of communication with the A377 providing an easy and convenient link to the larger towns of Barnstaple, South Molton (via the B3226) and Crediton, all providing a good range of local services including shops, banks, supermarkets, recreational facilities, health centres, primary and secondary schooling. From South Molton and Barnstaple the A361 North Devon link road provides quick and easy access to the M5 motorway (Junction 27). There are nearby rail stations on the Barnstaple to Exeter (Tarka) line at Kings Nympton (1.5 miles) and Eggesford, with main line rail services available at Exeter and Tiverton Parkway, and international airports at Exeter and Bristol.
Chimneys is well situated to take advantage of the wealth of recreational activities in the area including horse riding, cycling, fishing on the rivers Mole and Taw, hunting, shooting and golf courses at High Bickington, Chulmleigh, Barnstaple and Crediton. To the north east the Exmoor National Park offers beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths, whilst the spectacular North Devon coast with its pretty villages and popular sandy beaches of Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe is only about 40 minutes' drive away.

The property is approached over a smart tarmacadam private entrance drive flanked by stone walls and raised lawns, with a cattle grid and side gate. The drive leads to a car parking and turning situated to the front of the bungalow, with pretty rose and flower borders and a further orchard style lawned area. A path leads to the front door, with pathways continuing to either side and the rear of the dwelling. The bungalow is set in a delightful large plot, with the formal garden areas mainly lawned, interspersed with some confers, contained behind beech hedging. Paved patio/sitting out areas adjoin the doors leading out from the dining and sitting rooms. A laurel hedge separates the formal garden from the large vegetable garden, which is now partly lawned with a central dividing pathway. Two timber and felt roofed garden sheds are contained in this garden.
