Description
Three double bedroom barn conversion offering beautiful countryside views over rural East Devon, with triple garaging and established gardens. No onward chain.
The Property - This individual barn conversion was believed to have been converted some thirty years ago with the original structure extended to offer a well proportioned spacious property. The attractive stone facade only enhances this charming property which offers the perfect blend of modern living with outstanding views over neighbouring farmland. The Soap House is offered to the market with the benefit of no onward chain with viewings considered essential to appreciate the size and position of the accommodation on offer. The property is equally impressive on the outside, sitting in around 0.5 acres of delightful gardens, incorporating a large south facing terrace, and an excellent array of modern garaging and workshop.
Accommodation - The Soap House offers well-appointed and spacious accommodation, with all principal rooms enjoying a pleasant outlook. To the front elevation a double glazed porch leads into the property with the triple aspect sitting room on your left. This light and airy room has doors leading out to the south facing terrace and a recently installed wood burning stove. The formal dining room is situated on the opposite side of the entrance hall and leads through to a well-appointed kitchen. Fitted with a wide range of units, an oil fired Aga and bi fold doors out to the garden room. There is sizable utility room with WC. To the first floor are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The master suite enjoys the best views from the property as well as it own modern en suite bathroom with separate shower.
Outside - The property is approached from the lane side via a gated gravelled driveway where you will find ample parking and garaging. Beyond the garages is a timber log store along with a small vegetable garden. The majority of the formal gardens sit to the east of The Soap House and include a variety of established shrubs, mature trees along with gentle sloping lawn. Outside water supply and power. In total the buildings, gardens and grounds measure around 0.5 of an acre.
Outbuildings - The Soap House includes one single garage, a double garage and workshop. All have light and power connected and the double garage features an electric roller door.
Situation - The Soap House is located within the parish of Dalwood, set back off Andrewshayes Lane approximately one mile to the south of the village centre. The picturesque village of Dalwood has a well-regarded public house, The Tuckers Arms, community village shop, hall and church, and Burrow Farm Gardens are nearby. The village has an excellent community with various events taking place throughout the year. Dalwood has good access to Axminster (about 4 miles west) and Honiton to the east, both offering a wide range of shopping facilities and mainline railway stations on the Waterloo line. The coast at Lyme Regis and Sidmouth is also within easy reach. The village lies between two ridges of the Blackdown Hills and has been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty since 1991. The scenery, wildlife, geology, and heritage make this a wonderful place to visit and explore.
