Description

SITUATION
Chattan Hall Cottage is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just outside of the bustling market town of Axminster, enjoying far reaching views over the Axe Valley and beyond.

Axminster is about 1 mile away, with independent shops, cafes and restaurants, a main line railway station with
direct trains to Waterloo, and Exeter and easy access to the A35 to Bridport or Honiton. Lyme Regis is a short drive away, the nearest town on the World Heritage Jurassic Coast. It has a wide range of shops, boutiques and eateries, a picturesque historic harbour and cobb. There are also recreational and sporting facilities including a theatre, clifftop golf course, sailing club, diving, sea fishing and bowls. Half an hour away, Exeter provides a broader array of shopping, eating and entertainment, small international airport and access to the M5.

Many excellent local schools and sixth forms, including Colyton Grammar School, one of England's top mixed state schools.

THE PROPERTY
Chattan Hall Cottage is a wonderful detached house with origins that date back to the mid-19th century and was
formally the Gardners cottage for the Chattan Hall Estate. During the mid 1990’s the property was beautifully
extended and now has exceptionally spacious accommodation which has been recently further enhanced with new windows, doors and a superb kitchen. The oil centrally heated accommodation has an entrance hall which leads to the bright and spacious triple aspect sitting room with a wood burner and access to the gardens. There are two further well-proportioned reception rooms which are used as a tv room and a separate dining room. The kitchen/breakfast room has just been replaced with a beautiful Wrens design with white quartz tops, Belfast sink and a bespoke breakfast bar. Also, on the ground-floor is a utility room and a modern cloakroom. On the first-floor are the four double bedrooms, three have en-suite showers and the fourth has a wc.

GARDENS & GROUNDS
Chattan Hall Cottage is access through a five bar metal gate to a good-sized shingled parking and turning area in front of the house. The enclosed southerly facing gardens have formal gardens with a mixture of lawn and shingled areas and a separate paddock that extends to circa 0.5 acres. There is an excellent timber framed detached
outbuilding which is currently used as a hobbies room/studio. There is an additional paddock which is also owned by the property and also measures approximately 0.5 acres which is included in the sale.
