ABOUT THE PROPERTY

The Oaks represents a superb smallholding comprising an attractive four bedroomed detached modern country style home extending to almost 7 acres in all, with pasture paddocks and gardens, enjoying delightful village and rural views. The current vendors have adapted the property as an ideal equestrian set up with a range of stabling and outbuildings, nestled on the edge of this popular rural village just 7 miles from the market town of South Molton.

The Oaks offers a wonderful balance of peaceful countryside living with convenient access to local amenities and transport links, making it an ideal home for families, equestrian/agricultural appeal or those seeking a tranquil village lifestyle. The property is available as a whole, or with less land at a lower guide price, if required.

The spacious accommodation which enjoys lots of natural light, briefly comprises, a veranda, large open-plan kitchen/dining room, boot room/utility and cloakroom together with a large living room on the ground floor. On the first floor are four bedrooms, master with en-suite shower room and a family bathroom. Benefitting from double glazing and oil fired central heating with underfloor heating to the ground floor and radiators to the first.

THE GARDENS & LAND

The Oaks is initially approached via a shared driveway, which leads to a private gated sweeping entrance wrapping around the property providing ample off road parking with a large car port to the rear. A further gated spur from the entrance drive leads to the stable block, outbuilding and pastureland divided into multiple enclosures. A real feature of the gardens are the two mature oak trees. Adjoining the rear garden and patio area is an enclosed lawned garden. A further gated entrance from the country lane to the north provides access to the separately enclosed 1.49 Acre paddock. The current vendors investigated the opportunity under an exemption for up to 5 mobile units for holiday use. We understand mains water crosses the land. Further details are available upon request.

In all, the property extends to 6.87 Acres and is available with less land, if required.
