Description

Manormead is a detached chalet-style home set within approximately 1.5 acres of private gardens and grounds, offering excellent potential for improvement and modernisation. Available with no onward chain, the property includes a range of outbuildings, ample parking, and scope for further development, subject to the necessary consents.

Built in the 1930s, the accommodation is spacious and versatile, featuring a welcoming T-shaped entrance hall, three reception rooms, a large kitchen/diner with Rangemaster cooker and central island, separate utility room, side porch, double bedroom, bathroom, and two first-floor double bedrooms serviced by a WC.

Outside, a horseshoe driveway, carport, detached studio/workshop, greenhouse, sheds, and summer house complement the extensive grounds. The gardens are a particular feature, comprising formal lawns, mature planting, woodland, a stream, and ponds, creating a private and picturesque setting surrounded by open countryside. A separate roadside access to the grounds may also offer future development potential, subject to planning approval.

Situated in a desirable semi-rural location, the property enjoys easy access to Umberleigh village, the A377, and Umberleigh railway station, providing convenient links to Barnstaple and Exeter. Nearby villages offer a range of amenities including schools, shops, pubs, healthcare facilities, and leisure clubs, while Barnstaple, the North Devon coastline, Exmoor National Park, and the M5 motorway are all within easy reach.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER:

These particulars, whilst believed to be accurate are set out as a general guideline and do not constitute any part of an offer or contract. Intending Purchasers should not rely on them as statements of representation of fact, but must satisfy themselves by inspection or otherwise as to their accuracy. Please note that we have not tested any apparatus, equipment, fixtures, fittings or services including heating and so cannot verify they are in working order or fit for their purpose. Furthermore, Solicitors should confirm moveable items described in the sales particulars and, in fact, included in the sale since circumstances do change during the marketing or negotiations. Although we try to ensure accuracy, if measurements are used in this listing, they may be approximate. Therefore if intending Purchasers need accurate measurements to order carpeting or to ensure existing furniture will fit, they should take such measurements themselves. Photographs are reproduced general information and it must not be inferred that any item is included for sale with the property.
