Burrington, Umberleigh, Devon, EX37

As agents we understand the property to be in excess of 100 years old and is built of stone and cob under a slate roof. Being offered for sale for the first time since it was purchased by our clients back in 1975 this home represents an ideal opportunity form any new purchaser to stamp their own mark on it.

Approached down a track, part of which the local farmers have use over, the drive menders its way down until reaching a tarmacadam stretch leading onwards down to the side of the house where a small turning area is found. Not only do you get a sense of the setting coming down the drive but alighting and walking onto the front lawn the setting really does open up with the ground sloping away to the front and up behind the house. The house has double glazing and two rooms downstairs one being a triple aspect sitting/dining room with impressive slate fireplace with a multifuel burning stove sat upon a slate slab hearth. Across the hall is a kitchen/breakfast room with a range of wall and floor units, extensive work tops, under stair larder and a Rayburn for providing hot water and for cooking. There is plenty of appliance space for slot in cooker, fridge freezer and washing machine. A straight run of stairs leads to the first floor galleried landing where there is a very large main bedroom with wash hand basin and lovely views across the valley. There are further bedrooms again having views across the valley. Rounding off the accommodation is the family bathroom having a three piece suite.

Grounds
Living here is all about embracing nature with a big hug and enjoying the woodland and at this time of year filled with blue bells, wild garlic and such. The lawn at the front of the house is an ideal place for a picnic table as ably demonstrated by our clients. One can only imagine what it is like to spend time in this amazing setting listening to the calls of nature, burbling water and the winds rustling through the trees.

Agents Note
