Description

To view this property please quote MK-1185974

An exceptionally rare opportunity to buy a hidden country estate of some 108 acres nestled into a part wooded valley with surrounding fields. Breaming with wildlife and huge potential to create an idyllic hideaway home with existing 7 bedroom property and outbuilding, now requiring modernisation.

A truly unique estate and an opportunity to acquire a most peaceful and tranquil peace of East Devon countryside located only a short distance from Axminster, and within easy reach of the stunning Jurassic Coast and the coastal towns of Seaton and Lyme Regis.

The property was designed and commissioned by the current owner in the late 1980?s purposely for dual generation living having an almost mirrored plan of accommodation to either side. It could very easily be re-arranged into one large home, or the original layout could be taken advantage of by having a separate home possibly to be used for income, cross generation living or for a guest cottage. Having an internal size of approximately 5000sqft plus huge potential to extend further subject to consent.

A new owner could create a very special and unique home, being hidden amongst its own surroundings and away from noise and light pollution the land is primarily made up of open pasture fields and woodland. It is abundant with native trees, plants and wildlife that have thrived for decades mostly undisturbed. It has become a haven for many birds and many rare species having being left to evolve at its own pace, simply the perfect place for any lover of nature.

Opposite the house a large stone barn was also erected, built with a double skin wall on a solid base it was always the intention for the building to be potentially used as secondary living accommodation. It now offers huge scope and potential for multiple uses whether that be for additional residential use (subject to consent) or it could make the perfect outbuilding for storage, home office or a recording studio.

The house and grounds provide a sanctuary to those within it, and this truly unique and special home holds all the key ingredients to create a very special and idyllic hideaway country home.
