5 bedroom detached house

If you are looking for the perfect blend of a modern family home coupled with the health benefits of a stunning rural location then Aylescott Cottage could and probably should be place for you. One of the many benefits you will find to living here is that you will incur no mains water or drainage charges as the property is fed from a new bore hole and is serviced by a brand new water treatment plant. The central heating is an oil fired system which feeds the radiators upstairs and the under floor heating with zonal controls to the ground floor helping to keep the perfect temperature in each room.

Location is key as the age old adage eludes to and this for me is where the house is pretty much unrivalled. Set in an elevated position enjoying 360 degrees of countryside views, some far reaching across fields and woodland alike there is always something different to enjoy. Whilst exploring or relaxing outside you are greeted with all the sounds of the local wildlife from roaming deer, pheasants and the cry of the birds of prey. Although you are away from it all you are also within striking distance of the shops in Barnstaple some thirteen miles away or the nearest train station at Umberleigh only a short 6 mile drive. From here you are only an idyllic train journey into Exeter the County town where an easy change will allow you access to the rest of the country.

The house itself is built over two floors and is a little over two thousand square feet allowing for plenty of family expansion or lots of space to entertain friends and family when they visit. There are many interesting features, none less than the polished concrete floor in the living area sparkling in the sunlight that beams through the large sliding patio doors. These in turn lead out onto a decked seating area, ideal for alfresco dining whilst enjoying those views. The kitchen is a fantastic space with all the mod cons and would be a wonderful space for families to converse at the end of the day or simply brilliant for entertaining. The master bedroom upstairs boasts dual aspect windows to allow you more of that stunning view from a more elevated position as well as an ensuite shower room. There are four other bedrooms and a super-sized four piece family bathroom coupled with a galleried landing. Opportunities like this don’t present themselves often so don’t delay in booking your viewing tour or it could be too late.
