Marriott’s is a super, split level bungalow situated on the edge of this sought after, pretty little Mid Devon village. The gardens are just delightful and there is a 1.25 acre paddock attached!

For me, the garden, grounds and views here are absolutely beautiful and the property has been built to fully appreciate its slightly elevated position - with far reaching, uninterrupted Exe valley views and Bickleigh Castle.

Our vendor has lovingly maintained the property in the 20 years of living here, and the property offers spacious, flexible accommodation yet with the scope to improve and extend if so desired (subject to planning).

From the quiet village road, a five bar gate gives access to Marriott’s' private drive and parking area; ample space for several vehicles. The front door leads to a small entrance hall with a cloakroom and a door into the large utility room - previously the garage, this could be reverted back if needed but it presently offers the most spacious utility area - with plumbing and space for a tumble drier, washing machine, dishwasher and chest freezer, there is ample additional space for further appliances and lots of storage, a sink and worktop space.

Stairs lead to a large hallway giving access to all principle rooms, storage and the airing cupboard.

Immediately your eye is drawn along the hallway, into the lounge and I was quite overwhelmed by the glorious garden and valley views through the large patio doors at the end of the bungalow. In addition, there is a large picture window to the front, just flooding this room with light. You will not fail to be impressed by the views from this room alone! There is an electric fireplace set in a Portuguese sandstone surround and this generous room is extremely calming, aided by the serene duck egg blue decor.

The Springfield kitchen has a range of solid wood, hand painted units and drawers. There is a low level breakfast bar, perfect for morning coffee; a composite sink, integrated double oven and hob, space for a fridge and a stable door to the garden. I love the traditional style larder cupboard and was pleasantly surprised at the vast storage on offer - what I thought was cupboard doors opens into a vast store (above the entrance hall/cloakroom)!

At the end of the hallway is the master bedroom; a peaceful room with a built in wardrobe and its own en-suite shower room with pretty floral sanitaryware.

The family bathroom has a white suite and a shower over the bath. There are two further double bedrooms, both having built in storage, with one of these presently being used as a formal dining room.

Outside, the gardens encircle the bungalow with a small patio area outside the kitchen door, from which steps leads up through a wisteria clad pergola to a stunning garden. A large patio outside of the lounge leads onto a large level lawned area which is interspersed with many beautiful trees and shrubs, including bay, camelias, acers, rhododendrons, apple trees as well as seasonal native primroses and bluebells. This garden has a superb range of established planting for the discerning gardener to enjoy.

The lawns slope up to further improve those stunning views and our vendor has incorporated a nice circular patio seating area, which is a lovely spot for evening drinks. To the rear are gravelled tiers of garden , maybe ideal for raised vegetable plots or an alpine style garden.

There is a five bar gate from the road to the paddock and pedestrian access from the garden. The paddock is circa 1.25 acres and has a couple of stables.

Bickleigh is such a popular village, with a bustling friendly community. Lying in the Exe Valley, it is particurly sought after due to its pretty village centre, the river and its proximity to Exeter. It has a church, primary school, village hall, sports clubs, Bickleigh Mill (a super place for shopping and dining) and the very popular Fishermans Cott Inn, amongst other family friendly amenities. A bus route runs through the village for Tiverton and Exeter.
