Occupying one of the finest rural locations within the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with stunning far reaching views, an excellent detached country house standing within gardens and grounds of 1.25 acres enjoying privacy and yet well placed for easy communication.

Culm Pyne House dates, we believe, from around 1830 although extended in the 1960’s. Built of rendered and colour washed elevations under slated roofs the house is set within grounds of 1.25 acres that form a peaceful and charming setting. Approached from a driveway the house is centered on a large reception hallway which leads in turn to a large drawing room which benefits from a wide bay window overlooking the gardens and enjoying the long range valley views. A study or snug adjoins whilst beyond is a good sized dining room as well as kitchen and breakfast areas. Four bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms (one en-suite) are present on the first floor - there may also be possibilities of developing the attic space further (subject to the usual consents being obtained). This is a first class property in a superb location and one thoroughly recommended by the selling agents.

The position of Culm Pyne House cannot be overstated as it is one of the finest that the agents have seen for some time. The location is both private and peaceful and enjoys quite superb westerly views along the Culm Valley towards Exeter and even Dartmoor beyond - perhaps 50 miles at times.

Although within the slopes of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the gardens are relatively level - the surrounding countryside is traditional and extremely pretty. The local village of Hemyock affords a good level of local amenities with primary schooling, health centre and convenience stores at hand. The town of Wellington is about 3 miles away where several supermarkets are present together with large sports centre and retail outlets. There are several public schools in the vicinity with three in Taunton (11 miles), Wellington School and Blundells College at Tiverton (11 miles). The M5 may be joined at junction 26 at Wellington and a main line rail station is available either at Taunton (Paddington line) or Honiton (Waterloo line). The A303 which provides good access across southern England may be joined about 5 miles away. Although the property is private it is not in any way remote and neighbours are within easy striking distance.

The property is approached from the adjoining council lane over a sweeping gravelled entrance drive that terminates to one side of the house where ample parking for several vehicles is afforded with a single detached garage also being close by.

The gardens lie predominantly to the western side of the house and are somewhat elevated above the lane and thus spectacular views of the surrounding countryside are afforded with far reaching views particularly in a westerly direction down the Culm Valley stretching towards Exeter and even Dartmoor in the far distance - the quality of the position and outlook cannot be over emphasised.

The gardens provide generous areas of lawn interspersed and adjoined by well stocked flower, rose and herbaceous boarders with several sitting out areas also present one of which includes an attractive small ornamental pond. A number of mature trees are within the grounds close to the southern side of the house largely enclosed within Flintstone walling and benefitting from good pathway approaches. There are some excellent outbuildings with the benefit of power and light whilst at the further end of the gardens an aluminium framed greenhouse and stone built potting shed are also present. The grounds extend in all too approximately 1.25 acres and form a delightful setting to this good quality country house.
