Falling comfortably within the catchment area for the Ofsted rated ‘Outstanding’ Uffculme Secondary School, the property would be ideally suited to those looking to take their first step on the ladder or perhaps a young family looking to be within walking distance of the local primary school.

Approached from Prowses a shared path leads past the neighbouring property to the front door of number 16. A small area of garden is situated adjacent to the front door and provides a useful storage shed. Parking is on the street, however, given the location of the property there is often plenty of space just outside.

However, the Local Council may consider allowing persons that do not meet this criteria if they have a strong connection to the area (i.e. in situations where they reside just outside of the Devon border). However, these are considered on a case by case basis and evidence will need to be supplied to demonstrate your connection.
