Higher Withleigh is approached via a tarmac driveway which loops around the front lawn to provide plenty of parking space and a turning area. The driveway also leads to the carport which is attached to the property and provides storage space above. A further gravel driveway leads to the side of the house and towards the detached barn and stables block. The farmhouse is set in approximately 4.42 acres that includes paddocks, peaceful meadows, well-maintained rolling lawns with wellstocked, colourful flowerbeds and a variety of established shrubs and mature trees. The land is ideal for equestrian usage and also offers small holding opportunities. The property also enjoys a courtyard garden that provides an ideal space for al fresco dining and entertaining.
The property is set in the small village of Withleigh, in a secluded rural location, surrounded by beautiful Devon countryside and just three miles from the town of Tiverton. Withleigh has an active village hall and church and is home to Buzzards woodland which is part of the National Trust. Tiverton provides a wide range of everyday amenities, including a choice of shops, supermarkets, plenty of restaurants and cafés and leisure facilities. The town also offers an excellent selection of schools, including the independent Blundell’s School, for which the property is located within the 10 mile reduced-fee catchment area. The cathedral city of Exeter, about 17 miles away, is the most thriving city in the South West. The city offers a wealth of cultural activities with theatres, many good restaurants, the RAMM museum, an arts centre and a variety of excellent shopping, including John Lewis and IKEA. Schools of note include Exeter School, The Maynard and Exeter College, whilst the university is recognised as one of the best in the country. Communication links are excellent: Tiverton Parkway mainline station provides direct services to London Paddington (some journeys taking under two hours) and Exeter, while the M5 is 10 miles away, offering access to Exeter, Taunton, Bristol and onto the national motorway network.
