4 bedroom detached house for sale

Hylands offers a fabulous opportunity to purchase this detached, late 18th Century property situated at Seven Crosses, on the outskirts of Tiverton, providing a rural feel and yet very close to the town and conveniences, offered to the market with no onward chain.

DESCRIPTION
Originally two cottages, the property has been amalgamated and extended over the years and now provides for well-proportioned family accommodation, situated within a good sized plot of around 0.75 of an acre. Whilst in need of a degree of modernisation and updating, Hylands certainly provides the potential for extending, subject to the necessary planning conditions. The current Vendors have carried out a number of upgrading works in the past year, to include new fascias on the main house and new guttering to the main house and large outbuilding. The accommodation comprises;  

UPVC glazed front door with two side windows leading into the Entrance Porch with two further side windows. Secondary front door into the Sitting Room a great sized reception room with front aspect through bay window and open stone-built fireplace with oak bresummer beam over and stone hearth. A beam separates the room with a rear area with further former fireplace (not currently used) with feature stonework.  French doors lead to the outside and the stair case leads up to the first floor. From the Sitting Room, a door leads into the Kitchen/Breakfast Room which is fully fitted with a matching range of pine fronted wall, base and drawer units. Continuous work surface over with composite double bowl sink unit. Four ring electric hob with extractor hood over and microwave under, integrated dishwasher and built-in double electric oven. The breakfast area is fitted with further cupboards, including housing the tumble drier and providing plumbing for a washing machine. There is a small seating area with breakfast bar and an integrated fridge and freezer. Inner Hallway provides access to the outside. Shower Room fitted with suite comprising close coupled WC, pedestal wash basin and fully tiled shower enclosure with inset mains shower. An internal door leads into the double garage with power, light and electric door as well as housing the oil-fired boiler. The Dining Room provides a good sized reception room with front aspect through a pretty full-height bay window and has a former fireplace which is currently blocked, which can be accessed via the Kitchen/Breakfast Room and the Sitting Room.

Stairs rise to the first floor landing with side window providing additional natural light. Family Bathroom fitted with large corner spa bath, separate fully tiled shower enclosure with inset mains shower, pedestal wash basin and close coupled WC. Airing cupboard with relatively modern Megaflow water system. Bedroom 2 a good sized double bedroom with full-height bay window with views to the front. Bedroom 4/Study – currently used as a Home office – could be a single bedroom with front aspect. Bedroom 1 a good sized master bedroom with front aspect through a full-height bay window and an extensive range offitted wardrobes. Bedroom 3 a good sized double bedroom with lovely far reaching rural views to the rear.

OUTSIDE
The property is approached via a tarmac drive with gated access and attractive stone retaining wall. The driveway leads to the front of the property and provides parking for numerous vehicles, as well as leading to the double garage with a boarded loft area, accessible by folding steps. To the front of the property are pretty gardens. Past the double garage, there is a large outbuilding with a further double garage within (with no vehicular access), with up and over door and side personal door.

Continuing behind these, the extensive domestic gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and fully enclosed within beech hedging with mature trees. Directly behind the property, there is a modern composite decking area, housing the hot tub (to be included in the sale) with gazebo over and bar area. A further building houses the sauna, with separate shower cubicle.

From the Sitting Room, there is a large paved seating area surrounded by nice attractive brick walling, and with numerous separate bench seating areas. A gate leads to a further area of lawn, with store cupboard. Wrought iron gates lead out to the far side of the property, with a much larger area of garden predominantly laid to lawn, with large poly tunnel and interspersed with numerous fruit trees. There is also a greenhouse and the well (supplying the water to the property).

SITUATION
Hylands occupies a slightly elevated but secluded position, lying on the edge of Tiverton and with attractive views over gently undulating countryside of Mid Devon.  Tiverton is a popular town, straddling the River Exe and affording a comprehensive range of commercial, recreational and educational facilities, including the noted public school of Blundells for which the property falls within  the 10% reduced fee catchment area.  To the east lies the M5 (J27) and with mainline rail connections available adjacent to this junction at Tiverton Parkway.
