Metcombe is a pleasant rural hamlet on the outskirts of the very popular village of Tipton St John adjoining open fields with lovely outlooks but only a few minutes level walk from the excellent local amenities, including the highly regarded Primary School. The property also benefits from being within the Kings School catchment area.

The property itself enjoys light, airy and well proportioned accommodation, briefly comprising; reception porch and hallway leading to a spacious, open plan sitting room/dining room with a feature fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove which helps create a cosy atmosphere on a winters evening. There's a conservatory with pleasant garden outlooks and a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room which is fitted with a range of modern cupboards and drawers both at base and eye level whilst incorporating a built-in oven and gas hob. The attractive oak effect work surfaces provide plenty of room for food preparation and provide a breakfast bar for casual dining. A large utility room allows for additional storage and appliance space and a side hall with a cloakroom W.C. concludes the ground floor.

On the first floor are two large bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes and storage with the master benefitting from a dressing area. There is a family bathroom fitted with a modern white suite and on the second floor is another good size bedroom, again with built-in storage. Most of the rooms enjoy a pleasant country view. The house also benefits from a gas boiler, heating hot water on demand and independent gas heaters. The house is fully double-glazed and there is potential to extend the property if required subject to the necessary planning permissions/consents.

To the front of the property is a substantial resin driveway providing off-road parking for several vehicles. The front garden is predominantly open plan with an area of lawn bordered by a barked flowerbed and a patio area to sit and enjoy the sun throughout the day. The rear garden is another appealing feature being a lovely size, backing onto countryside, creating a wonderful feeling of seclusion and privacy. There is a further area of lawn with well-established flowerbeds and a large workshop with light and power which would lend itself as a studio or home office. A greenhouse will please any keen gardener and the decking area creates plenty of room to enjoy outdoor dining/entertaining in the summer months.

Ottery St Mary with its many shops; including Sainsbury's supermarket, schools and amenities is about 3 miles away, as is the coastal resort of Sidmouth. Exeter is about 14 miles.

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted

    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
