The rear of the house faces almost due south and the layout is configured so that the maximum number of rooms can take full advantage of the available natural light and the view. This means that all four reception rooms and four of the house's five bedrooms are filled with light and look out across countryside that has changed little over the last four hundred years. This is particularly applicable in the most recent extension where the large living room on the ground floor and the principal bedroom above it both have tall, wide windows on three sides taking in a full 180°sweep from early morning through to late evening.
The living room and adjacent dining room together form a wonderful,
south and west-facing space for entertaining at one end of the house.
At the other end the kitchen and adjacent sitting room provide a cosier,
family-centric hub on cold winter evenings and when the British weather is at its most unfriendly. The kitchen has good views too with windows on two sides looking out onto farmland. It is fitted with a range of base and wall units under melamine work surfaces and built-in electric appliances.
Upstairs off the part-galleried and centrally positioned landing are five double bedrooms. The principal bedroom and adjacent guest bedroom both have their own en suite bathrooms, with the three remaining bedrooms sharing the family bathroom.
Outbuildings, garden and grounds
Heathfield is set back from the passing lane with a tarmac parking area extending along much of the front of the house. This has space for a handful of cars and the house's integral, double garage opens directly onto it.
The garden wraps around three sides of the house and is designed to require minimal maintenance with a paving extending around one end of the house passing the kitchen and behind it to provide a wonderful outside space for seating and dining in fine weather. The paving then gives way to lawn bound by mature hedging, which provides both privacy from neighbouring properties and a stock-proof barrier for livestock.
Heathfield is situated off a country lane in an open country setting within the Blackdown Hills AONB, about two miles from the village of Culmstock, which has a medieval parish church, café/store, pub and primary school (Ofsted rated Good). Neighbouring Uffculme has additional local amenities including a post office/village store plus other shops, a library and two schools, of which the secondary school is Ofsted rated Outstanding.
The nearby town of Cullompton is handy too with a Tesco Superstore and a selection of local shops and businesses including GP, dental and veterinary surgeries.
Local transport links are extremely good with the M5 only 5 minutes away and a regular train service running between Exeter and Cullompton. You can reach Tiverton Parkway in less than 10 minutes and Honiton station is also very close. Both of which offer regular train services to Paddington and Waterloo respectively. Exeter International Airport is also just a 25 minute drive away.
The local area also offers a wide choice of schools both from the independent and state sectors including Exeter School, The Maynard and Exeter Cathedral School, which are all in Exeter itself, along with Blundell's School in Tiverton.
