The Compass is a unique detached property set in an enviable location between the popular villages of Shute and Kilmington. Originally built, we believe, in the 1930’s as a Gardener’s Cottage.
The Compass was named as such due to the 360 degree views it commanded and has large, sash windows which have been painstakingly restored. Being semi-rural and one of just 7 properties in the immediate area, The Compass offers a quiet retreat yet only a few minutes away from amenities. During the 20 years of current ownership the property has evidently had a significant amount of time, effort and money
invested into the property to uncover its potential and create the fabulous and beautifully presented home that we find today.
The generous accommodation is well planned, being laid out so as to make the most of the outstanding panoramic views which lie predominantly to the East. Worthy of particular note is the lofty master bedroom to the first floor, which, although being converted within the roof space, offers excellent height and fully glazed doors and side panels to a balcony which is a fantastic spot from which to enjoy the views. This room leads to an amazing ensuite bathroom with bath and velux windows allowing for plenty of natural light. The excellently proportioned garden room adds another asset to the property, being wooden framed with a pitched, glazed roof and, again, in the perfect position to enjoy the views over your own land to the countryside beyond.
Kilmington is also close-by and has two public houses, village hall, primary school, parish church and popular farm shop and is situated about 2 miles west of the market town of Axminster. Axminster has a mainline rail link to Waterloo, Tesco’s store and a good range of independent shops and restaurants.
The bustling market town of Honiton is some 8 miles to the west, which also has an extensive range of amenities. The property also lies only 5 miles away from the renowned Colyton Grammar School, one of England’s top mixed state schools. The World Heritage Jurassic Coast at Lyme Bay lies approximately 7 miles to the south, and the Cathedral City of Exeter is some 24 miles to the west. Exeter has an excellent shopping centre, mainline express rail link to London (Paddington), international airport and access to the M5 motorway.
The property is approached through a gated driveway which offers ample parking with the benefit of a detached single garage and a timber-built double stable block. The gardens wrap around the property and include a decked area which can also be accessed through the French doors in the kitchen. There is a vegetable plot, small orchard with apple and pear trees and also an area to the rear of the stables which used to house the chickens with a secret garden area with grasses and wild flowers.The paddock offers a high grade of land with fencing separating it from the garden and is approximately an acre in size. The grounds in total amount to approximately 1.29 acres.
