LOCATION
Seckerleigh House is set in a peaceful elevated position, almost midway between Tiverton and Cullompton, surrounded by beautiful and unspoilt Mid-Devon countryside, enjoying spectacular and far reaching views. Tiverton itself is steeped in heritage, with the grand 17th-century Tiverton Castle and the elegant architecture of Blundell’s School offering a glimpse into its storied past. A thriving community, Tiverton boasts a bustling pannier market, independent shops, and a selection of fine eateries and traditional pubs. It also includes supermarkets, including an M&S, banks, a leisure centre, and a golf course.

Seckerleigh House is well located, being within easy reach of communication links, local amenities and schools, including Blundell’s School at Tiverton where it falls within the 10 mile radius. The M5 Motorway can be accessed at either Cullompton or Tiverton, where there is also a mainline train station at Tiverton Parkway, providing direct links to London Paddington in just under two hours.

THE PROPERTY
Seckerleigh House is a superb family home, formerly two workers’ cottages, now seamlessly combined and thoughtfully extended to create a spacious and characterful home. Situated in a peaceful rural position near to Tiverton, the property offers a harmonious blend of period charm and modern comfort, ideal for both relaxed family living and entertaining on a grander scale.

The ground floor is centred around a striking dining room, a magnificent space with vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers, dual aspect windows, and French doors opening to the garden. A separate sitting room enjoys direct access to the terrace and uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside, while the snug provides a cosy retreat.

The heart of the home is the impressive Kitchen/Breakfast Room, laid with natural stone flooring and fitted with classic Shaker-style units. A sociable island with breakfast bar and an electric Aga create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The adjoining Conservatory offers a light-filled seating area with panoramic views over the rolling hills.

Additional ground floor accommodation includes a useful utility room, two cloakrooms, and a study-which could serve as a fifth bedroom if required. Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite is accessed via a private staircase and features a generous dressing room and en suite bathroom. A second en suite bedroom provides excellent guest accommodation, while two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor. All bedrooms enjoy views over the gardens or surrounding countryside, enhancing the sense of privacy and tranquillity.

OUTSIDE
The gardens and grounds are a particular feature of Seckerleigh House. Beautifully landscaped and meticulously maintained, they include formal lawns, established flower beds, and specimen trees, including a striking tulip tree. A sun terrace lies directly off the kitchen, perfectly positioned to enjoy the views and ideal for alfresco dining.

Beyond the formal gardens lies a productive Working Garden with raised beds, a fruit cage, and a charming orchard. A Paddock, stream, and pond complete the grounds, which extend to approximately 3.3 acres in total.

Outbuildings include a substantial Detached Workshop and Garage, a timber framed barn (with potential for conversion to stabling), a Summer House, and a Stone Barn currently used for storage and Greenhouse.
