Features and description
Sheldon Court is a beautifully presented country house with spacious reception rooms and good-sized bedrooms. The property is not listed and has retained its original period features including open fireplaces, some cornicing, high ceilings, large sash windows and well-proportioned rooms. Together with its outbuildings, Sheldon Court offers over 6,500 sq. ft. of internal accommodation.
An entrance porch gives access to the ground floor accommodation. There is a large dining room with an open fireplace and a quarry tiled floor, a double aspect drawing room with a bay window and a wood burner, a welcoming sitting room with another open fireplace, as well as a light and bright garden room. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room is at the heart of the home, featuring stylish fitted units, granite worktops, a Rangemaster cooker, quarry tiled flooring and an adjacent larder. There is also a preparation kitchen with a range of fitted units and a breakfast bar, plus a utility room. Upstairs, there are six well-proportioned bedrooms, all with lovely views of the gardens and surrounding beautiful landscape. The double aspect principal bedroom has the benefit of an elegant en suite shower room, whilst there are two family bathrooms which service the other bedrooms.
Local Authority: East Devon District Council.
Services: Mains electricity and water. Private drainage. Oil fired central heating.
Council Tax: Band G.
Rights of Way: There is a public footpath across the top two fields. Further information is available from the vendor's agent.
Planning: Prospective purchasers are advised that they must make their own enquiries of East Devon District Council.
Sheldon Court enjoys an idyllic yet easily accessible location within the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, set within picturesque countryside with a wealth of wild flora and fauna, footpaths and winding lanes. There are countless opportunities for a range of outdoor pursuits in the local area, as well as the Jurassic Coastline and Exmoor National Park, both of which are within easy reach. The villages of Hemyock and Dunkeswell are both nearby, between them providing facilities including GP surgeries, pubs, Post Offices, grocery stores, a petrol station, vets surgery, primary school and vehicle servicing.
Communication links in the area are excellent. Honiton and the A30 are approximately 8 miles away, Taunton 14.5 miles and Exeter just 19 miles away. Tiverton Parkway Station, approximately 8.5 miles away, offers regular journeys to London Paddington in less than two hours.
There is an excellent selection of schools in the area. State schools include Broadhembury C of E School, Hemyock Primary School, Kentisbeare C of E Primary School, Uffculme School (rated Outstanding by Ofsted) and Honiton Community College. Independent schools in the area include Blundell’s, Wellington, Queen’s College, Exeter School and The Maynard.
Sheldon Court is approached via a private drive which gives access to a large gravelled area in front of the house with space for numerous vehicles to park. The wonderful gardens surround the house on all sides, affording complete privacy, and comprising large areas of lawn bordered with mature shrubs, colourful flowerbeds and trees. Directly adjacent to the house is a paved seating area within a pretty ‘walled garden’ area. Further from the house is a spacious raised decked terrace and a neighbouring paved barbeque area, with outdoor power supply and accent lighting, both with fabulous views of the surrounding landscape. A set of stairs leads down from the decked terrace to a large paved outdoor swimming pool area. The adjacent brick-built summerhouse is a highly versatile space, complete with kitchen units, space for a fridge freezer, plumbing for a dishwasher, plenty of storage for pool equipment, and a Victorian style overhead pulley clothes airer for drying swimming kit in situ. This delightful pool area provides ideal space for entertaining. There is also a tennis court within the grounds. The remaining land comprises well-fenced fields of pasture.
Outbuildings include a stable block which is situated behind the house, providing six loose boxes, a tack room and store, with water and electricity connected. There is also a good-sized wood store.
A notable highlight of this property is its very large 59ft. barn within the grounds, which was converted from an agricultural barn to a cabinet maker’s workshop, with single and three phase wiring. Planning permission has recently been obtained to convert the barn into a separate four bedroom, three bathroom dwelling. The plans can be viewed on the East Devon District Council’s planning portal under reference no. 20/0917/FUL.
