Full Details for 6 Bedroom Detached for sale in Axminster, EX13 :

The Old Vicarage is an extremely spacious detached country residence of immense character, offering six bedrooms, two bathrooms, shower room and cloakroom, four lovely reception rooms, a large conservatory, office and kitchen. The grand hall with oak staircase is a superb feature and the accommodation lends itself to a variety of lifestyles; plenty of space for a large family or even two (there are two staircases), great for homeworking with entertaining space as well. The former Coach House offers scope for an annexe, letting or storage.



The house was built in 1863 amongst the Shute Estate, having some excellent architectural features and built of local flint stone under a slated roof. There is an oil-fired central heating system and the house has been well maintained by the present owner over the years and includes contemporary bathrooms and a Martha Mockford kitchen. Some general upgrading and refurbishment will make this an even more comfortable home.



The gardens and grounds are a wonderful feature having a wide array of shrubs, trees, lawns and hedging with some far-reaching views over the Umborne Valley in a southerly direction towards the sea. There is plenty of parking space, garaging and the total area with the house amounts to approximately 3.24 acres.



The house is approached over a gravel drive to the two storey stone and slate former Coach House (approximately 40' x 16') which is divided into stables for three horses, former tack room and trap house with staircase rising to an extensive loft area above. There is plenty of parking space in front as well as an open-fronted stone and slate garage with brick floor and space for two or three vehicles.



In all, a unique house offering potential and adaptable accommodation enjoying privacy yet excellent accessibility. 

SHUTE This is a tiny hamlet roughly midway between the towns of Honiton and Axminster and close to the country town of Colyton with its highly regarded Colyton Grammar School.

The motorway can also be reached at Taunton which is approximately 19 miles away. 

DIRECTIONS From Honiton take the A35 Axminster Road and continue through the village of Wilmington. After several more miles you will come to a large garage with Little Chef at Taunton Cross, turn right here signposted Shute and Whitford. After approximately 0.75 of a mile, a drive to The Old Vicarage will be found on the right hand side.
