4 bedroom house for sale

Overview

Tucked into the gently sloping side of a small hill near its summit, Holly Tree House has a sheltered, south and east facing position with wonderful views out across miles of beautiful countryside. It was refurbished five years ago to a high quality, striking, contemporary design that seeks to blend the house into the landscape. The design incorporates walls protected by pale render up to the level of the first floor, with silvered Siberian larch-cladding above and a slate-coloured composite metal roof. High levels of insulation have been used alongside integral double glazed windows to ensure that the interior remains cosy in the winter and cool in the height of summer. The design also employs wide, floor to ceiling windows that allow natural light to fill the interior and make sure that the wonderful view can be seen from as many rooms as possible. The feeling of light and space inside is complemented by pale, engineered oak flooring throughout much of the ground floor, a striking oak and glass staircase and tasteful decor throughout. The ground floor incorporates a generously sized sitting room, dining hall and a wonderful, open plan kitchen/breakfast room and family room. The kitchen is fitted with a handmade, painted timber unit including an enormous central island along with a range of built-in electric appliances and a gas-fired hob. Both the kitchen and sitting room have sliding doors to the garden. Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom with an ensuite shower room fitted with a double shower. The first floor has a wide and long, part-galleried landing, which is perfect as a further seating/play area or as a home office. Off one side of the landing is the large principal bedroom, which has panoramic views through its floor to ceiling windows and a very large bath and double shower room. Off a second side are two further double bedrooms, each with its own, ensuite shower room.Outbuildings, Garden & GroundsHolly tree house is approached off a little used, country lane via a 120-yard long tarmac drive. Partway along the drive is a spur leading to a parking area in front of the attached large garage, which has sufficient internal space to incorporate workshop/storage space on either side. Attached to the rear of the garage is a large storage room with openings on two sides, which currently serves as a combined garden/log store. At the end of the drive is a further, good sized concrete parking area with space for several cars that slopes gently up towards the side of the house. The garden stretches out from the house on three sides and is primarily lawned to minimise maintenance. The garden is enclosed by post and rail fencing and is dotted with a variety of native broadleaf trees which provide a screen for privacy and added protection from high winds during inclement weather. Within the garden and screened by trees is a large greenhouse and a large soft fruit cage. Beyond the garden is a gorgeous pasture field enclosed by mature field hedging, perfect for grazing. The views from this field are exceptional and you can see all the way to Exmouth and across to Dartmouth. The views are panoramic and unique and are a huge feature of the property. In all the garden and grounds extend to about 7 acres (2.83 hectares).Holly Tree House is situated off a country lane on a hilltop setting and only a few minutes' drive from the village of Bickleigh and the market town of Tiverton. Bickleigh is a small village on the River Exe with a pretty medieval church, pub and primary school (Ofsted rated Good). Tiverton has an excellent variety of shops and local business, including medical, dental and veterinarian surgeries.
