5 bed bungalow for sale

Withleigh, Tiverton, Devon EX16

A versatile five bedroom house, set in just under two acres of gardens and grounds, including a swimming pool, just minutes from Tiverton.

This is a spacious five bedroomed house built in the early 1980’s, set in approximately 1.9 acres. Tucked away on the edge of the village of Withleigh. Located just 3 miles from the market town of Tiverton and just 15 minutes’ drive from Junction 27 of the M5 and associated Parkway Railway Station, Tanglewood offers a great opportunity to own a wonderful family home located in a convenient and accessible position.

The property is situated adjacent to the locally known ‘Buzzards Valley’ – renowned for the haven of wildlife in residence. You can imagine sitting on the balcony on a quiet night, taking in the beautiful setting and listening to the wildlife.
There are country walks in abundance right on your doorstep here including the National Trust owned 'Buzzards Woodland' boasting beautiful scenery through the valley of the Little Dart. Otters are often spotted playing here, very special indeed and quite a rarity.

The versatile accommodation offers an opportunity for multigenerational living with the possibility of creating an annexe. The house is set into the hill, so it has the appearance of a bungalow from the roadside, but it is a surprisingly large house.

The first floor offers a large open plan kitchen, dining, living room which is a fantastic ‘hub’ of the home and brings the family together. Double doors open out and onto a raised deck, from which there is a lovely outlook, and being south facing takes in a great deal of sunshine and really is a very quiet spot.

The kitchen is well fitted and plenty of storage provided. The central island unit has a breakfast bar to one end. The sitting room can be accessed from the dining area, or from the main hallway, and provides a cosier and perhaps quieter spot away from the family – a great place to ‘retire to’ in the evenings. A double bedroom and two single bedrooms, all with built in wardrobes, and a bathroom complete the accommodation on the first floor.

Stairs lead down to the ground floor, where you will find a large sitting / family room. Large double glazed sliding doors open to the front gardens and driveway. Two double bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes are found on this level, along with a shower room and a utility room.
Both floors could be adapted to be independent of one another which could very well suit multi-generation living and those wanting their own independence.

A drive leads off the main road, and to the rear of the neighbouring property. There is plenty of parking at the end and also a timber garage and store a short way along.

The gardens and grounds all lie to the south of the property and gently slope towards the valley. The swimming pool is nicely enclosed with mature hedging, a patio seating area, and a small summer / pool house for changing or storage of pool accessories.
The larger of the two paddocks lies beyond the pool area and a further smaller paddock (separate title) lies directly south of the property.

This is a great ‘lifestyle’ property suitable for a pony, or small holding, vegetable plots, chickens etc… Or, just plenty of space for the kids to tear around in!

The small village of Withleigh lies about three miles from Tiverton and affords some stunning country views from the property out over the National Trust valley of Buzzards and beyond to the surrounding hills. In Tiverton can be found a good shopping centre and excellent educational and recreational facilities, including a new leisure centre and a new hospital currently under construction. There is fast dual carriageway access to the M5 Junction 27 and Parkway Station (Paddington in about two hours).
