The Property
This once traditional 1970’s bungalow, built of rendered block under a tiled roof, has been transformed into a stylish dwelling in our clients’ ownership. Kimberley has been the subject of an exacting scheme of redesign and improvement both inside and out. Newly designed features such as the wall of glass sliding doors in the sitting room and the bay window in the kitchen/dining room fill the house with an abundance of natural light and make the most of views over the surrounding gardens to the countryside beyond. The parquet wood flooring in the hallway, which is echoed in the wooden floors of the main reception room, and the curved feature wall of glass blocks are inspired by the Art Deco era. The sleek kitchen has an integrated dishwasher and fridge/freezer, whilst the dining area opens into the spacious sitting room. This stunning space has a wood burning stove and sliding doors leading out to the sunny terrace, making this a wonderful area for entertaining. The three double bedrooms are generous in size and the new extension creates a study area leading to the master bedroom suite, with French windows opening onto a private terrace. Kimberley has been redesigned for modern living and is now a beautifully presented home.
Please see floorplan for accommodation and measurements.
Situation
Kimberley is situated in the glorious countryside of the Corry Valley less than half a mile from the popular village of Stockland in the Blackdown Hills National Landscape. Stockland has an active community with an Inn, primary school, church and a village hall with tennis courts. The nearby market town of Axminster some 6 miles distant, offers a choice of supermarkets, independent shops, a sports centre, swimming pool and a mainline railway station on the London Waterloo line (2 hours and 40 minutes). The Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and the resort of Lyme Regis with its famous Cobb Harbour, are only a short drive away. Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property is well placed with easy access to the nearby A303 providing a convenient link to London and Exeter with its international airport and the M5 motorway.
Outside
The property is accessed through double gates into the drive providing parking and access to the new timber Double Garage (5.36m x 4.90m) with attached Stores (4.75m x1.85m). The informal gardens are largely laid to lawn, leading down to the pretty Corry Brook. The brook is bordered by an area of coppice, carpeted with snowdrops, daffodils and bluebells in season, providing a refuge for wildlife. North of the bungalow is the enclosed kitchen garden with raised beds, a greenhouse and timber Goose House. Beyond this is the newly planted orchard and a timber Hen House with run. A versatile open fronted timber Tractor Shed (5.49m x 3.30m) with attached Stores (2.03m x 1.93m) has easy access from the second entrance to the lane. The gently sloping pastureland is currently divided into two recently fenced paddocks, providing protection and appeal to a range of lifestyle interests. In all 3.82 acres (1.55 ha).
