A picturesque and charming detached country house with separate stylish and contemporary annex, nestled in established grounds of 0.4 acre alongside a separate additional 1 acre paddock. In total 1.44 acres.
Appledore cottage provides a fine blend of period Features with a balance of modern day conveniences to include an inglenook fireplace and exposed Timbers alongside a stylish kitchen with partial granite work surfaces and an air source heat pump system. There is a tremendous feel of space in the open plan kitchen dining area being triple aspect and granting direct access to the truly stunning oak framed garden room. Considerable time and expense has been taken with the creation of this unique room with a lead lined roof incorporating a Chinese Lantern skylight designed to capture the stunning viewpoint over the established gardens. Within the landscaped gardens is a detached double garage providing a first floor annex which again has been cleverly created to captivate the views over the adjoining countryside.

There is also a separate one acre paddock providing a stable with adjoining hay barn and separate fruit cage all again appreciating the rural outlook.
If privacy is high on the agenda then this idyllic location which is set away from passing traffic offering considerable seclusion and being surrounded by open countryside is worthy of a viewing.
Situation
Appledore is nestled in a delightful semi-rural setting along an unmade lane with views over the surrounding countryside, close to the Devon/Dorset border on the southern outskirts of this popular village. Hawkchurch has an active community with many societies, primary school, pub inn, holiday resort and spa, 12th century church and recently expanded community shop. The surrounding countryside has an abundance of public footpaths and bridleways for country pursuits. The Jurassic Coast World Heritage site and famed resort of Lyme Regis are about 6 miles away. This popular resort with its famous Cobb and sand beach, provides a range of independent shops and restaurants. The market town of Axminster (4 miles) offers all of the facilities one would expect from a small market town including supermarkets, doctor’s surgery and recreational facilities including a sports centre and swimming pool. A main line station providing access to London Waterloo and the home of River Cottage HQ situated in the nearby Trinity Hill area. Despite its tranquil setting this secluded retreat is well placed with excellent transport connections both east and west with the A30/A303 and the A35 coast roads. The Cathedral city of Exeter is easily accessible with its excellent shopping facilities, theatres, national league sports clubs, international airport and access to the M5.

Twin up and over electrically operated roller doors and access to the workshop, it also houses an independent oil boiler for the annex and a Separate WC for gardeners convenience.
