Full Property Details

This is an amazing opportunity to purchase a detached village home set in three acres of gardens and paddock, with far reaching views overlooking the Grand Western Canal.

The house, believed to have been built in the 1930’s and being held under the same ownership for the last 15 years or so, offers a fantastic opportunity to put your own stamp on what will be an amazing family house.

Along with the house there is also a timber lodge / annexe which offers a living space, kitchen, a double bedroom and large bathroom. A separate, smaller timber lodge is a useful space for a home office or gym, there are also two stables and a tack room with hardstanding, electricity, lighting and water. A substantial timber store behind the annex would make an ideal workshop.

The Beeches is found towards the edge of Sampford Peverell which is a popular village lying only about a mile from Junction 27 of the M5 motorway, with its adjacent Tiverton Parkway Station (Paddington in about 2 hours). The village has a very active community and also lies within the catchment of Uffculme School - a very popular comprehensive. The Grand Western Canal runs through the village which can be accessed from the property, and there are some lovely walks along the towpath. There is a local store/post office, a pub, a historic old church, primary school, a doctor's surgery/pharmacy, hairdresser, tennis courts, golf driving range and 9-hole course, cricket and football clubs.

There is a good shopping centre in Tiverton which is a thriving market town and provides excellent educational facilities including Blundells Independent School for boys and girls with its associated Blundells Preparatory School. Also in the town is Petroc College of further education and Tiverton High School. There is also a popular Golf Course, sports complex, and a hospital.

The main house has been extended a couple of times and now offers extensive accommodation. The formal front door opens into an impressive reception hall with an attractive turning staircase, and the exposed floorboards appear to be original and reflect the era in which it was built.

The sitting room is a lovely size, and the southerly views are outstanding, and the wood burning stove will keep you cosy. This is also the perfect point from which to keep an eye on whatever is in the paddock! Also found on the ground floor is a light and spacious dining room, an inner hall which has been used as a library / study, a kitchen breakfast room, a large utility room, a cloakroom, the large reception space in the former garage would make a second sitting room or a great gym. This room has underfloor heating and is very well insulated. There is also a study off the rear lobby.

On the first floor are four good double bedrooms, the fifth smaller room has also been used as another study / office. The main bedroom sits above the sitting room and the views from here are even better! There is a decent range of built in wardrobes and an ensuite bathroom. The main bathroom appears to have been two rooms at some point and could well be arranged to provide an en-suite to the adjoining bedroom.

Along with the main drive that leads into The Beeches, there is a second gated access along the boundary of the property leading towards the store, lodges and the land. The main drive continues to the front of the house, where there is plenty of parking and a large turning circle.
Behind the house is a level lawn with various mature shrubs and a fruit bed. The level garden continues to the side of the house where a sheltered patio is found, accessible from the kitchen. At the front of the house is a level seating area which offers out those wonderful views, over the canal to the Blackdown Hills, and beyond. A small swimming pool is great for cooling off on those hot summer days. The land slopes gently towards the canal and offers out the potential for a lifestyle move – a great space for pets or a couple of ponies, chickens, geese, ducks, or just for active children or dogs to run around on! There is a boat shelter located towards the Canal, ideal for storing canoes, kayaks or paddleboards.
