SITUATION
The property occupies a delightful rural position at Madford, a small hamlet of cottages and farms, lying in the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village of Hemyock lies approximately 2 miles to the north and provides a thriving local community with its primary school, parish church, village stores, Post Office, doctor's surgery and public house, whilst the larger centres of Wellington and Honiton both offer a good range of everyday shopping, banking and scholastic services, including primary and secondary schooling as well as the renowned Wellington School. Taunton lies within 12.5 miles of the property affording an extensive range of commercial, educational and recreational facilities befitting those of an important regional and administrative centre, together with a wide range of primary, secondary and further education facilities, including three noted public schools. Despite its rural position the property enjoys easy access to the surrounding districts and further afield with access to the M5 motorway available at Wellington (J26) whilst main line rail services are also available at Taunton, Honiton and Tiverton Parkway. Access to the A303 trunk route at Honiton provides an easy link to London and the South East, with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.

Outside doesn't disappoint with attractive landscaped gardens, in particular a pretty stream bringing an abundance of wildlife. There are numerous terraces placed to enjoy the sun and views alongside a lawn and established trees/shrubs including fruit trees. There is gravel drive leading to a detached thatched car port/barn. To the north side is a separate yard with a range of outbuildings including the former cow sheds, pole barn and Nissan hut with secondary access which offers potential to develop subject to the necessary consents. There is plenty of space for parking. The land adjoins the property and totals about 8.16 acres and is currently split into paddocks.
