Yowlestone House (c.5k sq ft) is a large, comfortable country home with six bedrooms and six well-proportioned reception rooms. Next to the main house are two further properties — one house (’The Barn House’) and one cottage – both with beautiful views and their own gardens. The whole property is privately situated within its own land of about 19.4 acres. The two houses, cottage and assorted outbuildings comprise approximately 10,423 sq. Ft.
In the main house, the reception rooms include an impressive 31ft dual aspect drawing room with fireplaces at either end, a sitting room with a wood burning stove and a door opening onto the garden, a formal dining room and a library. There is also a south-facing garden room and a sun room, both of which welcome plenty of natural sunlight. The large and generously proportioned kitchen features a good range of wooden fitted units and a four oven aga within an inglenook. Upstairs, three of the six double bedrooms have built-in storage. The principal bedroom has a large en suite bathroom, while one further bedroom has an en suite bathroom, and two share a Jack and Jill en suite. There is also a family bathroom.
The Barn House (2.2k sq ft)
The Barn House has views to the east and south and a substantial garden with a patio. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms (one en suite), a further small room that could be used either as a small child’s bedroom or a study, and a family bathroom. The ground floor consists of a large sitting room with a wood-burning stove, a kitchen-diner, a generous study (that could be a further double bedroom or a playroom), and a shower room.
The Cottage (1.3k sq ft)
Ideal as rental accommodation, the cottage has three upstairs bedrooms and a family bathroom with a large walk-in cupboard. The ground floor consists of a kitchen-dining room, a sitting room with fireplace, a loo and a further double bedroom / study / playroom. There is a private garden with a patio terrace and a beautiful view to the east.
Local Authority: Mid Devon District Council.
Services: Mains electricity and water. Private septic tank drainage. Oil fired central heating.
Council Tax: Band D.
Tenure: Freehold.<br /><br />The house and cottages are located down a private drive, with a courtyard providing extensive parking for both residents and guests. The far-reaching gardens and grounds provide an excellent level of privacy and include rolling lawns and meadows, wooded areas, various mature trees and open fields and paddocks. A stream runs along the eastern boundary, feeding a number of wildlife ponds which provide a haven for native flora and fauna. Outbuildings include two double garages, several stores and a timber-clad barn.<br /><br />Yowlestone House is set in a peaceful rural location, between the villages of Pennymoor and Puddington, and surrounded by beautiful Devon countryside. Despite its idyllic rural setting, the property is only 8.5 miles from Tiverton and 14.5 miles from Exeter. There are many local opportunities for walking, cycling and riding, and the National Parks of Exmoor and Dartmoor are found to the north and south respectively.
Tiverton, approximately 8.5 miles away, has a comprehensive range of shopping facilities including a number of supermarkets, banks, a hospital, leisure centre and 18-hole golf course. There are schools for all ages including the well-regarded Blundell’s School and Preparatory School, for which the property falls within the reduced-fee catchment area. Tiverton Parkway Station (an approximate 25 minute drive away) provides regular services to London Paddington in a little over two hours.
Exeter, just 14.5 miles away, is the most thriving city in the South West and offers a wide choice of cultural activities with the theatre, the museum, arts centre and a wealth of good restaurants and shopping including John Lewis. Many good primary and secondary schools can be found in Exeter including Exeter School, Exeter College (Ofsted 'Outstanding') and The Maynard, whilst Exeter University is recognised as one of the best universities in the country.
Communication links are excellent: The M5 motorway provides links to the A38 to Plymouth, or the A30 to Cornwall to the South and Bristol and London to the north and east. Exeter International Airport provides a good range of flights to domestic and European destinations.
