Chardstock, Axminster, Devon, EX13

Springhayes is a very pretty "chocolate box" cottage, which has recently been completely rethatched and sympathetically refurbished to provide a pleasing blend of character and modern comforts. From an entrance porch, an entrance hall with wood block flooring leads through to the sitting room with inglenook fireplace, bread oven and heavily beamed ceiling. The dining room also has a fireplace with a window seat enjoying the view. The well fitted kitchen/breakfast room has various built-in appliances and an oil fired Heritage range, supplying hot water, heating and cooking. A study and shower room can also be found on the ground floor, as well as a rear porch/utility area. On the first floor are three principal bedrooms, along with a nursery/office and an attractively refitted bathroom with separate shower cubicle. Gardens and Grounds A five-bar gate leads on to a gravelled driveway leading to ample parking along with a sizeable garage and adjoining 27' barn offering flexibility of use along with a cloakroom. Adjoining the driveway is a 20' workshop/studio, again offering adaptable use. The pretty front gardens are laid to well stocked flower beds, whilst the southerly facing rear gardens compliment the house and feature a crazy paved patio taking full advantage of the aspect and view. The well-tended gardens are set on two levels and include lawned areas, well stocked herbaceous beds, a number of well-chosen trees, the lower gardens featuring two ponds, along with a Cedar and Tulip tree and summerhouse. The natural hedging provides considerable seclusion and helps to create a most appealing setting.
