Description
Three bedroom semi-detached home set in 1/4 acre with stunning rural views, requiring renovation.
Situation - Located on the edge of the small hamlet of Wick, the property is set in an elevated position with fantastic views being set below the Iron Age hill fort of Dumpdon, north east of the busy market town of Honiton. Honiton is known for it's history of lace and antiques, and provides a range of amenities including schools and recreational facilities, alongside many specialist antique and book shops. The town also has a station which offers a direct line to London Waterloo.
The A30 provides access to the Cathedral and University City of Exeter with its international Airport, M5 access and mainline rail link to London Paddington. Taunton is to the north, whilst to the south is the coast, much of which is now designated a World Heritage Coastline.
The property is situated in the Blackdown Hills, Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and from the grounds there are superb views across the Otter Valley, with a number of delightful walks and rides in the area.
Description - This semi-detached home is positioned at the top of it's large garden with fantastic views across the valley. Now in need of modernisation and updating, the property provides a fantastic blank canvass to make improvements, with rendered elevations under a likely asbestos slate style roof, the property as metal frame windows.
The accommodation includes an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor, sitting room with fantastic views and feature fireplace, as well as a kitchen/breakfast room with door to the rear and a larder.
On the first floor are three bedrooms (two overlooking the front and views), as well as a family bathroom.
Outside - The large plot extends in all to 0.255 acres (0.1 ha) with parking for one car. The sloping lawns are interspersed with trees and hedging to three sides and a small stream along the bottom. There is a useful timber shed.
Services - Mains water and electric. Private drainage shared with next door in the garden, thought to have been upgraded by EDDC, however this has not been tested. Ultra fast fibre broadband via Gigaclear with up to 1,000 mb/s available, mobile coverage likely inside and outside with EE, O2 Three and Vodafone (Ofcom).
Note - Please note that this is a former East Devon DC property and is therefore subject to a Devon restriction. Further information from Stags.
