Tucked away amidst the unspoilt rolling farmland of Mid Devon, Butcombe enjoys panoramic views and a wonderful sense of privacy, all while being within easy reach of the thriving village of Morchard Bishop and the market town of Crediton.

Approached via a quiet private lane, a gated brick entrance opens onto a gated, gravelled drive providing generous parking for numerous vehicles. A large double garage with high clearance and electric door is ideal for housing a motorhome or larger vehicles and includes a rear workshop. The property benefits from three-phase electricity, allowing for further expansion or the installation of an EV charger if desired.

ACCOMMODATION
Inside is presented to a superb standard, with flexible and spacious accommodation perfectly suited to family life, home working or multi-generational living. Of particular note is the lower ground floor, which enjoys plenty of natural light and a private entrance, kitchen/living area, and an en suite bedroom - ideal as a self-contained annexe, guest suite or for Airbnb use. The main entrance leads into a welcoming hallway, with a shower room/WC nearby. The principal reception room is triple-aspect and filled with natural light, featuring a wood burning stove and views over the surrounding gardens. The impressive kitchen/dining room was designed and fitted by Country Kitchens, featuring a striking Red Rayburn, polished granite work surfaces, and a full range of integrated appliances. This sociable and functional space flows into a delightful garden room to the rear, with a charming outlook overlooking the gardens.

Upstairs on the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all with en suite facilities. The principal suite benefits from both a bath and a separate shower. The top floor provides a further bedroom or home office and useful eaves storage.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The gardens and grounds extend to approximately 1.6 acres and have been thoughtfully landscaped to maximise both beauty, nature and functionality. The level lawns are interspersed with mature planting and hedging, creating a sense of space and privacy. Timber boardwalks lead to the main entrance, offering a unique approach and doubling as charming seating terraces - ideal for enjoying the summer sunshine and garden views.

There is a discreetly positioned polytunnel for those interested in productive gardening, alongside composting areas and custom-built micro-mesh aviaries suitable for chickens or ducks. A wildlife pond lies within view of the property, adding both visual appeal and biodiversity to the grounds by attracting birds and native wildlife throughout the seasons.
