Sanders Barnstaple occupies a glorious setting on the Brendon Hills enjoying particularly fine views to the south over unspoilt countr yside towards and including glimpses of Dartmoor. Whilst enjoying the peaceful seclusion of the countryside the property is by no means isolated being situated just three miles from the increasingly popular village of Wiveliscombe with its range of traditional shops, convenient stores, doctor�s surgery and well respected school. A little further away is the country town of Wellington which offers good day to day amenities. Wellington School, an independent school with both junior and senior schools, is situated in the town.
The M5 Motorway can also be joined at Junction 26 providing fast and easy access to Exeter, Bristol and London. Taunton, the County Town of Somerset, is some 14 miles south east with an excellent shopping centre with many of the well known high street stores, good recreational facilities and three well respected independent schools, including King�s and Queen�s Colleges and Taunton School. Richard Huish provides a good Sixth Form College. The countryside surrounding Sanders Barnstaple is first class for walking and riding.
THE PROPERTY
The exact age of Sanders Barnstaple is difficult to determine, but its construction and style may well suggest that it dates back at least three hundred years. The property is offered to the market in good decorative order and has a number of character features. In addition to the main house is a detached stone barn which has planning permission granted for conversion into a two bedroom, two bathroom cottage/granny annexe. The gardens at Sanders Barnstaple provide a perfect setting, being well tended and, in the summer months, shaded by a number of magnificent mature trees.
