A unique and versatile rural home, set within about 30 acres, elegantly blending period charm with modern convenience, offering a rare combination of space, privacy and rural tranquillity.
Description
Set at the end of a long private drive, Morgans Bradley enjoys an exceptionally private position, with a pretty period farmhouse, that has been modernised and extended in recent years. In addition, there is an excellent range of outbuildings, including extensive stabling, and a large detached barn, with considerable scope for conversion, to create two storey secondary accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.
The heart of the house centres around an impressive kitchen/breakfast room, designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. This beautifully appointed space features an extensive range of cabinetry, a substantial central island with breakfast bar, an Aga, and a suite of integrated appliances.
To one side, a comfortable family room is arranged around a handsome fireplace with wood-burning stove. To the other, the dining room flows seamlessly into an elegant sitting room, where a feature fireplace and double-sided wood burner create a warm and inviting setting. Both rooms benefit from French doors opening onto the terrace, allowing for effortless indoor and outdoor living.
Practicality is well considered, with a WC, a fully fitted boot room/cloakroom, and a well-equipped utility room with Belfast sink and pantry located to the rear of the house.
The first floor is arranged across two distinct wings, each accessed via its own impressive stone staircase, creating a unique and characterful layout. One wing comprises a dual-aspect principal suite with dressing room and en suite bathroom, alongside a second bedroom with fitted storage and en suite facilities.
A skylit study sits between these rooms, offering flexibility as a home office or additional dressing space. The opposite wing provides three further well-proportioned double bedrooms, served by a stylish family bathroom with both a walk-in shower and separate bath.
Outbuildings - A detached two-storey outbuilding provides considerable scope for conversion and enhancement, subject to the necessary consents, with generous proportions and independent access, it offers potential for ancillary accommodation, a home office, studio, or income-generating holiday let.
Further outbuildings include a substantial 59 ft open-fronted barn with hard standing, alongside a range of fenced paddocks, suitable for horses and livestock. Planning permission has also been granted, for a 4-bay carport with storage, with groundworks already completed.
Gardens and Grounds - Approached via a sweeping driveway, the property provides ample parking together with a double carport building. The formal gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and framed by mature planting, creating a strong sense of privacy and seclusion. A wraparound terrace, incorporating a covered veranda and pergola, offers excellent spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Beyond the gardens, a track leads to an area of natural landscape comprising a steep cleave of gorse and bracken, descending into unspoilt ancient woodland with a stream running through the valley floor. To the east of the house and buildings, there is a spring-fed lake, stocked with coarse fish. The varied landscape supports abundant wildlife, enhancing the peaceful and natural setting.
Location
Morgans Bradley occupies a peaceful and private position, between Templeton and Calverleigh, about 4.8 miles to the west of Tiverton, offering an appealing balance of rural seclusion with local connectivity, convenience and surrounding countryside. The area is particularly favoured by families and professionals seeking access to amenities alongside open space.
Tiverton provides a comprehensive range of facilities, including supermarkets, independent retailers, cafés and restaurants, as well as healthcare and leisure amenities. The area is well served for schooling, with both state and independent options, notably Blundell’s School, one of the region’s most highly regarded independent schools with the property within range for the local discount for pupils.
The surrounding Mid Devon countryside is characterised by gently rolling farmland and offers excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits, including the Grand Western Canal Country Park and Exmoor National Park further afield.
Communication links are excellent. Tiverton Parkway station offers regular services to London Paddington (approximately 2 hours), as well as Exeter and Bristol. The M5 (Junction 27) is within easy reach, providing convenient access throughout the South West.
