Outside
As previously mentioned there is an extensive parking area, with double garage which has an electric up and over door and plant room set to one side.
A number of external power points and external water taps are found around the house.
Grounds
Without doubt these play a major role in the life to be enjoyed by owning such a property and around the house on two sides is extensive terracing in slate grey which compliments the external elevations and provides for ample areas to entertain or to just sit and soak up the surroundings.
Sweeping away from the house the lawn leads down to a wonderful woodland studded with mature trees and this area provides a wonderful haven for wildlife and in one corner is found the remains of a former swimming pool, previouslypart of the Shebbear College facilities. A small stream forms the boundary on one side of the grounds whilst at the front terraced natural stone curve walling with extensive gravel beds provide a blank canvas to create what the new owner requires.
All in all, a home of this quality and stature does not often come to the market and having planning could provide for something even more exceptional.
