Description

Bixley Haven is a handsome and substantial period property offering a wealth of character and charm and situated in the heart of the lovely East Devon village of Woodbury, close to amenities. Set back from the road, and Grade II Listed, the nearly 3,000 sq ft of accommodation is well proportioned with numerous features including high ceilings, original fireplaces, decorative ceiling roses and sash windows throughout.

The property has undergone a number of recent improvements including new boiler and central heating system and new bathrooms. Other clear benefits include ample parking and garage, and gardens that extend to almost an acre.

The attractive front entrance leads through to a spacious reception hallway with wooden floor. On the right is the formal dining room and to the left is the office/family room, each with feature fireplace and large arched window. The farmhouse style kitchen with gas fired Aga, central island and butler sink sits to the rear. The ground floor is completed by a utility and shower room.

On the first floor and off the half landing is the stunning 22' sitting room with 10' high ceilings, feature fireplace, decorative ceiling rose and coving. Double doors lead through to the conservatory giving access to the private gardens. Next to the sitting room is a lovely fully functioning bar/snug, which has wooden panelling all around with picture rail. The principal bedroom benefits from dual aspect windows, and the other two double bedrooms on the first floor include feature fireplaces. There is a modern bathroom with clawfoot tub and dressing room, which could easily provide ensuite facilities if required.

A beautiful lightwell sits in the centre of the property affording light down through the stair cases. A second staircase leads up to the second floor, where there are two further spacious bedrooms.

The outside space sets this property apart from many with its extensive grounds. A pedestrian gate leads to the front door, which is set back from the road. To the right is a greenhouse. To the left a vehicular passage leads to a charming cobbled courtyard offering ample parking and turning. The 22' x 17' garage adjoins a large storeroom. The rear gardens are incredibly secluded and comprise sweeping lawns and interspersed with, and bordered by, a number of well established trees. It offers a genuine sense of peace and tranquillity.
