GARDENS & GROUNDS.
Owls Orchard is approached over a shared drive which leads to a five bar gate and a driveway which swings around to the rear of the property where there is a large gravelled hardstanding providing ample parking. Adjacent to this is the substantial outbuilding which comprises a double carport, large garage/implement store with electric door, two workshops and first floor storage. This is a very useful building which could offer further potential for ancillary accommodation (subject to planning).
The gardens and grounds have been given the same time and attention as the house and have been thoughtfully designed, landscaped and planted to provide great interest and colour throughout the seasons. There are large areas of lawn which are interspersed with specimen trees and profusely stocked borders which include an attractive bank where a small bridge crosses an open spring. There is an orchard and a more natural area of ground with a lightly wooded goyle where there is a summerhouse - a beautiful shady place to sit and enjoy the birdsong. To the east is a paddock with field shelter which extends to about 0.6 acre.
SITUATION.
Owls Orchard sits in a tucked away, private position close to the heart of the picturesque community village of Dalwood, which in turn is located in the Blackdown Hills National Landscape amongst some of East Devon most attractive rolling countryside. The village offers a range of amenities including the popular Tuckers Arms public house (only a short walk away), ancient Church of St Peter's, village hall and community shop & post office facility. Dalwood lies midway between the market towns of Honiton and Axminster. Both towns offer a wide range of amenities with many independent shops and galleries, schools, banks, supermarkets, sporting facilities and main line rail links on the Exeter to London Waterloo line.
The beautiful World Heritage Jurassic Coast at Lyme Bay is a short drive away, with the town of Lyme Regis being about 9 miles distant. Lyme Regis has a famous harbour including The Cobb and a very good range of independent shops and eateries.
The renowned Colyton Grammar School, one of England's top mixed state schools, is situated about 7 miles south of the property. The Cathedral City of Exeter is about 25 miles to the west with excellent shopping facilities, main line express rail link to London Paddington, M5 access and international airport.
DIRECTIONS.
From Honiton, proceed in an easterly direction on the A35 Axminster road for about 6 miles. After passing a Starbucks on your left (at Taunton Cross), turn left signposted Dalwood and Stockland and then immediately right signed to Dalwood. Follow this lane for about a mile turning left at the T-junction. After about 0.3 mile, turn right (signed Dalwood) and follow the lane into the village. Pass the Tuckers Arms on your right and go over the bridge. On a sharp left hand bend, continue onto the concrete drive straight ahead of you and Owls Orchard will be found at the end of this driveway.
