Property description

This wonderful 4 bedroom detached home is quite simply amazing; beautifully laid-out, freshly presented in a contemporary style and surprisingly efficient, the house is superb in its own right. However, when combined with the breathtaking views which are, quite frankly, beyond exceptional, and outside space that encourages al fresco living, it is one of the best properties that we have seen for some time. Be quick!
Designed by Scandiahus in the 1990's with an emphasis on thermal insulation and energy efficiency, this super property boasts a wonderful contemporary, open plan layout that is particularly bright and airy. Double and triple glazing are utilised along with some underfloor heating on the ground floor and a wood burning stove on the upper floor to provide a warm and comfortable environment for the owners (who comment that is it very economic to run). There are four good sized double bedrooms (the master having an en suite and superb balcony) and a bathroom on the ground floor with a fantastic open plan living space, large sun terrace and separate kitchen breakfast room on the first floor.
Located close to the village centre, Higher Hill House is set back from the road beyond a wide area of off road car parking, which could accommodate several cars. There is pedestrian access to the rear of the house and gardens to both sides of the property. Going beyond the house into the rear garden, any viewer will likely be completely bowled over, not just because of the beautiful lawned formal garden, large lower deck or the wild vegetable garden with its wonderful Shepherd's Hut (a great extra bedroom or guest quarters), but by the truly staggering views, which stretch as far as Dartmoor.
Blackborough is a wonderful village, perched on the edge of the Blackdown Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty renowned for its walks, riding and cycling. The property lies within the catchment area of Uffculme secondary school and bus services run, not only to this school, but also the primary school at Kentisbeare, which feeds into Uffculme School; the pick up point being conveniently close to the house. The village itself is known for its sense of community and benefits from a number of clubs and societies, many centred around the popular social club. The pretty village of Kentisbeare is a short distance away and enjoys a good range of local amenities including a post office/store, primary school, a popular local pub, the Wyndham Arms, a church and village hall. The towns of Honiton and Cullompton are within easy reach and offer a full range of amenities. Junction 28 of the M5 can be found at Cullompton leading south to Exeter and north to Taunton, both within 30 minutes drive, and the A303 and A30 can be quickly accessed.
