" Please quote reference 20359 when enquiring about this property The house stands in a mature and leafy area in this highly sought after and accessible woodland village within walking distance of all the local amenities including shops, Primary School, Village Hall and Church, together with the lovely walks which can be enjoyed around the village and across Woodbury Common. Arborfield is a particularly spacious and flexible five bedroom detached residence with three bathrooms (two ensuite), architect designed and built in a unique and spacious site of mature, cleverly planted gardens and wood. The ground floor has a hall and cloakroom leading through an internal door to a sitting room with log burner leading through to a large dining room and sun room with patio doors onto the patio itself. It also benefits from a Country style fitted kitchen/breakfast room in oak with an integrated fridge and a four oven Aga. Its attached utility space currently houses a refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. There are attractive pale blue pearl worktops and a wide range of cupboards including a carousel unit and two floor to ceiling pull out larders. Between the kitchen and the rear external 'stable' door, is a lobby and a further study or home office. Both kitchen and lobby are tiled with earthenware quarry tiles. Also leading off from the hall is a study, downstairs double bedroom and en-suite bathroom ? the study could easily be used as a sitting room to make a large granny flat. The first floor contains a wide landing with 4 bedrooms and family bathroom leading off the central 'corridor'. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower-room, and has 'Sharps' fitted wardrobes, bedside tables and chests of drawers. The shower room has additional built-in storage. There are three further bedrooms ? 2 double, and 1 single with built-in storage. A large family bathroom serves these three bedrooms. Additionally there two storage lofts, the main loft ? boarded and the entire 40-feet length of the house ? is accessed via an access ladder and trap in the ceiling over the landing, whilst the second loft over the study is accessed by a door from the landing. It is also fully boarded. Arborfield has gas central heating and PVC double glazed windows throughout, with diamond leaded panes. The house is situated in the centre of its plot, with a tarmac drive sweeping up to the front of the property to a parking area for three cars, in front of a detached garage. Further up the drive is a second double garage with inspection pit. Both garages have integral power and lighting. The extensive and surrounding grounds are laid mainly to lawn with a wide range of perennial shrubs and mature trees, amounting to over an acre in all. There are a useful sheds, greenhouse and garden machinery/log storage areas. At the rear of the grounds is a strip of woodland with paths created by the current owners. In all, a beautiful, well presented detached residence set in sylvan surroundings. Arborfield is one of the last very large plots in the village, the majority of other gardens having been sold for development of additional houses. Should the buyer decide to do likewise, this kind of development opportunity is now rare in West Hill. West Hill is an appealing and individual village with a mini-supermarket at its heart, and which is open long hours and includes a post office. There is also a pretty Church, high achieving modern primary school, village hall, garage, hairdresser, butcher, dentist and bus services into Exeter and Ottery St. Mary and beyond. The town of Ottery St Mary is two and a half miles away with the well-known Kings School, medical centre, Sainsbury's supermarket and extensive other shops/amenities. Exeter and the M5 (about 8 miles) are easily reached along the A30 dual carriageway. Whimple with station (Waterloo-Exeter) is 4 miles distant, and the coast at Exmouth about 10 miles South. "
