This charming chalet-style bungalow has been completely renovated and redesigned over the last 12 years and the result is a stunning rural home that is further enhanced by its beautiful views across the surrounding countryside.

The property is located in the quiet hamlet of Birchill, near Chardstock and is within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The market town of Axminster is only four miles or so away.

Inside, the house is presented to an excellent standard with a calming neutral decor that creates an altogether pleasant environment.

The living room is bathed in natural light from the triple aspect windows and French doors which lead out to the rear garden. The nearby study has been used as an occasional bedroom and is fitted with a good run of storage cupboards. The kitchen/breakfast room offers a substantial amount of cupboard space in cream-coloured units, complemented with tiled splashbacks and wooden work surfaces. This room also has French doors to the rear allowing light to flow into the space.

Outside, the lawned gardens of around 0.5 acres are well-established, and include a lovely summer house that could be used as a home office, with a door through to a workshop at the rear. In addition, there are three further
sheds, a greenhouse, off road parking space for at least four cars and a double garage.
