The house has been within the same family for several generations and there is no record of the property having been offered for sale in living memory.

The accommodation, which would benefit from some sympathetic updating, includes a reception hall, sitting room, parlour/dining room, kitchen and conservatory. On the first floor are two good-size double bedrooms and a single, in addition to a bathroom.

The gardens are an exceptional feature, best described as an oasis, in respect of the location in relation to the town and the nearby facilities in Withycombe Village Road.

However, the immediate surroundings complement the style of a rural dwelling, without the isolation.
