Houndbeare Court is an attractive and very spacious detached bungalow which was built in the early 1980s in connection with Greater Houndbeare Farm, and as such, planning permission was granted on the basis of the property having an Agricultural Occupancy Restriction. It is of traditional construction with stone and brick elevations under a tiled roof and was thoughtfully designed with its brick arches and covered walkway. Houndbeare Court has very well-proportioned accommodation and worthy of particular mention is the huge sitting/dining room which has patio doors and a stone fireplace. All the rooms take advantage of the delightful outlook over the gardens and adjoining countryside and are particularly light with large uPVC double glazed windows. The property would now benefit from a programme of updating, however, provides the perfect opportunity for those looking to put their stamp on a roomy and beautifully positioned country home.
Outside, Houndbeare Court boasts a delightful setting offering a great deal of privacy and serving as a haven for wildlife. It is surrounded by level lawned gardens interspersed with several trees and shrubs, featuring a paved terrace and a pond. The property is approached over a driveway which swings around to the rear where there is a large parking area. Adjacent to this is a detached double garage and there are also two useful storage rooms attached to the property. To the southeast, a field extends to circa 6.5 acres, and in total, the site extends to circa 7.2 acres.
The bungalow is located midway between the villages of Aylesbeare and West Hill, amidst some of the county’s most picturesque countryside within the East Devon National Landscape, which includes the pebbled heathlands of Aylesbeare Common offering stunning walks and rides. Aylesbeare, about a mile away, has a church and village hall, while West Hill has a wider range of amenities including a village store/post office and a primary school. The popular town of Ottery St Mary, approximately 5 miles away, has an excellent range of facilities and independent shops, as well as the highly regarded King’s School. The property is conveniently situated and is within a couple
