Apple Blossom House is a substantial (237sqm / 2,558sqft) attached house, found down a farm lane with rural surroundings and yet is within walking distance of the modern village school and its other amenities, including two pubs!

Over the last seven years this lovely home has been improved inside and out. There are four bedrooms upstairs - the master has ‘his and hers’ walk-in wardrobes, the 2nd bedroom has vaulted ceilings, there is an en-suite bedroom and the final double bedroom has beautiful views! The family bath and shower room is exquisite, from the freestanding copper plated bath to the separate shower and lovely sink, it really shows off how tastefully this house has been designed and finished.

Heading downstairs, the large kitchen breakfast room is also particularly special. The worktops are Corian composite, the centre island is home to the 5 ring Smeg induction hob and hidden riding extractor and there are also twin ovens and a Kenwood dishwasher, plus LED lights and ceiling spotlights. The engineered oak flooring continues through the large opening (bi-folding doors can be reinstated) to the living room, which has views over the garden onto fields and a wood-burning stove. The dining area has an attractive feature wall and is open-plan to the sunroom entrance (Aluminium powder coated bi-folds to garden and matching front door and window) and the cosy snug with a 2nd woodburning stove. This whole area flows nicely and has matching floor tiles too. There is also a downstairs shower room, a boot room and handy utility area. The cinema room (formerly an office to run a business from) extends to some 7m x 3.5m, it has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and is a perfect place to kick back, or adapt for your own needs. The whole property is double glazed and has oil-fired central heating.

Outside: The shared farm lane leads to a brick paved parking area suitable for 4 cars (9.7m narrowing to 6m x 8.54m long). There is also a garage/store with light and garage door, plus a Tesla electric car charging point. The south-facing garden extends to around 25m x 17.5m max, it has manicured lawns, backs onto fields and has mature fruit trees growing, plus paved seating areas outside the kitchen/sun-room and beside the pizza oven which catches the afternoon and evening sun superbly.

Please see the floorplan for room sizes.

CHERITON FITZPAINE sits in a vast and hilly lowland region of Devon, the village is 9 miles from the City of Exeter and 1.5 miles northeast of the Crediton/ Tiverton A3072 road – a route that could be argued to be one of the most stunning sunset drives in the county. The village appears timeless and has many listed cottages with the classic poured custard thatched roofs. Notably there’s also a gothic church, known for its hard edges and sharp peaks. There are two pubs, The Ring of Bells and The Half Moon Inn – both of which are unique, but equally Devonian in spirit. Cheriton Fitzpaine is a substantial size and has a multi-million pound primary school, a community shop and Doctor’s surgery plus nearby Thornes Farm Shop, Café & Deli which is home to some exceptional quality homegrown produce. Local children are fortunate to be able to use (acquire grass stains in!) and shoot hoops in ‘Jack’s Acre’, a large playing field/ park maintained by the parish council.
