This attractive, individual country residence occupies a 0.7-acre plot in the small district of Blackpool Corner, just north of Raymonds Hill, while Axminster is three miles away and Lyme Regis is four miles to the south.

The five-bedroom property, named Silver Birches, was built during the 1950s and in more recent times it has been subject to considerable modernisation, extension and has seen the addition of a second double garage. The main house is presented in superb decorative order with quality finishes and access to a high degree of natural light.

Inside, the entrance hallway makes a good first impression with its hardwood parquet flooring that continues through to the kitchen/dining room. The formal sitting room features a wood-burning stove and double doors which open to a beautiful L-shaped single-storey garden room that has direct access to both outdoor patios.

The large kitchen/dining room is fitted with a wide range of white shaker-style units, granite work surfaces, integrated appliances, and there’s a handy breakfast bar between the kitchen and dining area.

On the first floor, a galleried landing leads to five double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes, a window seat and a smart ensuite shower room. The second bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom.

Outside, well-established landscaped grounds of around 0.7 acres surround the property and include a level lawn, a vegetable garden and mature fruit trees.

The garden is full of mature camellias and rhododendrons, along with a wide variety of established shrubs and two recently enhanced seating areas. The rear garden is full of year-round colour and interest and is a haven for birdlife. There is also a secluded seating area with a fire pit and bar.

The property is accessed via a long gravel driveway that leads to a substantial parking area and two double garages.
