Property description
A substantial and imposing detached house with terrific scope located in the heart of this ever-popular Blackdown Hills village. The house, approaching the latter stages of a super and comprehensive refurbishment programme, offers up to six bedrooms and up to 6 reception rooms. The interior is abundant with character features and there is also scope for a separate annexe. There is also scope for Bed & Breakfast potential due to the property's size and close proximity to the centre of the village.
