Oakhayes is a beautifully presented stone built home under a tiled roof set in a quiet, rural position. The property is only partially attached at the corner of the kitchen to a downstairs bathroom next door.
The property is truly one of a kind and offers extremely generous and very flexible accommodation ideal for a growing family or multi-generational living.

Notably the kitchen/family room is a wonderful space in which family live can revolve. The fitted shaker-style kitchen is centred around a beautiful oil-fired Aga, with two Ness electric ovens and induction hob, as well as an American style fridge-freezer, integrated dishwasher, wine cooler, and microwave. The kitchen also has plenty of cupboards for storage, two kitchen islands providing further workspace, and a sitting area with double doors leading out to the patio, perfect for enjoying alfresco dining and taking in the countryside views.

The impressive living room is spacious with a feature stone fireplace and woodburning stove, full length windows and sliding doors enjoying views over the garden and beyond. The dining room is found on the other side of the entrance hall, a generous entertaining space with feature fireplace. Next door is the study or possible downstairs bedroom. There is also a useful utility room and downstairs cloakroom.

On the first floor are six bedrooms and a family bathroom accessed via a spacious split-level landing with double doors leading out to the balcony. The master bedroom is very spacious and is complete with a range of fitted wardrobes and ensuite bathroom with separate bath and walk-in shower.

The property occupies a delightful rural location enjoying a wonderful countryside setting combined with the convenience of being a short distance from Honiton.

Honiton lies on the southern edge of the Blackdown Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just 10 miles from the stunning Jurassic coast at Sidmouth, itself a natural World Heritage Site. The town has a comprehensive range of independent shops and cafes, as well as two primary schools and secondary schools. The highly regarded Colyton Grammar School is also only a short drive away with a bus service available.

Communication links are excellent with a direct rail service from Honiton Station to London Waterloo, whilst the A30 provides quick and efficient road access to the cathedral city of Exeter. As well as easy access to the M5 motorway. Exeter hosts a main line rail service to London Paddington, an international airport and extensive shopping and leisure facilities. Taunton, the county town of Somerset is approximately 28 miles to the northeast with the A303 and A35 providing alternative cross country road links to London and the south.

Set in just under an acre in total, the property benefits from established landscaped gardens with well-maintained lawns, a variety of shrubs and trees and wildlife pond. There is a raised circular patio area perfectly positioned at the rear of the house to enjoy the rural outlook.

A real feature of this amazing home is its outbuildings. There is a good-sized outbuilding which is divided into four areas internally with two sets of wide timber doors to access one side from a separated gated driveway. This would be ideal for garden machinery such as a ride on mower and a trailer. The rest of the barn can be reached directly from the courtyard. The other spaces are currently used as a table tennis area, a gym and a storage area housing the boiler and oil tank.

The courtyard is entered via an electric gate with a huge amount of parking and access to a large three bay car port.
