LongDescription
Lying opposite Bridwell Park, 2 The Acorns is one of two, non-estate properties, built by a renowned local developer in a generous plot on the way into Uffculme.

The house has been well-maintained and updated by our clients over the last ten years and offers spacious, well-appointed accommodation, ideal for a growing family wishing to make the most of the village amenities, notably the schools, and the convenience of easy commuting via local bus services, the nearby motorway junction and Tiverton Parkway Station (London Paddington in 2 hours).

The generous living space flows nicely around the central hallway, with a useful, cloakroom, and the sitting room to the right. This relaxing room has a feature 'Minster' style fireplace housing a gas fire, and an open arch through to the dining room, with a picture window overlooking the garden, and is perfect for entertaining or family life. Beyond, the conservatory is a great addition for enjoying the afternoon and evening sunshine all year round, with double doors leading out to the raised patio for barbecues and enjoying the summer.

The kitchen is fitted in a modern, light 'Shaker' style with granite work surfaces, plenty of cupboard storage and a peninsula dining bar with wine rack and further storage. Integral appliances include a fridge and dishwasher and within a feature, tiled recess, there is a range cooker with a five-ring gas hob, two ovens and grill, with extractor fan over. The adjoining utility room is a good size and is fitted in the same style with more storage, a sink unit and space and plumbing for the usual appliances. From the utility room, there are doors to the double garage and rear garden.

Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, three doubles and a large single, all with fitted wardrobes.
The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room, attractively tiled with a modern white suite of vanity unit, shower and WC, and the family bathroom is similarly appointed, with a bath and large, separate shower cubicle.

Outside, on approach, 2 The Acorns shares a gravel entrance drive with number 1, accessed via an automatic five bar wooden gate, which opens as you drive towards it. The gravel forecourt provides ample parking, leading to the double garage, with electric remote controlled doors, and there is a space for a caravan or motorhome. The front and side garden has an established hedge bank and two mature oak trees and lawn extends around to the side and across the rear of the house. This has recently been landscaped with a wide border shrub and flower bed, a small pond feature, a raised bed and new, close boarded fencing and has more potential for any keen gardener, or can simply be kept minimal for ease of maintenance. Nicely tucked away in the corner, there is a useful garden shed and bin store and path leads back to the front of the house.
