STEP OUTSIDE
Downmead sits well back within its generous plot of around 0.6 acres, perfectly positioned to make the most of the stunning countryside views to the rear, stretching across the Blackdown Hills.
The south-facing gardens lie to the front of the property, featuring level lawns bordered by established shrubs, trees and bushes, offering complete privacy and a wonderful sense of seclusion. A sweeping driveway leads to the front of the house and a double garage, while to the side, a pathway leads to The Studio and a further secluded area of garden.

To the rear of the main house, where the views are at their best, a large decked terrace whilst an covered outdoor kitchen provides the perfect space for relaxing or entertaining, with doors opening directly from the house to create a seamless indoor–outdoor flow. Hidden discreetly beneath the decking lies a charming nod to the past, a World War II Anderson air raid shelter, now offering useful additional storage. Additional guest parking for The Studio can be found at the top of the garden


SELLERS INSIGHT
We moved to Downmead nine years ago and we have absolutely loved living here.

Now our children are older we are ready to move onto our new adventure and have already started renovating our new house.

When we brought the house, it was a children’s home so was in good condition it was just quite basic so we have renovated the whole house from top to bottom.

The fireplaces and entrance lobby floor are original to when the house was built and there is even an Anderson shelter in the back gardens under the outside bar.

The views from the house are amazing all year round, we will miss them terribly along with the peace and quiet.

The house is one of the largest in the village and we benefit greatly from having some of the best schools statistically on our doorstep.

The studio is the newest addition built 2 years ago and it perfect for holidays and guest accommodation when our family visits and they never want to leave.

It’s time for Downmead to be passed onto its next family to build some new memories.

SERVICES/NOTES
Mains electricity and water – Mains drainage to Downmead along with oil central heating. The Studio has private drainage along with air source heat pump, underfloor heating and PV panels
