Bradley House is unlisted and has been the subject of a painstaking renovation by the current owners to make this historic and period building ready for 21st century living.
As part of the work the house has been rewired, replumbed and replastered with a new kitchen, bath/shower rooms, new windows and air source underfloor heating added to all three floors. The house was built of local stone under a slate roof and, with its good-sized rooms and tall ceilings, its design displays many of the attractive and practical traits of a wonderful period of British architecture.
During the renovation the house was gutted revealing many hidden original architectural fittings including a well and hand pump. Every effort was then made to ensure all new fittings were in keeping with the original character of the building. Several wood-burning stoves have also been installed, along with attractive floor tiles in the hall, thermally efficient wood effect flooring, and double glazed windows which are of the highest standard treated Accoya wood. A new garden room was created and the attached coach house was converted into a double garage with a studio/office above.
The house has a south-east/north-west axis so that it captures the best of the daylight throughout the day until sunset. It has five good-sized reception rooms including the studio/office and the dining area of the kitchen/dining room.
The kitchen is fitted with units including a central island under timber work surfaces, a range of built-in electric appliances and a 2-oven electric aga inset in the original range fireplace. Adjacent to the kitchen is the large utility/boot room with a separate walk-in pantry and shower room.
There are a total of five double bedrooms: Three on the first floor and two on the second, one of which is currently used as a games/playroom. The principal bedroom looks out south-east over the garden and has separate, en suite dressing and shower rooms.
Bradley House is approached off the passing village lane via a driveway that rises gently to a level, gravelled parking area in front of the house with space for several cars. On one side, with access to the kitchen/dining room through French windows, is a paved terrace that is perfectly positioned for outside dining in fine weather.
In all the garden amounts to about 0.5 acre (0.2 hectare) and is bound at the front and along one side by dry stone walling and laurel hedging. Attached on one side of the house is the former coach house, which has recently been converted into a double garage with a studio/office above in the former hayloft and can now be accessed directly from the house via the sitting room.
A farm track accessed off the village lane passes immediately behind the house. The coach house has a vehicular entrance opening onto the track, over which it has vehicular and pedestrian right of way meaning that it could be used as separate ancillary accommodation if required.
Bradley House is situated in the small, rural village of Ash Thomas, which is surrounded by beautiful unspoilt countryside. The village is just two miles as the crow flies from the thriving market town of Tiverton, which is the commercial and administrative centre of the Mid Devon district and has an excellent variety of shops and local business, including medical, dental and veterinarian surgeries and both a Tesco and an Aldi superstores. Local transport links are exceptionally good with the A361, A396 and Junction 27 on the M5 are all within easy reach. Tiverton Parkway station has direct rail services to Exeter (15 minutes) and Waterloo London Paddington (1 hour 52 minutes). Exeter Airport is also within easy reach offering a daily service to London City Airport (1 hour). The area has a selection of popular schools from both the state and independent sectors, including three primary schools (all Ofsted rated good) within two miles and the popular and highly regarded Blundell's School and Blundell's Preparatory School in Tiverton.
