Whiteball is within 6 miles of the M5 (junction 27) and Tiverton Parkway railway station, providing a mainline rail link into London Paddington. Wellington is just 5 miles away, where an excellent range of shopping, recreational and scholastic facilities can be found. The County town of Taunton is within 12 miles of the property and the University City of Exeter 26 miles.
DESCRIPTION
A substantial chalet style bungalow, typical of this 1930's era and set within private grounds of approximately 0.5 acres. There is evidence of the property's history throughout, with high ceilings, symmetrically generous reception rooms and picture rails.
The ground floor comprises three receptions rooms, the master bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and utility room. Upstairs are two bedrooms and under eave storage. Outside is ample parking, a single garage, double garage, greenhouse, potting shed, small orchard, vegetable garden, poultry runs, lawns and a super outside dining pergola with lighting.

Steps up to the wooden front door, leading into the hallway giving access to all principle rooms on this level. To your right is the Sitting Room, a good size room with feature bay window to the front, window seat and super views. Working open fire in cast iron grate with hood over, set in a brick fireplace, wall lights and picture rails. Master Bedroom with a range of fitted wardrobes and storage. Window to side. The Bathroom sits at the rear; window, bathtub with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and ornate high level wc. Dining Room to the front aspect; a lovely light room with lovely views from the bay window, window seat, wall lights, picture rails, access to the Kitchen; a good range of duck egg blue base and wall units with contrasting dark worksurfaces and complimentary wall tiling. Dual aspect windows. Spotlighting. Inset eye level double oven. Ceramic 1 bowl sink. Electric hob. Space for small dishwasher and fridge freezer. Door to side entrance Lobby; door to outside and door to Utility; a good space; L shaped room with lots of storage, worksurfaces and windows most of the way round. Door into a further reception room (historically the kitchen) with good proportions, window to rear, stairs to first floor, original cupboards - a brilliant additional living room, office or craft/hobby room.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms in the eaves, one with window to the rear overlooking the garden and the other to the front aspect. A door from the landing opens into good under eave storage.
OUTSIDE
The total grounds stretch to just over half an acre here, driveway in over cattle grid, sweeping past the front of the house and up to ample parking/turning at the rear. Lawns to the left hand side, edged with mature trees and shrubs giving privacy and shelter. Adjacent to the Utility is a lovely outside dining veranda with mains lighting, so can be used all year around and a perfect place for entertaining. There is a greenhouse, potting shed, log stores and at the top of the drive, a detached double garage with power and lighting. Further still, a small orchard area prevalent in apples and plums, a good vegetable plot and chicken pens/houses.
