Property Description

Evenlode is a beautiful 5 bedroom, 3 reception room detached property featuring painted rendered elevations with double-glazed windows, all set beneath a tiled roof equipped with solar PV panels.

Originally built in the Edwardian period around 1911, the property has been extended and remodeled over the years, resulting in generous and versatile accommodation suitable for dual occupancy. The house is surrounded by mature, secluded gardens filled with a variety of specimen plants, shrubs, and trees, all bordered by the serene Parracombe Stream.

Upon entering the ground floor through the canopy porch, a front door with a stained glass panel opens into an entrance hall that includes a cupboard under the stairs and coat pegs. The sitting room, an original double-aspect space, features a bay window overlooking the rear garden, an open fireplace with a tiled hearth, and a picture rail. The dining room boasts a period fireplace with an oak overmantel and a marble hearth, complemented by four wall lights and a picture rail. A pair of doors with stained glass panels leads to an en-suite bedroom, a triple-aspect room with its own entrance, making it an ideal space for a dependent, home office, or guest suite for Airbnb. This room features a glazed door to the front, French doors to the rear garden, and a vaulted ceiling. The shower room includes a three-piece suite comprising a sink set in a storage cupboard, a comfort-height WC, a walk-in cubicle with an electric shower, LED lighting, and an extractor fan.

The breakfast room, with oak flooring, opens to the garden through French doors and connects to the well-fitted kitchen. The kitchen offers a range of painted wooden units topped with oak work surfaces, matching wall-mounted cupboards, and spice drawers. It features a 1½ bowl molded sink unit, double-aspect views over the garden, and fitted appliances including a Zanussi ceramic hob, a Zanussi double oven, a stainless steel splashback, and a stainless steel and glass floating extractor hood. The kitchen also includes an oil-fired Rayburn for cooking and domestic hot water, a Bosch dishwasher, a fridge, and travertine-effect flooring. Adjacent to the kitchen is the utility room, which includes a single bowl sink unit, adjoining work surfaces, space and plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer, a wall cupboard, and a walk-in shelved pantry with space for a tall fridge freezer, all set on a tiled floor. Another shower room on the ground floor features a tiled corner cubicle, a pedestal washbasin, a low-level WC, a wall mirror, a shaver point, a heated towel rail, an extractor fan/light, a wall heater, and a tiled floor. The rear lobby provides additional storage with a shoe rack and built-in cupboards and has a half-glazed door leading to the rear garden.

Upstairs, the landing has a trap door to the loft. The first bedroom offers views over the rear garden and the nearby church and features stripped wood flooring. The second bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe with a cupboard above and views over the front garden. The third bedroom is double-aspect, including a porthole window with a stained glass inset, and has a built-in double wardrobe. The fourth bedroom, currently used as a study, provides lovely views over the garden. The family bathroom includes a panel bath with a Mira power shower above, a tiled surround, a curved glass shower screen, a bidet, a low-level WC, a pedestal washbasin, a shaver point, and two globe wall lights above. An airing cupboard and oak dado panel walls complete the bathroom.

Outside, the property is approached through a pair of stone pillars leading to a gravel driveway, which provides ample parking and turning space. The driveway leads to the front door, adjacent to a log store. To the right of the property, a detached garage/workshop is equipped with power and light, with storage lofts above and below. Attached to the garage is a potting shed, also with power, light, and a storage loft.

The front garden, raised above the drive, is mainly laid to lawn and is bounded by mature plants, trees, and shrubs that offer complete seclusion and privacy from the lane and neighboring properties. Access to the rear garden is available on both sides of the property.

The rear garden features a brick terrace with an external power point, a brick retaining wall, and an upper gravel courtyard. A timber-constructed African Breeze House with a slate roof and fitted table and seating overlooks the lower part of the garden, which is mainly laid to lawn and interspersed with a variety of specimen trees and shrubs, including acers, hydrangeas, camellias, and a copper beech. The garden also includes an aluminum-framed greenhouse, a sunken brick garden with a gravel surround, and beyond a gateway that leads to a wooded area with well-established silver birch trees and ponds. The rear gardens are secluded and enjoy a sunny aspect, with a stream running along the north border and part of the garden backing onto fields.
