5 Bed Detached House For Sale

I meant to do my work today, but a little brown bird sang loudly in the apple tree, and a butterfly flitted across the field, and all the leaves were calling me...so just like a little wren, we here at James Du Pavey are going to sing loud and proud about this wonderful family sized home and grounds! Nestled in a secluded wooded valley on the edge of Tittensor Chase. Originally built as the lodge of Waggersley Hall (which has since been demolished) the original part of the main property was built in the 17th Century! Within the grounds are sandstone caves (one of which could be used a great wine cool store and another as a dry log store) which are believed to have been used by Monks who followed St Chard the Martyr and if this is correct they date back to at least 600 A.D.!! The valley in which the property is situated and is called Spring Vale as there used to be a fresh water spring and well stocked pools. The main property has been completely extended and refurbished by the current owners. There's a spacious living room with feature wall mounted fire and an oak and glass staircase leading to a long bedroom with fitted furniture. A spacious snug/hallway with a further set of stairs leads to a galleried landing off of which you will find two double bedrooms both which have fitted furniture and one has it's own WC.

To the other end of the ground floor is a circular dining room with feature window which was part of the original chase lodge.
