Description of Little Weare Manor
This unique property in a well sought after
area, will be a delight for families needing a spacious and secure home, is
back on the market because the owners have the chance to move to another house
built by the same developer, before the full effect of the Jacksons
popularising the area is felt and the price goes up.
It
is thought that Little Weare Manor was extended with walls a little less thick
than the original metre solid stone
construction in the late 1750's. The owners probably complained about 'modern
builders' at the time.
The ca. 2000 square foot house is
down a drive entered by a country style gate and is set within half an acre of
interesting 3D landscaped grounds with a large parking area. The whole is
enclosed by a high a quality 2 metre solid wooden fence. This is a perfect place
for children and pets to play The surrounding area is superb for walks in this
tranquil hamlet which is set in fields and woodlands.
Little Weare Manor was completely
modernised and insulated a year ago to such a high standard that little or no
heating is required. Even the extension built within the last few years is kept
sufficiently warm in the winter with just the family watching the television.
Energy saving alone will be equivalent to the interest on £40,000 of a mortgage
compared with many houses.
The property is set in one of the safest
and most beautiful parts of North Devon, with stunning views, and is part of a small hamlet which is well
spaced and populated by quiet and considerate neighbours. However the rates are
relatively low, and because it has its own sewerage disposal system the water
charges are easily affordable.
The inside is a delight with many
interesting features and a high standard of workmanship that makes this
spacious 4 bedroom property with a dual aspect, ensuite master bedroom, one of
the best buys today. The current owners have four children and are moving to a
larger house which is 60metres down the
road. It is currently being updated by the same developer,who is retiring overseas, that modernised
Little Weare Manor.
Whilst the purchase price has risen a
little since the 18th century a copy of an early receipt of £1.oo for the
rental of this property, built to nearly fortress quality, is still available
for view.
