This individual detached modern property occupies grounds measuring around a third of an acre and is set back from the central village road in Membury, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty just north of Axminster.

The three-bedroom dwelling, named Orchard House forms part of a picturesque street scene and comes with a wooded copse area that is a haven for wildlife.

Inside, the contemporary property has been the subject of considerable enhancements, and much care and attention has been spent on creating a stylish and welcoming open-plan living environment.

Inside, the grand reception hall makes a strong first impression with its glass balustrade staircase, vaulted ceiling and Velux window. The highlight of the house is the spacious kitchen/breakfast room/sitting room which is a lovely free-flowing space that is bathed in natural light. The bright sitting area has a cut stone style fireplace with an inset wood burner as its focal point, while the contemporary kitchen has high-gloss effect units, quartz work surfaces and several integrated appliances. The ground floor is completed with a separate dining room that would work well as a study, and a shower room.

At the top of the garden is a wooded copse whereupon the views can be appreciated over the village towards open countryside and the church tower.

At the front, there is a patterned concrete driveway providing ample parking space and leading to a garage and a carport.
