2 SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION Trusham Heights is situated in an elevated position on the edge of Trusham village but in a secluded and private location set within its own gardens and grounds of approximately 2.75 Acres. The Teign Valley is a delightful part of the West Country being easily accessible to Exeter, the County Town and Cathedral City, but also is close to many of the beautiful villages forming the Dartmoor National Park and the Teign and Exe Estuaries. The nearby Haldon Forest offers wonderful woodland for cycling, riding and walking whilst the Teign Valley Golf Club and Exeter racecourse are close by. Trusham has a well renowned Gastro Pub, the Cridford Inn and the Vanilla Pod, with a busy Village Hall and Church. The nearby village of Ashton has a Post Office and the Manor Inn. The larger town of Chudleigh is approximately 3 miles distant with a wider range of amenities and services, and offers excellent access to Plymouth to the South and Exeter and the M5 Motorway to the North. There is a main Railway station at Exeter and Newton Abbot offering high speed trains to London (Paddington). Exeter is approximately 8 miles distant and is a thriving City offering a wide choice of cultural activities with a Theatre, Museum, Arts Centre and a wealth of good retail facilities including John Lewis and a Waitrose, and a wide range of Restaurants. The City also boasts a wide range of Primary and Secondary schools, including the renowned Exeter School and Maynard, whilst Exeter University is now recognised as one of the best in the Country. Trusham Heights is a substantial former Mid-Victorian Rectory offering spacious 5 bedroom accommodation with a substantial Annexe adjoining which could either be incorporated into the main house as additional accommodation, or could form a further 3 bedroom dwelling either as separate accommodation for an extended family or the second generation of a family, or for letting including Holiday lettings or home office accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. The House will require modernising and updating to suit a buyer s taste, whilst the annexe will require additional works as this has not been occupied for over 40 years. The property is well located in its grounds which extend to nearly 3 acres, and comprise formal gardens to the front of the house with vegetable and former fruit gardens to the rear and a gently sloping paddock to the side and rear rising to an elevated position with an area of woodland wrapping back around to the house again.
