Situation Selah is a south-facing stone house with outbuildings and land in an exceptional position in the Blackdown Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), with far-reaching views including to the sea at Seaton.

M Despite the rural location, communication links are excellent with the A30 only 4.5 miles away at Chard and there is access to the M5 motorway to the north at Taunton and to the south at Exeter. Rail services are very good with regular trains from Axminster which is on the main Exeter to London Waterloo line (2 hours 40 minutes to Waterloo and 30 minutes to Exeter). Alternatively, the fastest trains from Taunton to London Paddington take approximately 1 hour 40 minutes. Exeter International Airport (24.5 miles) offers flights to various national and international destinations, including frequent direct flights to London City Airport.

S The nearby farming village of Membury has a shop and Post Office that meets a wide range of everyday needs, while the larger town of Axminster (6 miles) provides excellent more extensive amenities with its historic Minster Church, supermarkets and a wide range of shops, pubs and restaurants. Axminster is also HQ for Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage Empire and has an excellent canteen and deli. Honiton is a popular market town approximately 11 miles away and Exeter is very well-known as the major regional centre for the whole of the South West and has an extensive range of shops including a John Lewis Store, restaurants and theatres.

E Devon has an outstanding number of state and private schools within the county and Selah is ideally placed to access the majority of them. It is about 11 miles from Colyton Grammar School which is one of Britain’s best performing selective state schools. Also close by are Sherborne, Maynard Girls School and Exeter School in Exeter, Blundells School in Tiverton and Kings, Queens and Taunton School in Taunton.

G For the golfing enthusiast there are courses at Seaton, Lyme Regis, Honiton, Sidmouth and Woodbury as well as opportunities for sailing from the Axe Yacht Club, Seaton and Beer sailing clubs. The South West Coast Path is easily accessible and links into the excellent walking the area has to offer. There are also riding schools nearby.

DescriptionSelah sits in an exceptional position and the house has been cleverly designed and extended to take full advantage of the outstanding views. The south-facing stone house was originally two cottages that have been extended at both the eastern and western ends and the result is a very welcoming family home.

On the ground floor, the kitchen and large conservatory form the focal point of everyday living and take full advantage of the spectacular views. A lovely drawing room at the western end of the house, the sitting/dining room and a separate study make up the main reception rooms. A utility room and the entrance hall complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is in the south-eastern corner and has an en-suite bathroom and separate dressing room. There are three further double bedrooms, two of which are en-suite and there is a further single bedroom with a family bathroom.

There is also a large cellar with external access that has been renovated by the vendors.
