Silver Birches was built in 1952 and has been substantially extended on two occasions to provide a spacious and exceptionally versatile family home. Traditionally constructed with brick elevations, partly timber clad, beneath a tiled roof, the house enjoys the benefit of oil fired central heating and double glazing whilst retaining original features including parquet flooring to the ground floor and an attractive tiled fireplace in the dining room. The existing layout offers an exceptionally spacious kitchen/family room and a superb sitting room at first floor level that could be converted into further Bedroom accommodation if desired. There is an excellent integral double garage, ample parking and useful former stable. The gardens and grounds extend to an estimated ¾ acre with a very colourful and well established formal garden to the front, lawns, shrubs and informal woodland to the rear, all forming an ideal setting for a family home.

Located in Devon but on the very edge of Dorset, Blackpool Corner is a scattered semi rural hamlet some 3 miles to the South East of Axminster and about 4 miles from Lyme Regis. Silver Birches is well located on its plot with a South facing main aspect surrounded by some glorious undulating and unspoilt countryside and enjoying the benefit of privacy but easy accessibility.
The property is within easy reach of an excellent range of amenities with Axminster providing a mix of major supermarkets and specialist retailers, main line rail service (London Waterloo) and cottage hospital. The local village of Hawkchurch, about 1 mile away, has a traditional pub, village hall, fine old Church and popular primary school. There is a good choice of secondary schooling with Woodroffe School, Axe Valley Community College and Colyton Grammar School all within easy reach.
Lyme Regis, the traditional gateway to the Jurassic coastline, with its renowned Cobb Harbour provides sailing fishing and other water sports, whilst neighbouring countryside offers superb opportunity for walking and horse riding.
The Cathedral City of Exeter with international airport lies some 29 miles to the West and Dorchester a similar distance to the East.
