Description
DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
Hensford Mews is a small development of 7 very attractive barn conversions and an old mill, set around a large, brick paved courtyard, all of which are traditionally constructed of stone with slate roof coverings. The development sits in the midst of lovely countryside just outside the small hamlet of Ashcombe, which itself is just a short drive out to the A380 and into the seaside town of Dawlish, where many major amenities can be found.
A little further afield, though still easily commutable (approx. 9 miles), lies the cathedral city of Exeter with its wealth of facilities and access to major road (A30, A38 and M5) networks, rail and air services.
Heron's Leigh is one of the largest conversions in the complex and arguably enjoys the best plot with its adjacent double garage, quite stunning gardens and country views which can be enjoyed from all of the principal rooms, including the large conservatory which adjoins the lounge. The property is nicely presented and offers a great deal of inherent character with exposed ceiling timbers and a fitted kitchen with traditional pine doors. It also has the benefit of a mains gas supply, which powers the central heating and cooking facilities and is unusual in a country location. The house is also fitted with a burglar alarm and extensively double glazed with timber sealed units.
DIRECTIONS
Take the A379 from Exeter, heading towards Dawlish. Pass through the villages of Kenton and Starcross and past Cockwood harbour. Just before reaching the outskirts of Dawlish, turn right into Port Road. Follow Port Road, then take the sharp second turn left onto Branscombe Lane. Continue along Branscombe Lane until you reach the T- juction, where you turn right onto Hensford Road. Hensford Mews will be found on the right a little way down this lane. Parking is in front of the double garage directly in front, as you drive into the complex.

OUTSIDE
Pedestrian access to Heron's Leigh is via a large open and brick paved courtyard that services this small development. The courtyard enjoys courtesy lighting, interspersed planting and several of the old machine parts reclaimed from the mill workings dotted around to remind the owners of their home's original uses. Across the private side courtyard (and just a few steps from the kitchen door) stands the detached double garage.
DOUBLE GARAGE
The large double garage benefits from a wide electric up and over door, plus a pedestrian side door. Power, light and window to rear.
GARDENS Perhaps some of the best features of the property are the very extensive rear gardens. Fenced in and secure, the gardens are mainly laid to lawn and interspersed with many plants, flowers and juvenile trees. There is a wonderful timber summer house with power and its own paved patio upon which many summer evenings could be whiled away. There is also a good size garden shed with adjoining mower store. It is worthy to note how much the rear gardens feel part of the local countryside itself. They truly are delightful and go some way to make the property very special.
We are informed that there is a small maintenance charge of apprx. £150.00 per annum, which covers the communal water and electricty provided to the courtyard and parking area and the emptying of the communal septic tank.
