A substantial & impressive unlisted period family home with a plot of 1.14 acres sympathetically converted from a convent church with generous well-presented accommodation, private walled garden, large kitchen garden & paddock. Plenty of parking & garage.

 

Description: The Church is one of six large properties converted in 1991 from a former Brigittine convent originally dating from 1887. The convent was formally named the Abbey Church of St Bridget of Syon, or locally known as Syon Abbey. An outline of the history can be found on the Chudleigh History Group website.

 

The architect designed and sympathetic conversion of The Church ensures the property functions well as a comfortable family home making the best use of the available space, whilst also retaining the wealth of features and impressive dimensions of the former church. In particular the stunning dining hall with its vaulted ceilings, stain glass window commemorating the Chudleigh miracle, tiled floor, and Italian marble columns. The property has been in the same ownership since it was converted.

 

Accommodation extends to around 268 square meters or 2888 square feet including the dining hall/family room, kitchen, utility room, living room, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, study/5th bedroom, entrance hall, conservatory and cloakroom/WC. Outside the plot measures over an acre with a beautifully landscaped and private walled garden off the house leading to the garage and driveway parking. There is also an impressive kitchen garden and a paddock for a pony or horse, or offering potential for development subject to planning permission.

 

The property has all the amenities you would expect from a modern home including fibre broadband and gas central heating, and has achieved a respectable ‘D’ rating on the EPC.

 

Viewings: Strictly by appointment with the selling agent: James Taylor – The Agency UK Teignbridge.

Flood Risk
Surface Water
Very low
Unlike flooding from rivers, surface water flooding can happen many miles from a river, often in places that people wouldn’t expect because it’s a long way from a river or stream – it happens simply because there is nowhere else for the rainwater to go. Risk ratings are measured as:
High Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 30 (3.3%) in any one year.
Medium Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 100 (1.0%) in any one year.
Low Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.
Very Low Risk - an area in which the risk is below 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.

Testimonial 1
Mr and Mrs F: We were delighted with our experience. James Taylor was unfailingly helpful. His photos were exceptional and the house sold in two weeks. We would recommend him without any reservation.
Testimonial 2
James made the process of selling as simple as possible in these difficult times. They showed prospective purchasers around and helped us prepare for the sale with good advice. Once a purchaser made an offer communications were maintained on a regular basis and James helped us over the finishing line.
Testimonial 3
We have just exchanged on our purchase, James Taylor has been excellent to the point it felt like he was actually our agent?! James is incredibly polite, efficient and organised. He took the time to stay in touch and was extremely professional throughout. Although we sold our house with another estate agent, we barely heard from them and if we could give James a cut of our estate agent fees we would as he deserves it. Thank you for your hard work!
Testimonial 4
James sold our house for us recently, and we would highly recommend him. He took time to take great photos of our house, and produced a fab brochure which garnered lots of interest. Through the twists and turns of selling during a pandemic, James was really easy to get hold of, and kept us fully informed. He made a challenging process a lot easier. We would really recommend James if you want to sell your house.
Testimonial 5
Honest, calm and trustworthy. James made a competitive and daunting situation look manageable. He certainly made our experience more pleasant. I think this will have worked well for the seller too offering the confidence and diplomacy to ensure a successful sale. A gem standing out from its competitors. I would highly recommend without reservation.
Testimonial 6
We found the perfect home in the right area and James just so happened to do all viewings and was our point of contact throughout. My wife and I were always highly impressed with his professionalism and refreshingly honest personal approach. At all times throughout the process, he worked meticulously both with us, and for the seller - answering every question speedily and with detail. We highly recommend!

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.

In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:

avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.

min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
