Seller's Story
When I first bought Bradley House, I knew it had incredible potential and over the years I’ve loved transforming it into the home it is today. Every improvement has been made with family living and entertaining in mind, creating spaces that are both welcoming and practical.
For me, it has been the perfect Blundell’s home. The location makes school life wonderfully straightforward, and the house has been at the heart of so many memories, from book clubs and women’s wellness evenings to lively teenage parties and last-minute dashes to the station. Friends regularly used it as a base, leaving cars here before heading to London or on to events, knowing how easy it is to connect by train or taxi.
It has truly been a great pad for that full and connected lifestyle balancing family, school, social life, and easy links to London when needed. Now, as I prepare to head back ‘home’ to Australia, it feels like the right time to pass Bradley House on to a new family who can enjoy it as much as I have.
Introduction
Set in the heart of Ash Thomas, a peaceful Mid Devon village, Bradley House is a beautifully restored Georgian home with a rich sense of history and over 4,300 square foot of stylish living space. Thoughtfully updated and with no expense spared, the property retains its period charm while offering modern comforts, including underfloor heating to all three floors via an air source heat pump, Accoya timber double-glazed windows, and a layout that suits both family life and entertaining.
Bradley House provides a prime location for families and just over 3 miles from the highly regarded Blundells School in Tiverton. With Tiverton Parkway station nearby, offering direct services to London Paddington in under two hours, Bradley House combines village tranquillity with exceptional access to schooling, the South West, and the capital.
The Inside
Step through the front door and into a generous reception hall where striking tiled flooring and high ceilings set the tone for the rest of the house. From here, the layout flows with ease between formal and informal spaces, creating a home that works as well for quiet family life as it does for entertaining.
To one side, the snug is a warm and inviting retreat, with a wood-burning stove set into a character stone and brick fireplace and patio doors opening to the garden. The adjoining garden room, currently used as a gym, is flooded with natural light and would make an inspiring home office or studio. Across the hall, the sitting room offers space for relaxed gatherings and leads through to the converted studio above the garage, perfect for creative work, hobbies, or even additional guest accommodation.
The heart of the home is the superb open-plan kitchen and dining room. Shaker-style cabinetry is paired with timber worktops and a central island that doubles as a breakfast bar. A two-oven electric AGA sits proudly within the original range fireplace, flanked by built-in appliances and generous storage. The dining area has ample space for a large table and enjoys herringbone flooring, a wood-burning stove, and French doors opening onto the terrace for seamless indoor outdoor living. Practicality is well catered for with a large boot/utility room offering bespoke storage, space for laundry appliances, and a walk-in pantry. There’s also a ground floor shower room and direct access to the front garden, ideal for muddy boots or pets after countryside walks.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom is a serene and spacious retreat, complete with its own dressing room and an en suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms on this level share a beautifully finished family bathroom with a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, and double vanity. The top floor offers two further double bedrooms, one currently arranged as a games and media room. This upper level is perfect for teenagers, guests, or as a dedicated work from home zone, offering both privacy and flexibility.
The Outside
Bradley House sits within around half an acre of beautifully kept gardens, creating a sense of privacy and space while remaining easy to maintain. The approach is along a gently rising driveway from the village lane, leading to a broad gravelled parking area with ample space for multiple vehicles.
To the front, directly accessible from the kitchen/dining room via French doors, is a paved terrace perfectly positioned for al fresco dining and summer entertaining. This suntrap overlooks the main lawn, bordered by mature laurel hedging and traditional dry stone walls, giving a timeless and secluded feel to the garden. The plot has been carefully landscaped to provide distinct areas of interest while keeping sightlines open, so the house always remains the focal point. There’s space for children to play, for gardeners to create their own planting schemes, and for relaxed outdoor living in all seasons. Attached to the main house is the former coach house, now converted into a double garage with a versatile studio above. This upper level is an adaptable space that could serve as a home office, gym, or guest suite, with the potential to be developed into self-contained ancillary accommodation if required.
A separate access at the rear of the coach house opens onto a farm track, over which the property has both vehicular and pedestrian rights of way. This allows the coach house to operate independently from the main home, offering excellent flexibility for future use. With its mix of formal and informal garden areas, practical outbuildings, and charming architectural details, the outside space at Bradley House perfectly complements the elegance and versatility of the interiors.
