Property description
Applewood stands on the western outskirts of this picturesque East Devon village with excellent local amenities including a community village store with Post Office, lovely old church, village hall and popular pub. The surrounding countryside offers good walking facilities and is close to excellent schools, all within easy reach of Exeter and the coast.
This charming and particularly well presented semi-detached cottage enjoys very comfortable accommodation with a wealth of character features and a superb real living kitchen, perfect for entertaining with plenty of room for a large dining table and including an extensive range of traditional white-fronted units enhanced by solid timber worktops with a Belfast sink and a dishwasher. The vaulted ceiling has exposed oak beams and creates a lovely light and airy feel with French doors opening directly on to the garden. The lovely sitting room includes a fireplace with woodburner and exposed beams. There is an attractively fitted shower room on the ground floor as well.
On the first floor are two bedrooms, the main having fine country views to the west and a wide range of fitted wardrobes. The cottage has oil fired central heating with electric underfloor heat for the kitchen.
To the front of the property is unreserved parking space and a gate leads through to the rear garden which must be seen to be appreciated. This enjoys a southerly aspect, is extremely well stocked, fully dog proofed and includes fruit trees, herbaceous borders with perennial plants and a wide range of roses. Small vegetable patch with box hedging around. Herb garden, Rhododendron, Magnolia, Clematis and Wisteria. The charming and particularly private garden has the added benefit of a detached timber and fully insulated studio building (2.21m x 2.83m), ideal for an office with power and light, double glazing and within reach of the Wifi.
Talaton has a strong community, village hall, community run shop, church and a good pub. Ottery St Mary is only a few miles away and Talaton stands within the Kings School catchment area. The local primary school at Feniton also has a strong reputation and for those wishing to commute to Exeter and the M5 or Cullompton, this village is particularly accessible. Honiton is about 5 miles away and the coast at Sidmouth within a short driving distance.
