This beautiful Grade II Listed detached cottage enjoys some wonderful views, especially from the first floor and is found in the heart of this pretty Mid-Devon village just a 'stones' throw away from the Church and a short walk from the popular Waie Inn with restaurant, pub, swimming pool and children’s play areas amongst other things.
The spacious 3 bedroom accommodation includes many character features with a wonderful open fireplace, some amazing period wooden doors and window seats being particular highlights. There is an upstairs bathroom which has a lovely ‘period style’ modern white suite fitted, the large kitchen diner is a blank canvass ready for a beautiful room to be created by the next owners, plus 2 reception rooms with the living room (4.9m x 4.88m) enjoying the large open fireplace. The snug has its own external door and separate staircase to the 3rd bedroom and so could be used as a partial annexe if desired.
Outside, the thatched cottage enjoys an 80ft garden which is almost completely secluded by a mature hedge and tree line, plus there is a modern workshop with light and power, which could be used to create a single/double garage by creating an access from Western Road (subject to permissions).There is also a separate enclosed and level lawned garden (20m x 7.5m) and a double garage with parking in front - which are found a few minutes' walk (350m) away up Gissage Lane.
ZEAL MONACHORUM is a parish and village situated some 8 miles north-west from Crediton. Approximately 500 ft above sea level the village is sited on a south facing slope. It comprises many old properties of character (several of the thatched houses and cottages being subject to preservation orders). The name of the village is derived from the Latin 'Cella Monachorum' (the cell of the Monks), and part of the parish church which is the third building to stand on the present site was a cell of the Benedictine Abbey from Buckfast from 1016 when Canute bestowed on the Abbot the Manor of Zeal Monachorum. There is the Waie Inn which offers facilities including swimming pool, squash courts and snooker room etc. The village is in a peaceful setting, well away from any main roads.
