3 Bedroom Property for sale

Property description

Vineyard Cottage is an attractive Grade II Listed mid-terrace village cottage of traditional cob and stone construction under a thatched roof with rendered and colour washed elevations, with a single storey addition at the rear, set under a single pitch slate tiled roof, encompassing the Kitchen. Inside the cottage offers unexpectedly spacious three bedroom accommodation, benefiting from all the character and charm one would expect from a cottage of this period, including a massive stone fireplace in the sitting room, pretty sash windows and window seats on the ground floor, and charming bedrooms on the first floor. The current owners have maintained the property to a high standard including having the roof re-thatched, installing under floor heating the Kitchen and Bathroom, laying attractive oak flooring in the Dining Room which complement the bespoke oak doors, and imaginatively re-decorating and re-carpeting the property throughout.

Outside to the front is an attractive raised and railed Front Garden which is sunny and south-facing and creates a lovely site for summer pots and tubs, whilst at the rear, accessed via a useful covered Side Passage, there is pretty walled Courtyard Garden, typical of many local village cottages, and which creates further outside space. In all, Vineyard Cottage offers the opportunity of a traditional cottage set in a quiet village street yet convenient for Winkleigh's amenities, offering unusually spacious accommodation and with the benefit of Courtyard style Gardens at the front and rear.
