Property description
SaleBoards are thrilled to list this delightful 200-year-old stone-built cottage tucked away in a leafy conservation area on the edge of Alphington, which offers excellent amenities including local shops, a post office, doctors' surgery and pharmacy, a supermarket, good bus links to Exeter's city centre, and a highly regarded primary school. While the cottage enjoys the seclusion of a hidden, semi-rural no-through lane, the A30 and M5 are easily accessible within a few minutes drive of the property.
Opening to a beautiful open-plan living space, the internal accommodation also comprises a kitchen, shower room, utility area and an integral garage on the ground floor. Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms which all boast built-in storage, and the master bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room. Externally, the re-landscaped garden is fully enclosed and provides a pleasant outside space. Subject to the necessary consents, the garage could be extended to the rear to provide additional parking. Alternatively, there is ample unrestricted parking on the no-through Ide Lane which is approximately 50 paces from the property.
With its lovely position and space, this excellent property should be viewed in order to be fully appreciated.
