Property description
Description
An attractive and well-appointed turn of the century detached cottage standing in a quiet and peaceful wooded location yet still within walking distance of the centre of this much sought after East Devon village.
Originally built in around 1900, this attractive cottage was sympathetically extended by the previous owners and further extended in 2007 and now offers light and spacious family accommodation, benefitting from gas central heating and uPVC double glazed windows throughout.
The accommodation offers Reception Hall, Living Room, Study, beautifully fitted Kitchen/Breakfast room with integrated appliances opening into the Dining Room, Laundry Room and Cloakroom on the Ground Floor. On the first floor is a Master Suite with double bedroom overlooking the wooded gardens and an En-Suite Shower Room. There are three further well-proportioned Bedrooms, and a Family Bathroom.
The cottage is approached by a private gravelled drive leading to a parking and turning area, double car port and double garage. A footpath then leads across the front garden to the paved terrace and the surrounding gardens with numerous mature trees and shrubs providing privacy from neighbouring homes.
