Property description
Picardy is a light and spacious semi-detached cottage of space and character, carefully extended and refurbished in recent years to provide a practical family home that is also suitable for retirement occupation. The pretty porch and front door opens in to a hall with study, cloakroom, family room/bedroom four and a comfortable living room with fireplace and woodburner. This leads in to a super family sized kitchen/dining room fitted with a wide range of country style units incorporating fridge freezer, dishwasher and space for a range cooker. The useful utility leads off, again with fitted units and space for a washing machine. A door opens in to the fully enclosed gravelled rear courtyard and to the attached outhouse providing plenty of storage space and fitted with an oil fired boiler for central heating and domestic hot water.
On the first floor are three charming bedrooms with attractive outlooks, the master having a lovely en-suite bathroom (including bath and shower) together with a smart family bathroom.
To the front of the cottage is an enclosed lawned garden with Beech and other hedging and a long drive provides ample parking space with a five bar gate on to Church Road.
The cottage is attractively decorated in neutral colours and provides a "ready to move in to" home of comfort, charm and character.
The construction is of attractive mellow brick under a slated roof and a mature wisteria climbs to the front of the cottage, coming in to its own in the spring time.
All the amenities of Whimple are within a short level walk.
Whimple: The mainline railway station on the London Waterloo-Exeter line is within the village, as are the doctor's surgery, post office, church, bus service, well respected local primary school and heritage centre.
