Property description
Video Tour: http://youtu.be/jBtSXzlJCsM. Reduced for a quick sale. A charming and spacious secluded semi-detached character cottage in the highly popular village of Broadclyst. A combination of stone and cob construction, the thick walls provide a peaceful retreat in a private position. The village itself has good primary and secondary schools, as well as a local supermarket, shops, parish church and good bus links into Exeter and the surrounding area.
The internal accommodation comprises an entrance hall with a wide staircase to the first floor, a good-sized lounge with a large feature fireplace and window seat, a kitchen diner, utility room and a spacious bathroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, there are two generously sized double bedrooms, with the L-shaped master forming an excellent additional space for a dressing area, nursery or study. Externally, there are good-sized cottage gardens at the front of the cottage. A stone chipping path leads around the side of the property to the rear, where there is a re-landscaped courtyard area, which includes a newly designed feature wall with shelves for seating and displaying potted plants.
Built approximately two hundred years ago for its original use as part of a pub, the property has recently undergone a program of refurbishments including replacement to Anglian uPVC leaded windows and a delightfully restored exterior. The cottage retains plentiful character features including many latched doors, a window seat, beamed ceilings, inglenook fireplace and original storage. With its hidden position, excellent condition, character and surprising space this unique property is an ideal choice for both investors or home owners and really must be viewed in order to fully appreciate the opportunity offered.
