Property description
Cornhill is an historic area of the town close to the beautiful church of St Mary and just a short walk from the main shopping area, Sainsbury's and other amenities.
Corn Cottage is tucked away from the main street and provides an unusual opportunity to purchase a detached cottage, which has been refurbished in recent years with a splendid use of timber throughout, including a pleasant fitted kitchen, inviting living room with fireplace and wood burner, together with a modern gas fired central heating system. General re-decoration will make this an even more comfortable home.
On the first floor is a good sized bedroom and attractive bathroom. There is a further bedroom on the second floor. Pleasant outlooks are enjoyed in a southerly direction over the easy to manage garden to the front and over the town across to East Hill from the upstairs windows.
In all, this is a home of great character in a good accessible position. There is a storage shed and a parking space for one car to the side. Just opposite is a further designated parking bay.
Ottery St Mary is one of the most pleasant and friendly small towns in East Devon with many amenities, shops, pubs, churches, good schools including the excellent Kings School, post office, banks, medical centre, local hospital, recreational activities, sports centre and bus services. Although surrounded by beautiful open countryside it is particularly accessible; within 6 miles of the coast at Sidmouth, Exeter 10 miles (M5 junctions) with the new A30 dual carriageway giving swift access and Honiton 6 miles with further shops, amenities and mainline station (Waterloo-Exeter).
