Located in a cul-de-sac location within the sought after village of Thorverton in the Exe Valley, this former Grade II listed Rectory was converted in the late 1970’s into stylish and spacious apartments. Although leasehold (959 years remaining) the property comes with a share of the freehold as a director of the management company so there’s control over maintenance and service schedules and charges. Also worth noting is that from the imposing front door, once in the hall, the access to apartment 14 has it’s own access and stairway to the first floor so it feels private and well kept. The other notable point is the room sizes and the amount of storage for a property of this type, large cupboards and stores internally are a great addition, as are the built in wardrobes.
Having undergone a series of improvements, this first floor apartment is presented in excellent order, has gas central heating and the added benefit of a large loft. The large sash windows allow plenty of light to flood the rooms and also give the wonderful views over the village rooftops to the surrounding countryside. There’s a cosy dual aspect living room, a spacious kitchen/dining room which has been recently updated, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The décor is neutral and the whole property is ready to move in to with no onward chain.
Outside, the driveway leads in to a parking/turning area with an allocated parking space and there is use of the communal gardens with the apartment too.
