Found in the heart of one of Mid Devon’s most sought-after villages, Coburg Cottage offers the very best of village life. Newton St Cyres is a thriving community with its welcoming pub, Italian restaurant, village primary school, church, and regular bus and train services linking you effortlessly with Exeter, Crediton and beyond. It’s a place where life moves at a gentler pace, with glorious countryside all around, yet the convenience of the city only minutes away. Set within over a third of an acre of sprawling private gardens, this gorgeous Grade II listed home captures the essence of Devon living. Beautifully renovated and extended over time, it balances warmth and character with modern comfort, creating a family home that is both practical and enchanting. From the moment you step inside, there’s an unmistakable sense of history - exposed beams, thick stone walls, and a magnificent inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove - yet the spaces flow easily for contemporary family life and it’s all been completed to a high standard. The kitchen and dining room is the real heart of the home, a bright and welcoming space with French doors opening onto the terrace and overlooking the garden and taking in some stunning views. It’s the kind of room where you can imagine relaxed family dinners and Sunday roasts, or gathering friends around the table after a busy week. Across the hall, the large living room feels both spacious and cosy, with three large windows and that wonderful fireplace at its centre. There’s room for another dining table if desired too. A further reception room at the rear offers flexibility, perfect as a snug, home office or playroom, and opens onto a sheltered courtyard. As one would expect from a home like this, there’s also a WC and cloakroom area to the ground floor and bespoke built in storage to keep things ordered. Upstairs, four generous double bedrooms provide plenty of space and offer flexibility. The dual-aspect master suite takes in far-reaching countryside views and has its own en-suite shower room, while the other bedrooms are equally inviting, each enjoying outlooks over the gardens and fields beyond. A stylish family bathroom with roll-top bath completes the first floor, perfect for a long soak at the end of the day. The gardens are a true delight. Extending to just over a third of an acre, they combine formal lawns and borders with more natural areas to explore. A pergola-covered terrace (south facing) is the ideal spot for summer dining while watching the sunset, and the sheltered courtyard offers another option for al fresco meals. Mature trees and winding paths give the grounds a sense of discovery, with space for children to play or for adults to enjoy a moment of peace. Practicality hasn’t been forgotten either, with a paved parking and turning area with room for numerous vehicles and a detached double garage. Coburg Cottage isn’t simply a house, but a lifestyle - a home with history, community, and countryside meet, and where new owners can settle into a village that offers as much warmth as the cottage itself.
