Situation
Littlecote is a quaint 3-4 bedroom cottage, located in the highly desirable East Devon village of East Budleigh—an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty—this charming and historic village is best known as the birthplace of Sir Walter Raleigh (b.1552). The village offers a welcoming community and a good range of local amenities, including a traditional pub, a beautiful church, a well-regarded primary school (Ofsted: Good), and an active community shop.
Just under two miles away lies the coastal town of Budleigh Salterton, with its wide range of services and access to an unspoilt pebbled beach. For sandy shores, Exmouth is only six miles away. The university and cathedral city of Exeter is around 10 miles to the west, offering the full facilities expected of a regional centre, along with railway stations on both the Waterloo and Paddington lines, plus an international airport.
East Budleigh sits within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, close to the picturesque River Otter valley, where there are scenic walks to enjoy. To the west, East Budleigh Common, Bicton Common, and Woodbury Common provide miles of countryside ideal for walking, birdwatching, and horse riding.
**Accommodation. **
This fantastic cottage offers so much potential for someone to create a spectacular home in one of East Devon's most sought after locations. The front door opens into a spacious hallway, with doors leading into the principle part of the house and stairs up to the first floor. The traditional front room is a well proportioned room with attractive bay window to the front, overlooking the view of the front garden. A further Living room is off the main hallway while double doors lead from here into the garden rooms. The kitchen is at the heart of the house and is well appointed with wall and base units, as well as a free standing oven. Separate to the Kitchen is a pantry room and additional utility room providing plenty of additional storage. At the end of the property is a downstairs W/C and family bathroom.
Upstairs there are three attractive bedrooms, each with a fantastic view over the surrounding gardens or across to the Otter Valley. There is also a family bathroom on this level, with panel bath and electric shower over, a W/C and pedestal basin.
Throughout the property there is a huge amount of scope for someone to create their own perfect home here. Whether through altering the layout to suit their specific requirements or just by adding their own personality to the décor.
The property sits squarely in the middle of the plot which gives you a really nice front and back garden. Both are primarily level and laid to lawn, with pretty borders and mature shrubs creating a high degree of privacy. At the rear of the property there are areas of attractive patio cleverly located to make the most of the sun throughout the day.
All mains services are connected, mains gas, water, electric and drainage.
Underground at the rear of the property is a historic World War 2 bomb shelter. This has been previously used as additional storage but is now derelict.
