Description

A charming, period home set within the rolling East Devon countryside, yet conveniently positioned on the edge of Exeter. Nestled in a wonderfully rural setting, the property has been thoughtfully extended and improved by the current owner to create a home that blends character and comfort with ease.

The front door opens into a welcoming porch with fitted storage, leading through to an entrance hall with an understairs cupboard. To the right, a characterful corridor with oak panelling draws you into an impressive modern kitchen, beautifully fitted with a range of units topped with granite work surfaces. Integrated appliances include an oven, dishwasher, alongside space for a large fridge freezer, while a five-ring gas hob with extractor completes the space. A feature wooden door leads through to a delightful dining room, vaulted with exposed beams and filled with natural light from three aspects. A bay window to the front frames views of the surrounding countryside, while glazed doors open directly onto the garden, creating a seamless connection with the outdoors.

On the opposite side of the house is a charming sitting room, centred around a gas-fired stove set within an inglenook-style fireplace and complemented by exposed ceiling beams. From here, the staircase rises to the first floor, while a door to the rear of the house leads to a ground floor bedroom with direct access to the garden, together with a well-appointed shower room and WC, providing excellent flexibility for guests or multigenerational living.

Upstairs, there are three further bedrooms, all enjoying lovely views across neighbouring countryside. The principal bedroom benefits from en suite facilities, while a second bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

Outside, the gardens have been thoughtfully arranged to provide a variety of spaces in which to relax and entertain. To the front of the cottage, a driveway leads to a large garage, alongside an area of lawn, raised beds and well-stocked flower borders. A gravelled seating area offers a peaceful spot to sit, while a greenhouse sits to one side of the garage. Beyond, an attractive outdoor dining area with barbecue provides the perfect setting for summer evenings, with steps rising to a superb elevated decked terrace enjoying far-reaching views across open countryside. Additional seating areas lie adjacent to the dining room on the easterly elevation, ideal for morning sun, with a smaller garden area to the rear completing this delightful setting.
