Description

Old Kiddicott is a period Grade II Listed 5 bedroom cottage, conveniently located on the edge of the highly sought-after village of Clyst St Mary. The house has recently undergone extensive renovations including a one bedroom annexe in the grounds. The property has a lovely blend of period charm with modern features, including sympathetically installed hard wood double glazing.

The ground floor boasts a welcoming entrance and handy well-appointed cloak room with a striking tiled shower cubicle and period style w/c and wash hand basin. The property's original entrance hall with turning staircase leads to what is now a rear porch with access to the garden. To the left is a dual aspect sitting room with exposed beams and log burner. There also is a lovely dining room which includes a large stone inglenook fireplace with bread oven.

The newly fitted kitchen and breakfast room has an impressive array of wooden units, and beautiful exposed timbers with aga and central island, stone flooring and additional storage. Off the kitchen is a useful larder providing additional storage. On the Western side of the kitchen, an impressive breakfast room with sloping glass roof provides access to the garden. Completing the ground floor is a home/work office and a walk-through utility that gives access to the attached garage.

On the first floor there are 5 double bedrooms, a family bathroom with a roll top bath and a separate shower room. The property benefits from two staircases from the kitchen and entrance hall.

Outside, the area to the front of the property allows parking for several vehicles with access to the garage and annexe. The large garage has oak folding doors, a running water connection and power and light. The detached one bedroom annexe has an open-plan kitchen and sitting room, a double bedroom plus a shower room and offers potential to be used as additional income or for multi-generational living. There is also an area of lawn with four flowerbeds and a working water pump.

To the rear there is good size private garden that is laid mainly to lawn with well stocked flowerbed borders. There is a vegetable garden and greenhouse and a patio/seating area and brick built barbecue gives a great outdoor entertaining space for the warmer months.
