Colebrooke, Crediton, EX17

Penstone is a small hamlet between the larger villages of Coleford and Colebrooke and sits in a beautiful part of the county. It’s a collection of period houses, characterised by thatched roofs and whitewashed walls. This property is an end terraced, Grade II listed thatched cottage that has undergone a full renovation which really adds to the appeal of the cottage. There is underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and radiators upstairs, all powered by an airsource heat pump, allowing the house to still breathe but providing a great constant temperature. Of course, there Is also the wood-burner for those extra cosy nights in

As mentioned, the cottage has been updated throughout whilst ensuring the character of the building is retained. The layout is typical of a cottage of this type with the living room opening through to the kitchen at the rear. A well-designed space, the kitchen adds to the feel of the house with its built in appliances and solid wood tops. The shower room is fully tiled and a lovely place to be, being bright and stylish. From the living room are stairs up to the first floor where the two bedrooms can be found.

Outside, to the side is off-road parking for 2 vehicles and a gate leads to the garden. There’s a useful bin/wood store on the lower level and access to the back door. Steps lead up to the good sized garden which rises to provide some stunning rural views. A notable point is that there is a full irrigation system in place for the front and rear flower beds which is a really nice touch. There is a fantastic seating area to the top of the garden too with views and space to relax. Power runs to the good sized timber outbuilding which could be used for a multitude of things including a home office, workshop or just as a store.

To find a cottage with such character and in great condition doesn’t happen often and we love the addition of the airsource heatpump for constant and efficient heating. Once this is all combined with the setting and garden, plus off-road parking, it’s sure to appeal.
