The Hill, Kilmington, Axminster

Well presented two bedroom semi detached period cottage with attractive gardens set in a central village location with the benefit of no onward chain.

The Property - The property forms part of an attractive street scene in the ever popular East Devon village of Kilmington. The cottage enjoys an attractive stone faced facade with brick detailing under a slate filed roof. The cottage has been in the same family’s ownership and is welcomed to the market for the first time in close to a century. In more recent times there have been a number of improvements including replacement double glazed windows and doors, a modern kitchen refurbishment and contemporary shower room. Despite these improvements the property would benefit from some general updating.

Accommodation - To the front elevation is a sitting room with LPG gas fire and back boiler which provides domestic heating via a central heating system. There is a large dining room with staircase rising to the first floor landing and a step that leads down to a modern fitted kitchen, comprising of gloss fronted cream units, fitted cooker hood and freestanding electric oven. A lean-to style utility room with a single skin, brick elevations and double glazed frame provides additional storage and space for white goods. To the first floor are two well proportioned bedrooms and a smart remodelled shower room which is accessed via the second bedroom. The sellers have advised us that the original hallway between the second bedroom and shower room was removed to create a larger room. This could be reinstated to provide privacy to both the bedroom and shower room again. Of note is the pleasant views from the rear of the cottage.

Outside - To the front of the cottage is a part walled lawned garden with pathway running alongside the house to the front elevation which continues to the rear of the property. There is a possibility that the front garden could be used as off street parking, subject to Local Authority approval. At the rear, there is a most attractive enclosed lawned garden with mature shrubs and a small brick built tool store and outside WC. The garden can be accessed from the house via the utility.

Situation - The renowned East Devon village of Kilmington provides an excellent selection of local amenities including a primary school, church, village hall, cricket pitch and play park, including tennis courts. There is a petrol station with convenience store, an excellent farm shop and nearby public inn. Axminster (2 miles) is a country town on the eastern fringes of Devon, close to the border with Dorset.
