Description
As you enter, you'll be welcomed by an entrance hall, which once served as the hallway for the individual properties. This space now offers a glimpse into the home's past while setting the tone for the character-filled interior. To the front of the property is the main living room, complete with exposed beams, a wood burner, and a staircase leading to the first floor.
At the rear, a recently fitted galley kitchen with high-end integrated appliances awaits, along with a separate utility room. Leading off the utility room is a spacious diner/family room with another wood burner and a stunning original stone staircase. This area is believed to have once contained an original bread oven, adding to the home's rich history.
On the first floor, the first staircase leads to two generously sized bedrooms, both sharing a modern, fitted shower room and WC. The second staircase takes you to the standout feature of the home-the elegant master bedroom. This expansive room is designed for luxury and comfort, featuring a freestanding bath, separate WC, and a walk-in wardrobe, offering a serene retreat from the rest of the home.
The larger-than-average westerly-facing rear garden provides an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the summer sunshine, with a decorative patio ensuring low maintenance. To the front of the property, enjoy lovely views of Alphington Church and a small garden that sets the cottage back from the road.
Upgraded with an electric smart water and heating system controlled by solar panels, the property harmoniously combines modern convenience with the charm of the past. With double glazing and a slate roof, this cottage offers both comfort and sustainability.
Situated in the highly sought-after location of Alphington, the property is within easy reach of Exeter City Centre, the A38, and the M5 corridor-ideal for those who want a peaceful yet accessible location.
If you're looking for a cottage with abundant character, warmth, and charm in a prime area, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
