Description
Approached via a long farm drive leading to a central courtyard, Kerswell Farmhouse is set in a peaceful rural location near Exeter, making it an ideal choice for multi-generational living or those seeking a serene lifestyle. The property retains its character and charm, with original features such as exposed beams, stone flooring, and an inglenook fireplace.
Main Residence
The heart of the home is an open-plan kitchen and dining room, perfect for family gatherings. A secondary staircase leads to the first floor. Adjacent to the hallway is a spacious living room with a large inglenook fireplace, creating a cozy focal point for winter evenings. A window seat and steps lead down to an additional reception room, which also features a charming wood burner.
At the rear of the cottage, a utility room and separate boot room with a downstairs cloakroom add to the practicality of the home. Upstairs, there are five double bedrooms, including one with an en-suite shower room, plus a family bathroom.
Self-Contained Annex
The annex, accessible via its own entrance from the courtyard, offers a flexible living space. It includes a kitchen with built-in cupboards, a downstairs shower room, and stairs leading to an open sitting room and master bedroom. Currently, the owners use the annex as a comfortable space for parents, but it also presents an opportunity for income generation through platforms like Airbnb.
Outbuildings & Land
The property is complemented by a barn with potential for conversion into additional living accommodation, subject to planning approval. The surrounding land is a haven for nature enthusiasts, featuring two woodlands, a mature orchard, a stream, a pond and pastureland.
Vendor's Thoughts:
The current owners have lived in the property since 2008. Initially, it was a renovation project, and the potential for multi-generational living was a major attraction. They fell in love with the cottage even before viewing it and have since poured their hearts into transforming it into a beautiful family home. It's been a cherished place for their children to grow up and enjoy the peace and charm of country life.
