West Street, Witheridge, EX16

Witheridge is a popular Devon village with connections to both Tiverton, Crediton and South Molton, it has a wonderful community and is surrounded by the Devonshire countryside yet not isolated. With a post office / store and a further general store / shop, pub and regular bus service, it’s only 15 minutes from Tiverton and onward connections. In addition the village offers a primary school, doctor’s surgery, vets surgery, pub and sports club. Just off the central square is West Street, a historic part of the village with plenty of history. The property was formerly part of a pub and was converted several years ago to create a mews of homes from the rear courtyard. The front is onto the street and access for vehicles and pedestrians can be gained down the adjacent side lane.

The cottage itself is in need of some improvements having been let for a number of years, it now offers tremendous potential to create a wonderful home. Laid out over two floors, there’s a central hallway in from the front door and then access to two reception rooms, one of which could be altered to create a separate snug or study and a ground floor WC/shower room maybe, and the other, with its large fireplace works well as a sitting room. There’s a kitchen/dining room to the rear and a rear lean-to could be renovated to make a useful utility at the very back. On the first floor are three bedrooms and a wet-room.

At the back, there’s a shared courtyard (access to be provided at all times) and this leads to a large single garage (it’s nearly a double!) with up and over door which provides ample parking plus there is an additional parking space. The garden is a good sized but is detached from the house yet offers a haven away from the road.
