Widworthy Court, Wilmington, Honiton, Devon

THE PROPERTY.
Farm Cottage is a charming mews style residence which has a picturesque approach under the clock tower overlooking the fountain courtyard. The property is of traditional construction with rendered elevations under a slated roof and has been the subject of a significant programme of improvement in recent years. It is found in beautiful order with great care and attention given to the fittings and overall finish. This has included the replacement of the kitchen which is superbly appointed and has modern units with brass handles under a composite worktop, the addition of an electric ‘smart’ heating system, as well as installing secondary glazing to the windows. The property has also been redecorated throughout and has a warm and welcoming atmosphere which is particularly light due to the large sash windows to many of the rooms.

To the first floor there are three large double bedrooms, two of which have delightful views over the courtyard, and an attractive modern shower room with underfloor heating.
