Very Tucked Away In Velator

If you're looking for a really tucked away position, yet still convenient to shops and the village- then this character thatched cottage will fit the bill. Very flexible 4/5 bedroom accommodation and with good parking and a lovely garden, you'll be forgiven for thinking you're in the country and not the village. Many Brauntonians will not know where this cottage is situated!!

We are delighted to offer to the market this typical, period thatched Devon cottage which offers many character features and sits in a private, & tucked away position. The property had a re thatch around 10 years ago and so it has a plenty of life. Property such as this are hard to find and rarely come to the market, so we recommend a full viewing to appreciate what the cottage has to offer and the wonderful, tucked away position the cottage enjoys.

The property is Grade II listed and offers spacious accommodation with some sealed unit double glazing and gas fired central heating with underfloor heating in the kitchen & bathroom. Furthermore, there is also the advantage of solar panels which help with the electric bills. The cottage has been extended and has well planned rooms which offer a good degree of flexibility to use as a 4 or 5 bedroom home for a family or to cater for a dependent relative.

The entrance hall is to the rear of the cottage which makes sense as it is convenient to the off road parking to the side. Latched doors flow through the property and the sitting room has a wood burner set in an attractive recess with wood beam over. The kitchen is a good size with a breakfast area, painted ceiling beams and slate tiled floor. The lounge has quarter pane French doors to a lovely rear deck which is covered and this is an ideal area to entertain and dine al fresco. There are 2 comfortable ground floor bedrooms, one of which would also work as a study. The 4 piece bathroom has a large bath, walk in shower and a vanity unit with basin and WC. To the first floor are 2 bright bedrooms.

The cottage stands to the bottom of a shared tucked away lane which services 5 other individual cottages, set just off the Velator roundabout. Being convenient to the village centre yet so private, tucked away and quiet are rare traits which very few properties in the village enjoy. So only when viewed will this be fully appreciated. There is good parking to the side of the cottage beyond this there are sheds which could be taken down to offer even more parking, if required. The garden extends away from the cottage towards the south and so takes full advantage of the sunlight. The grounds are mainly lawns with a variety of shrubs and trees including figs and maples. There are many areas to sit in the garden and enjoy the tranquility whilst there is ample space for children to play and kick a bell
