The driveway is situated off the A373, and the cottage is a short distance from the centre of the sought after village of Awliscombe which benefits from an active local community and convenient amenities, including a well-regarded primary school and a popular village hall.

Approximately 1.5 miles to the southeast lies the vibrant market town of Honiton, offering a wide range of shops and services, a direct rail link Between Exeter and London Waterloo and excellent road access via the A30.

The M5 motorway at Junction 28 (Cullompton) is easily reached, approximately 8.5 miles to the north providing swift connections to the wider region.

Description - The cottage has been thoughtfully extended and modernised over the years to a high standard. The result is a bright and versatile home, beautifully complimented by its stunning outside space, which is ideal for young families, professionals, or those looking for a retirement retreat.

On entering, you’re welcomed by an inviting entrance porch leading into a stylish dining area. From here, three steps lead directly into the newer extension offering a spacious sitting room which boasts a beautiful feature fireplace with a woodburning stove and built-in storage, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Leading from the sitting room is a sunny conservatory, providing additional flexible living space, perfect for all year-round use. The conservatory is fitted with bespoke Duette blinds for comfort and privacy and provides direct access into the garden.

To the left of the dining area three steps lead into a single bedroom with an airy en-suite bathroom and offering stunning countryside views across the Blackdown Hills.

The kitchen/breakfast room is superbly appointed, featuring a comprehensive range of contemporary units, integrated appliances and a charming double Belfast sink. The breakfast area enjoys exceptional countryside views and includes generous storage, including access to a larder and utility room, which offers additional units, plumbing for appliances and access to the side of the property.

To the far side of the main kitchen there is an additional flexible room, currently being used as a home office, which also has an en-suite shower room and could easily be used as another moderate sized bedroom.

Upstairs, a spacious landing area leads to two double bedrooms, both offering glorious south facing views, each benefitting from en-suite shower rooms.

Outside - Accessed via electric entrance gates, opening onto a driveway with ample parking for several vehicles with access to a double garage. The property has direct access onto the A373, assisted by roadside mirrors which provide added ease and safety when joining the road.

The garage is equipped with a roll-up electric door, side pedestrian access, power points and lighting, offering excellent storage or workshop potential.

The front and side gardens have been landscaped, featuring elegant oak timber sleeper beds and porcelain paving that wraps around the southern boundary of the cottage. This area leads to an expansive patio terrace, ideally positioned for al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining, whilst enjoying far reaching views of the surrounding countryside.

Elevated to the east of the cottage lies the decked area, professionally installed by Urban Earth and complemented by an oak pergola – a truly delightful setting for relaxing or hosting guests. Discreetly installed outdoor lighting has been carefully designed to enhance the space and create a warm, ambient atmosphere after dark.

The far east of the plot is mostly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and an established fruit tree. At the back of the plot, electricity has been installed and there is space to erect a “garden room/outdoor studio” if desired.

The small rear garden is fully enclosed and designed for low maintenance living featuring artificial grass and providing an additional private, sheltered seating/dining area. This peaceful area is easily accessed from the rear of the property and offers uninterrupted panoramic countryside views.
