Description
Set in just under half an acre of private land with rolling countryside views. Underhill Estate Agents are delighted to bring to market this beautifully presented, 17th century grade II listed, detached cottage set in the beautiful Devonshire countryside. This stunning thatched 3-bed home, with the potential to become a 4-bed property, is full of original and period features but has been brought up to the modern age through extensive renovation and features such as underfloor heating and a bespoke 'Ashgrove' fitted kitchen and utility room. Set on approximately half an acre of land, this property offers plenty of space and privacy with an incredibly spacious detached double garage with a high pitched roof, a thatched roof barn with covered seating/log store area, a paddock and allotment, beautifully presented gardens and a raised sun deck to enjoy the views of the rolling Devonshire countryside. Just a 15 minute drive to Exeter (Exe Bridges/Marsh Barton) and only a 5-minute drive to the breath-taking Dartmoor National Park.
The cottage is superbly presented throughout, and brimming with period features, including beamed ceilings, an original plank & muntin oak screen dividing the living room and entrance hall, 2 log burners and exposed roof timbers to name but a few. The property has been brought into the modern age with comforts such as an impressive 'Ashgrove' fitted kitchen with black granite working surfaces, integrated dishwasher and fridge and matching 'Ashgrove' utility room, as well as predominately natural slate flooring with underfloor central heating throughout the ground floor. There is a ground floor family bathroom and an upstairs cloakroom with sink.
The entirety of one end of the cottage has undergone intense renovation and has been re-rendered and re-painted by the current owners using specialist contractors and materials. These renovation works also included the log burner being completely replaced, including the flue.
