King Street, Silverton

Set in the Exe Valley village of Silverton, on a quiet but central back street, this three-bedroom end terraced cottage was carefully renovated and extended by its previous owners just a few years ago. Further recent additions, such as the garden studio and driveway parking, ensure modern functionality is provided to pair with the house's distinctive period bones.

THE LAYOUT

Two gates open from King Street, offering alternative entrances to the property. One guides you to the front door, which leads directly into the sitting room. The other traces the side of the property, guiding you to the more practical, everyday entrance. Through here, you enter a thoughtfully designed porch, perfectly equipped for hanging coats and slipping off wet shoes. Adjacent lies the conveniently positioned downstairs cloakroom, before the space unfolds into the striking kitchen and dining area. Charm and character immediately reveal themselves as floorboards extend beneath neutral-toned cabinetry, while exposed beams overhead add to the warmth felt throughout. A door opens from the dining area into a perfectly sized utility space and double doors open up to the rear garden.

At the front of the house, the sitting room offers a cosy retreat but filled with the soft glow of the morning sun. Period features continue, with a large log burner nestled in an inglenook fireplace, framed by exquisite stone detailing.

Stairs lead up from the kitchen, taking you to the three bedrooms. The main bedroom, created as part of the extension, overlooks the garden and benefits from a walk in wardrobe and shower en-suite. The family bathroom is spacious and boasts some of the most aesthetic details of the whole property, with beautiful wide floorboards and further brick detailing over an historic fireplace.

OUTSIDE

The rear garden stretches to nearly 100 feet, beginning with a patio directly off the double doors and extending into a generous lawn that leads to a garden studio at the far end. This versatile space can serve as a guest retreat, home office, or a tranquil garden room to enjoy the sunny aspect. The studio is double glazed and fully insulated, with electricity and a toilet for convenience. Just beyond, a gate opens onto Applemede, where you also find the off-street parking area. There is a further smaller stone built outbuilding in the front garden area, ideal for storing garden equipment or bikes.

THE VILLAGE

Silverton is located on the commuter friendly side of Exeter—as well as being handily located for access to Exeter airport and both Exeter St. David’s and Tiverton Parkway train stations—and is thought to be one of the oldest villages in Devon. It continues to be an extremely sought after village as it provides the fantastic combination of the ‘village lifestyle’ whilst also being well connected to the city of Exeter. Amenities in the village itself are exceptional, with a brilliant Doctor’s surgery, convenience store, post office, primary school and two pubs.

* the property is subject to a right of way across the rear garden, used only very occasionally by neighbours.
