THE PROPERTY
Milestone Cottage is an outstanding detached house which has origins dating back several hundred years and has been extended in more recent years, creating this fine family home we find today. The property sits in a wonderful, elevated position on the western fringes of the superb East Devon village of Upottery and is surrounded by its tremendous gardens and grounds which extend to cica 1.6 acres. The driveway leads from the lane to a parking and turning area in front of the detached garage. The oil centrally heated accommodation has an entrance lobby and hall which leads to the bespoke kitchen/breakfast room with granite worktops and matching central island. This opens through to the lovely double aspect sitting room with a newly installed wood burner and leading from this room is a separate double aspect dining room with superb countryside views and an ornamental fireplace. At the western side of the house is a large triple aspect second reception room that leads to a utility room which has the potential to create a self-contained annexe as it also has a further double aspect reception room and a bathroom. Attached to the rear is a lovely, double-glazed conservatory which again enjoys the views across the gardens and beyond. On the first-floor are the four good-sized double bedrooms, both the guest and principal rooms have large en-suite bathrooms and there is also a modern family shower room.
GARDEN & GROUNDS
The delightful gardens and grounds extend around all four sides of the house and are in the main laid to lawn with fantastic countryside views that emanate across the valley towards the village. The garage is located at the front of the property and attached to the rear of it is a useful study/hobbies room with power and light. Located at the rear of the house is a good-sized productive orchard and established fully stocked flower and shrub beds that provide year-round colour and interest. These gardens and grounds measure circa 1 acre and are a real asset to this fine home.
AGENT NOTE
The property has the option to purchase additional land that is located around the curtilage of the gardens and extend to circa 6.63 acres. There are three separate titles: The house, the gardens and the additional land.
