Chenson, Chulmleigh, EX18

Number 2 Chenson Cottages is a two bedroom mid terrace stone cottage set in a rural position near Eggesford Forest, with countryside surroundings and easy access to nearby transport links, including Eggesford station just two miles away. This is the first time the property has been on the market for over 70 years and  it’s being sold with no onward chain.

The cottage offers a straightforward layout with a lounge with high ceilings and a stone fireplace with Woodwarm 11kw woodburning stove providing a comfortable focal point & a back boiler that heats the radiators. The two bedrooms are both south facing, one double and one single and both have a lovely outlook over the garden.  The bathroom has a bath, wc & sink.

While the property would benefit from some updating, it provides a solid base for improvement and the opportunity to shape the interior over time.

Outside, the front garden is a particularly strong feature, south-facing and generous in size, offering space for seating, planting or further landscaping. There is also a large garage, greenhouse, storage shed and off-road parking.

Overall, this is a cottage that will suit buyers looking for a rural setting with scope to update and make changes over time, rather than a fully finished home, with the benefit of outside space and good access to the surrounding area. 

Agents Note:  There is a small parcel of land available just up the road by separate negotiation.
