Culmstock, Cullompton

A classic stone cottage, beautifully presented and extended to provide light and spacious living towards the edge of the village, with enviable views and access over river meadows and the meandering River Culm. Option to purchase adjoining paddock of approximately 1.35 acres.

This attractive village property is believed to date back to circa 1900 and in recent years has been refurbished to provide beautifully presented and very comfortable, contemporary accommodation with some classic, late Victorian features retained.

The original reception rooms are open plan with a delightful sitting area of the room having a wood burner set upon a slate hearth, within an original brick lined fireplace, providing a lovely background warmth to the cottage and perfect for winter evenings. Either side of the fireplace, there are useful low level cupboards with shelving above for books and ornaments and attractive pine floor boards extend through to the dining area of the room with further shelved recesses and space for a large dining table and chairs. To one side, under the stairs, there is a useful downstairs cloakroom.

An open doorway and steps lead down to the large kitchen/breakfast room, fitted in a sharp cream and claret colour, with an integrated oven, hob and extractor hood, a dining bar to one side, a dining bar and practical tiled flooring. The far end of the room has been opened up and fitted with a glazed roof and sliding door to the terrace outside providing fantastic light throughout the room.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms on the first floor, both fitted with a range of wardrobes and cupboards and also enjoying lovely views over the surrounding rolling countryside, with the back bedroom with views across the River Culm and river meadows. The family bathroom is fully tiled in dark and light grey and fitted in a contemporary style with a white suite including bath, separate shower cubicle, WC and wash basin.

A space saving, paddle stairway leads from the landing to the first floor suite, which comprises a large bedroom, with 'Velux' windows giving great light, and a small, en suite shower room.

Outside, on approach to the property there is a brick paved parking area leading to the garage, with an electrically operated roller door. This is a very large, versatile space and could be incorporated as further living or annexe space, subject to any relevant consents, but is currently used for storage, including an extensive range of cupboards and a sink unit along one wall. To the rear, a door leads to the garden.

To the rear, the established garden is fully enclosed and enjoys a super outlook over the paddock, river and rolling hills beyond. The paddock, of approximately 1.35 acres and laid to pasture with a wooded area leading down to the River Culm, is available to purchase under separate negotiation.
