New Estate, Newton St. Cyres, Exeter, Devon, EX5

Occupying an elevated position within the sought-after village of Newton St Cyres, this unique former Railway Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile multi-generational home, complemented by a fully self-contained annexe and exceptionally generous gardens. The property enjoys superb views across the surrounding Devon countryside, both to the front and rear, and is ideally placed for village amenities and excellent transport links to both Crediton and Exeter.

Newton St Cyres is a particularly attractive village, well regarded for its primary school and popular local amenities, including The Beer Engine, renowned for its excellent food, and the Italian restaurant Belluno. The village also benefits from convenient road and rail connections, making it a popular choice for those commuting to Exeter or Crediton.

The main house is bright and inviting, with well-presented accommodation arranged over two floors. The spacious sitting room enjoys views across the garden and features a multi-fuel stove. The kitchen/dining room is fitted with an array of matching units and benefits from a useful pantry cupboard, understairs storage and a small store room, currently used for log storage. There are two bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom with a bath and electric shower over.

Attached to the main house is a stylish, self-contained annexe, providing excellent additional accommodation for dependent relatives, older children or guests. The annexe has its own well-appointed kitchen and a charming sitting room featuring a multi-fuel stove and sliding patio doors opening onto a terrace. Stairs rise to the first floor where there is a generous bedroom with fitted cupboards and a shower room. Like the main house, the annexe enjoys wonderful views across the surrounding countryside.

A particular feature of these former Railway Cottages is the unusually generous gardens. Originally created to provide railway workers with sufficient outdoor space to grow their own produce, the gardens extend to approximately 100 feet and offer considerable scope for keen gardeners and those seeking a more self-sufficient lifestyle. The grounds are currently arranged with large areas of lawn, established fruit trees, a productive vegetable garden, greenhouse and log store, all enjoying a lovely rural outlook.

To the front of the property is a parking area providing space for two cars.
