Wilmington, East Devon, EX14

Fidgetts Rest is a characterful three-bedroom detached cottage offering generous accommodation, established gardens and an excellent opportunity to create a home to suit your own style. Formerly two cottages, the property combines attractive period features with a flexible layout, making it well suited to buyers looking for space, practicality and scope to personalise.

Set within a plot of approximately 0.27 acres, this well-maintained flintstone home is presented in good condition, allowing buyers to move in and enjoy it while updating the décor and finishes over time. Ample driveway parking and a large double garage/workshop add to its appeal.

The ground floor provides plenty of room for everyday family life, entertaining and working from home. A generous dual-aspect living/dining room features a double-sided wood-burning stove, while a separate sitting room with an inglenook fireplace and further wood-burning stove offers a comfortable retreat.

A dedicated study provides useful space for home working or hobbies. The large breakfast kitchen includes ample storage, generous work surfaces and an oil-fired Rayburn, with an adjoining utility room providing additional practical space.

Two staircases serve the first floor, adding flexibility to the layout. There are three double bedrooms, two with en-suite shower rooms, while the third has Jack and Jill access to the main family bathroom.

Double glazing throughout and oil-fired central heating complement the property's period character.

Approached via a concrete track, the property has a spacious driveway with ample parking and access to the large double garage/workshop, ideal for vehicles, storage or workshop use.

The front garden is laid to lawn with mature hedge borders. To the rear, a paved terrace provides space for outdoor dining, with an extensive lawn, established flower and shrub borders, and a gravelled growing area with raised beds. A greenhouse, timber shed, wood store and chicken run offer further options for gardening and outdoor interests.

The substantial plot provides plenty of space to enjoy as it stands, together with the opportunity to adapt the garden to your own needs.
