Set in the centre of a popular Devon village, this period semi-detached cottage blends original character with contemporary living. Exposed timbers, attractive fireplaces and a wood-burning stove give the principal reception rooms real charm, while the kitchen looks out over a private, south-facing garden that catches the sun for much of the day.
A standout feature is the architect-designed detached annexe/studio with vaulted ceilings and generous natural light — ideal as a home office, guest suite or creative studio. Practical living is supported by a ground-floor utility and cloakroom, off-street gated parking and a useful storage outbuilding.
The first floor provides three bedrooms and a modern family bathroom with both bath and separate walk-in shower. Note the property sits on a relatively small plot and has only one main bathroom serving three bedrooms. Walls are likely solid stone with no built-in insulation (assumed), which may affect running costs and could benefit from sympathetic upgrading.
Connectivity is village-typical: mobile signal is average and broadband speeds are slow. The location is a major draw for families and those seeking village life — local amenities include primary schooling, a surgery, shops and pubs, plus excellent access to Exeter and the M5.
