A 300-year-old cob and stone cottage that blends period character with practical updates. The house retains exposed beams, an inglenook-style fireplace and original features, while benefiting from a modern kitchen, uPVC double glazing and oil-fired central heating. The accommodation is well presented and arranged over two floors, offering three bedrooms and a traditional first-floor bathroom.
The living spaces suit family life and relaxed entertaining: a generous sitting room with wood-burning stove, a separate dining room and a kitchen/breakfast room with breakfast bar. Outside is a low-maintenance enclosed paved courtyard with rear pedestrian access and useful timber stores — a compact, secure outdoor area rather than a large garden.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired which may be more costly than mains gas, and there is only one bathroom for three bedrooms. The property sits in a hamlet location with good access to Exeter and major roads, fast broadband, low crime and good local schools, making it convenient for commuting or village lifestyle. Flood risk is recorded as medium; buyers should check current Environment Agency advice and consider appropriate insurance and any mitigation needs.
Overall this is a characterful, well-presented end-terrace cottage that will appeal to families or anyone seeking village living near Exeter. Expect modest square footage and a small plot, but strong period charm and practical modern comforts throughout.
