Set in a quiet rural spot between Sidmouth and Ottery St Mary, this three-bedroom semi-detached cottage sits with attractive views over the Otter Valley. The ground floor offers a fitted kitchen with dining area and a cosy sitting room with a gas fireplace; upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Main utilities include mains gas central heating, mains drainage and electricity, and double glazing already installed.
Outside the plot includes a large garage with potential for conversion to extra accommodation or a laundry/utility, parking to the front, a side kitchen garden and a rear lawned garden. The plot is generous for the cottage type and its outlook toward rolling countryside is a principal selling point for buyers seeking a rural lifestyle within easy reach of local shops, schools and the A30 to Exeter.
Practical points to note: broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is good. The property is freehold with vacant possession expected on completion (anticipated Feb/March 2026). Buyers should check flood reports: dataset notes include both a low-probability statement in the sale text and a high flood-risk flag in the summary data—obtain up-to-date local flood and insurance advice before committing.
This cottage will suit buyers looking for a countryside home with scope to update and personalise, or those wanting a small rural base with easy access to Sidmouth and Exeter. While well-located and characterful, the house will benefit from typical mid‑late 20th century modernisation and faster broadband installation if remote working is required.
