Set on the edge of Aylesbeare village, this Grade II listed four-bedroom cottage combines period character with comfortable family living. Light, neutral interiors reveal a sitting room with inglenook and wood burner, a formal dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, utility and a flexible ground-floor office that can serve as a bedroom. Three double bedrooms and a family bathroom sit upstairs.
The large, private gardens and grounds extend to over a quarter acre, with lawns, orchards, mature planting, substantial outbuildings, an aviary and hard-standing parking for several vehicles — space for boats or caravans. The property has been well maintained and presented, making it ready to occupy while offering scope for sympathetic updating where desired.
Practical points to note: the house is Grade II listed, so alterations will require listed-building consent and may restrict changes. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators; gas is not connected. Windows have secondary glazing. Council tax is band E. These are factual considerations for budgeting and longer-term running costs.
This home will suit families or those seeking a peaceful village base with generous outside space and flexible accommodation. It offers character, seclusion and good access to Exeter, the M5 and nearby schools, but buyers should allow for listing constraints and the ongoing costs of oil heating and older construction fabrics.
