This spacious five-bedroom semi-detached cottage in Whimple blends period character with practical family living. Extended over time, it offers multiple reception rooms, a bespoke kitchen with direct access to a south-facing garden, and adaptable ground-floor accommodation suitable for guests or hobbies. The detached garage and parking for up to four cars add genuine convenience for family life or working from home.
The house has clear strengths: a large, private south-facing garden, an outbuilding currently used as an office, and good local amenities including a ‘Good’ rated primary school. The home sits in a very affluent, low-crime area on a decent plot, and benefits from double glazing and a recently built detached garage (circa 15 years old).
Important considerations are candidly stated: the property sits in a high flood-risk zone, heating runs from an oil-fired boiler (higher running costs and fuel logistics), and parts of the interior such as the rustic kitchen look dated and would benefit from updating. The house dates from around 1900 so buyers should allow for period maintenance and potential ongoing upkeep costs. Tenure is freehold and council tax banding is described as affordable.
Overall, this is a flexible, characterful family home in a desirable village location. It will suit buyers seeking space, garden privacy and a versatile layout who are comfortable managing flood-risk mitigation and some modernization work.
