Bright, well-presented two-bedroom period cottage in the sought-after village of Ide, offering characterful living with low-maintenance outside space. The property is arranged over two floors with a sitting room featuring a wood burner, a separate dining room, galley kitchen and two double bedrooms above. The rear paved patio garden wraps around the back and provides a private spot for outdoor dining and potted planting.
This is an attractive option for a first-time buyer seeking a turnkey village home or a downsizer wanting compact, easy-care accommodation within easy reach of Exeter. Practical updates include double glazing and a Worcester Greenstar combi boiler installed August 2019, while fast broadband and very low local crime support comfortable everyday living.
Important considerations: the house sits in a conservation area and is a solid-brick terrace likely without cavity wall insulation; walls are assumed uninsulated. The plot is small and room ceilings are low to medium, so space is compact compared with newer builds. The location has a high flooding risk — buyers should obtain flood-insurance and local flood-history information before purchase.
