Characterful 3-bed cottage with large garden and countryside views.
Three double bedrooms with character features and countryside views
Nettacott Cottage is a characterful, three-bedroom detached slate-roofed cottage set in peaceful Upton Pyne countryside. Light neutral décor sits alongside original features — exposed beams, thick stone walls, a wood burner with traditional bread oven and a classic AGA — creating a warm, lived-in family home with rustic charm. The kitchen/diner and conservatory are bright, practical spaces for everyday life and entertaining.
Outside offers a large, thoughtfully planted rear garden with mature trees, fruit bushes, roses and attractive countryside views. Two versatile garden rooms (office and storage), a storage shed, kennel and chicken coop add practical versatility for hobbies or home working. Off-street parking is generous, with automatic lighting on the drive and a small garage; solar PV panels reduce running costs.
Practical points to note: broadband speeds in the area are very slow, the property uses oil central heating and a septic tank system (garage currently stores the digestate). Council Tax is Band E. These are manageable but important considerations for modern connectivity and ongoing maintenance.
This house will suit families or buyers seeking a character-rich country home with flexible outbuildings, substantial outdoor space and good links to Exeter (around 15 minutes to St David’s station). It rewards buyers who value period character and rural tranquillity while accepting some running costs and local service limitations.
