Description

Description

This charming Grade II listed detached cottage is nestled in a tranquil hamlet, approximately 4 miles from the vibrant city of Exeter.

Ideally located for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, it offers easy access to the scenic walks and cycling trails of Haldon Forest. Dating back to the 15th Century, the cottage’s rich history is reflected in the captivating exposed beams found throughout.

Notable features include a beautiful, light-filled conservatory that spans the full width of the cottage and benefits from underfloor heating; a welcoming kitchen/breakfast room with a fitted oil-fired Aga; and a separate dining room graced by a grand Inglenook fireplace. A luxurious sauna room provides a private retreat for relaxation. The property also enjoys superfast BT high-speed optical fibre internet - ideal for working from home.

Outside, a secluded driveway leads to two single garages. The meticulously landscaped, south-facing gardens extend to 0.63 acres and feature a splendid heated swimming pool, perfect for sunny afternoons, as well as a barbecue area with a pizza oven.

A recent highlight includes the re-thatching of the roof in 2022, preserving both the charm and integrity of this historic home.
