Description
The Old Smithy is a spacious individual Grade II listed detached cottage situated in the heart of the popular village of Poltimore, approximately 5 miles northeast of Exeter. Dating back to the 17th century with 19th century additions, the original part of the cottage is thatched with the more recent section under a slate roof.
The well-presented accommodation is 1735 sqft with spacious rooms providing a wealth of charm and character including exposed beams, a 20ft sitting room with wood flooring, a dual aspect drawing room with an attractive fireplace and double doors opening onto the gardens. There is a generous sized office also enjoying views of the gardens with a wood burner whilst the kitchen has a range of units, flagstone flooring, an electric Aga and integrated dishwasher and fridge. There is also a separate utility, ground floor WC and shower room. A feature of the property is the fabulous, light 25ft dining/family room, a great entertaining open plan space with sliding doors opening onto the gardens. Two staircases give access to the five double bedrooms and two first floor bathrooms.
Outside a five-bar gate to the side of the property gives access to a brick paved drive providing off road parking in front of a 35ft barn/garage, ideal for a car or storage. There is also an adjoining storeroom with power and light.
The delightful south westerly facing gardens are mainly laid to lawn with a large private patio ideal for dining out and well stocked colourful flower and shrub borders and a large potting shed.
Situation
The village of Poltimore is approximately 5 miles east of the Cathedral City of Exeter with its wide range of shopping and leisure facilities, schools and University. Poltimore has a wonderful community with a village hall, farm shop and church. We understand that the village hall doubles as a licensed social club every Tuesday and Friday, which is run by the villagers themselves. The nearby village of Broadclyst is home to two pubs, a restaurant, post office, doctor's surgery and hairdressers whilst Clyst Vale Community College and Broadclyst Primary School are close by.
