Exton is a charming village with an active community and is ideally located to take advantage of the wonderful walking and riding opportunities on Exmoor.

Dulverton, 6 miles away, has a strong community and provides good day to day shopping together with three churches, a post office, chemist, medical centre, dental and vet surgeries and a well equipped town hall.

Description - Church Cottage is a charming 4 bedroom period cottage which sits in an incredibly peaceful village location with views over the church and countryside beyond. Dating back to the 1800s the cottage has been extended over the years and is now in need of refurbishment, providing an exciting opportunity to create a spacious country cottage with character features including inglenook fireplaces and exposed beams and two bread ovens. The cottage also benefits from a very private lawned garden that backs on to open fields and a parking space.

Accomodation - Church Cottage is accessed by the front door, which leads into a spacious hallway. Off from the hallway is the very useful converted garage/workshop and also a large light filled room that would be well suited to a second sitting room or large study. Leading on from the hallway is the large farmhouse style kitchen/dining room with views over the church, exposed beams and a large inglenook fireplace with log burner. Leading on from the kitchen is the generous sitting room, also with views over the church and featuring a large inglenook fireplace with log burner. From here there is a door that leads to the back entrance porch, which in turn leads out the parking at the side of the cottage.

Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and a good sized single bedroom and a family bathroom. The second bedroom has a large walk in cupboard that could be converted to an ensuite shower room. Off the main landing, there is a further landing, which leads to very large light filled room with kitchenette at one end, a conservatory that leads directly to the garden and a double bedroom and bathroom. This could easily be a self contained annexe or, equally, be incorporated into the main house as perhaps a large master suite.

Outside - Church Cottage benefits from a good sized lawned garden at the back of the property, that borders the sheep fields beyond. There is a path from the garden that leads down the side of the house and to the parking
