A classic, detached, period property in a popular rural village location, yet within easy reach of the local town's amenities and quick access to Exeter, the motorway and Tiverton Parkway Station, ideal for commuting.

The original Store Cottage dates back to the 1800's and in more recent years, our clients have extended the cottage significantly, adding a large kitchen/breakfast room and second sitting room. The kitchen is fitted in a classic Shaker style, with extensive cupboard storage and work surface, a cooking range, with extractor canopy over, and space for appliances. Underfloor heating completes this room, and this has also been installed in the hallway, downstairs shower room and en suite shower room, with all of these areas heated by individually controlled electric mats.

The sitting/dining room has attractive original features, including beams and ceiling joists, a stone fireplace with wood burner, and a most unique, oak window with lattice panes, which is believed to have originated from a historic naval ship. The second sitting room is decorated in a warm, red colour and is the perfect place to relax quietly.

Also downstairs, there is a useful study and adjoining this, a uPVC double glazed garden room, overlooking the pond and rear garden.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms with the principal suite a good size, with a large bedroom, adjoining dressing area, with fitted wardrobes, and an en suite shower room, fitted in a contemporary style with a large shower cubicle. The main bathroom is fitted with a white suite and has a feature, stained glass window.

On approach to Store Cottage, there is an open fronted garage with steps beside, leading to the raised, paved forecourt and front door. To the rear, and accessed through the cottage, there is an established garden, principally laid to lawn with a large fish pond, flower and shrub beds and borders, a vegetable garden with small poly-greenhouse and sheds. The garden enjoys a southerly, sunny aspect.
