For families, the property falls within the catchment area of the sought-after Uffculme School. The location offers excellent transport links, being only 5-10 minutes from the M5 and 20 minutes from Exeter Airport.

Description - Wisteria Cottage is a characterful semi-detached house that has been lovingly improved by its current owners. The property spans nearly 2000 sq ft and includes five bedrooms, offering ample space for a growing family. The interior combines modern updates with period features, such as a Rayburn in the dining room and a woodburner in the sitting room. The ground floor provides flexible living spaces, including a conservatory, study/playroom, and a spacious kitchen with an adjacent utility room. Outside, the well-maintained garden offers both lawn and patio areas, with additional outbuildings for storage. The garden backs onto the tranquil River Ken, providing a picturesque and serene backdrop.
Accommodation - Upon entering Wisteria Cottage, you are greeted by a spacious hallway featuring modern flooring. Directly ahead is a convenient ground floor shower room and WC. To the left, the sitting room offers a cozy atmosphere with its charming woodburner and opens into the versatile study/playroom. From here, doors lead to the conservatory, which overlooks the garden. On the opposite side of the hallway, the large dining room is the heart of the home, featuring a Rayburn that provides warmth and character. The dining room leads into a well-equipped kitchen with doors that open to the outside and an adjacent utility room for added convenience.
Upstairs, the first floor comprises five bedrooms, each accessed from the corridor landing. The master bedroom is spacious and light-filled, with views over the garden and river beyond. The additional bedrooms offer ample space for family members or guests. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the first floor, featuring modern fixtures and fittings.
Outside - The exterior of Wisteria Cottage is just as impressive as the interior. The garden is a blend of lawn and patio areas, perfect for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. The property includes a detached outbuilding, ideal for use as a workshop or additional storage, as well as two smaller outbuildings. The garden's highlight is its direct access to the River Ken, providing a stunning and serene backdrop. Mature trees and shrubs add to the sense of privacy and seclusion, making this garden a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
