Just a short distance from the historic city of Exeter, the charming village of Thorverton is nestled in the heart of Mid Devon. This ancient village boasts a vibrant community and a diverse range of homes from different periods. Highly sought after, Thorverton offers a primary school, church, two pubs, a post office, a local farm shop with a café, and a picturesque cricket ground.

Exeter and Tiverton also feature excellent private schools, including Exeter School and Blundells. It's in a central location within the village and there’s parking available on the street very close by.

Upon entering this lovely cottage, you’re welcomed into a small porch, ideal for storing coats and shoes, before stepping into the heart of the home. The spacious living and dining room has plenty of character and features modern sash windows that fill the room with light. There is a log burner in some of the photos which has since been removed but one could be reinstated by a new owner. The  striking wrought iron spiral staircase leads to the first floor. The modern kitchen is thoughtfully designed with grey fronted units, solid wood tops and an integrated fridge/freezer, a built-in oven with hob and extractor, plus plumbing for a washing machine. A window overlooks the peaceful courtyard garden, adding to the kitchen's appeal. Upstairs, the first-floor landing gives access to the two double bedrooms, which are both generously sized, with sash windows to the front. The main family bathroom has been finished with a modern white suite, including a shower cubicle, panelled bath, wash basin, and low-level WC.

Outside, the property benefits from a private south-west facing courtyard, perfect for outdoor dining or simply soaking up the sunshine. The space is mostly paved and easily accessible through a side door that leads to the lane adjacent to the property, adding access to the garden without going through the house. There is no allocated parking with the cottage but there is unrestricted parking on The Bury and surrounding roads.
