Enjoy village life in this spacious family accommodation with five bedrooms, a short step from the primary school and centre of the popular village of Kentisbeare. Quick access to Exeter, Honiton and rail links, ideal for commuting.

Wisteria Cottage is a classic period property, lying towards the edge of the village, with quiet country lane and footpath walks from the doorstep. The house is believed to have been built in the mid 1800's and retains its charm with large reception rooms either side of the entrance hall, original doors, beams and classic wood features, as well as some more recently installed oak flooring. The comfort and cosy atmosphere, with oil fired central heating, is enhanced by the wood burner in the sitting room and the oil fired Rayburn in the dining room, providing a lovely background warmth and ideal for slow cooking winter stews and rice puddings!

The kitchen has a wonderful walk-in pantry for stores to one side and the window overlooks the rear garden, with a glazed door giving access. The kitchen units have been well used over the years and are dated, perhaps giving a great opportunity to extend or move the kitchen into the neighbouring dining room. This large room currently houses the sizeable family dining table and is great for entertaining.

Adjoining the sitting room, there is a handy playroom, also giving access to the sun room and current home office, which requires refurbishment with remedial work. From the entrance hallway, there is a very useful downstairs shower room, saving a queue for the bathroom before work and school in the morning.

Upstairs, there are five bedrooms, with scope for one to be used as a home office if required, and the family bathroom, fitted with a Victorian style white suite with a freestanding, claw foot bath. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious and there are two small doubles and two single rooms.

On approach, there is parking on the village lane to the front of Wisteria Cottage. A lane to the right gives access via a side gate to the rear garden, which is principally lawn with some established shrubs and trees and ideal for children to play. From the kitchen, there is a paved patio, ideal for summer barbecues and entertaining and to one side, there are brick built stores and a larger shed or workshop, currently used as a gym. There is a pleasant outlook over the River Ken from the end of the garden.
