Middle Slewton is conveniently situated close to the heart of this thriving East Devon village with excellent amenities including convenience store, two public houses and a railway station connecting Exeter and London Waterloo. This is an accessible village with a highly regarded primary school and swift access to the Cathedral city of Exeter, M5 and the coast, whilst being surrounded by glorious East Devon countryside.
This substantial detached character cottage enjoys deceptively spacious and highly versatile accommodation which meets the demands of modern living yet boasts many original features; creating a wonderful charming home. The well-proportioned accommodation briefly comprises; reception porch, spacious characterful sitting room with exposed beams, inglenook fireplace, wood burning stove and feature bread oven and a lovely window seat to sit and admire the landscaped gardens. The family room has double doors leading through to a lovely sun room with exposed oak vaulted ceiling connecting to the ground floor bedroom which is a wonderful double room with an en-suite bathroom. This end of the property would lend itself to be adapted as a self-contained annexe for an independent relative if ever required. The kitchen/dining room is another spacious dual aspect room with traditional solid timber cupboards and drawers both at base and eye level providing ample storage and space for a family sized dining table and chairs. There is an Aga style oven and a utility room offers additional storage and appliance space with rustic brick paved floor which demonstrates part of the wonderful original features. There is a cloakroom/WC and an inner hall provides access to the garden and spacious office would lend itself as a formal dining room if ever required.
On the first floor are four good sized bedrooms and the principle rooms have lovely exposed beams and pleasant views. The family bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite and the property also benefits from a modern oil-fired central heating system.
Whimple: The mainline railway station on the London Waterloo-Exeter line is within the village, as are the doctor's surgery, post office, church, bus service, well respected local primary school and heritage centre. There is also a cricket field and two good family pubs. The old A30 runs near the village which gives quick access to the A30 dual carriageway for easy journeys to Honiton, Exeter and the M5. Ottery St Mary is about 3 miles, Exeter 8 miles and the coast at Sidmouth is within a short drive.
The cottage is approached via a sweeping driveway which leads to a substantial parking area allowing plenty of room for several vehicles including boats, caravans etc. There is a large detached double garage and an adjoining barn would lend itself to be converted for additional accommodation if ever required (stp), whilst providing plenty of room for vehicles and general storage.
The beautiful landscaped gardens and grounds extend to almost half an acre and would please any keen gardener, bursting with a variety of specimen plants, shrubs and trees, creating an interesting range of colour throughout the year.
A large expanse of lawn provides plenty of room for children to run and play along with a small orchard area and an attractive large patio area provides plenty of room to enjoy outdoor dining/entertaining in an excellent degree of privacy and seclusion allowing outdoor dining/entertaining to be enjoyed in the summer months.
The wonderful garden must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
