House For Sale £650,000
What an absolute gem! Pendennis House has been lovingly restored with real passion and empathy for this fascinating period house, believed to date from 1510. Over the last sixteen years the present owners have slowly brought this Grade II listed house right up to date, whilst highlighting the immense charm and history of the building. Gas fired underfloor central heating and contemporary bathrooms and kitchen combine seamlessly to produce a wonderfully practical period home. The outside continues to delight with its glorious walled garden for entertaining, with a further section beyond, providing extensive kitchen garden and modern substantial outbuilding, with its own vehicular access. An interior inspection is absolutely vital to appreciate all that this unique home has to offer.
The house is located within a short walk of the Post Office Stores and Duchy primary school with frequent bus service to Exeter and Cullompton with its range of High Street Shops and Supermarkets. Cullompton also offers secondary schooling, two doctors surgeries, library and sports centre. The surrounding countryside offers a wealth of rural pursuits with the nearby Blackdown Hills being designated as an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The thriving Cathedral City of Exeter lies about 20 minutes to the south with its extensive High Street Shops, Princesshay Shopping Mall and many leisure pursuits. The comparatively central Mid Devon location places the spectacular National Parks of Dartmoor and Exmoor together with the north and south Devon coastlines all within a modest car journey.
