Description
What an absolute delight is this superb Grade II Listed semi detached period cottage, nestling in a rural, yet highly accessible setting in the tiny hamlet of Kentismoor about half a mile from the village of Kentisbeare. One of just four period properties believed to have been renovated and updated in the early 1970’s with No. 4 having been extended at the time to create the largest of the four homes. This thatched cottage exhibits the thick walls, beams and inglenook fireplace, characteristic of its ancient origins, while now benefitting from modern oil fired central heating and double glazed windows. This family home provides two reception rooms and a family kitchen/breakfast room with Rayburn on the ground floor, combined with four bedrooms and family shower room on the first floor. The garden and grounds are a real feature, comprising cottage gardens adjoining the house with multi-vehicle parking and a double garage, with a gate leading to a further area of grassed paddock/orchard with fruit trees. The bridleway/footpath passes near the cottage, facilitating access to the extensive network of Parish footpaths ideal for family and dog walking. An early inspection of this charming country home is strongly recommended.
Situation And Amenities
Enjoying a wonderful tucked away rural setting in the tiny hamlet of Kentismoor, about half a mile from Kentisbeare Village with its Post Office stores, thriving primary school, Wyndham Arms Public House, Parish Church and modern village hall. Kentisbeare also boasts thriving football and cricket clubs, both with successful junior sections. A more extensive range of facilities is to be found in the nearby country town of Cullompton with its High Street shops including award winning Veysey Butchers and Bakehouse Coffee Shop/Bistro, together with Tesco and Aldi Supermarkets. Cullompton also boasts a modern library and state of the art community centre, together with sports centre and M5 intersection facilitating rapid commuting south to the cathedral city of Exeter and north to the county town of Taunton. Kentisbeare lies at the foot of the Blackdown Hills, an area designated as being of outstanding natural beauty. The comparatively central Mid Devon location places the picturesque national parks of Dartmoor and Exmoor together with the north and south Devon coastlines all within a modest car journey.
