House For Sale £325,000
An exciting opportunity to acquire this 2 bedroom semi-detached cottage in an idyllic and peaceful setting on the rural outskirts of Poltimore with striking far reaching views across the adjoining countryside. Privately tucked away in this special location, the only sounds to interrupt the all-encompassing quietude of the area are bird song or the occasional sound from grazing livestock in the adjoining fields. Perfect as a quiet rural retreat or holiday cottage, this is an opportunity not to be missed and early viewings are strongly recommended.
The property is approached by vehicle down a side lane taking you to a large gate at the far end of the garden. This gate opens onto an area of hardstanding providing generous off road parking and access to a sizeable detached garage. A large level garden is laid to lawn and backs onto adjoining farmland. Impressive views extend across open fields and the surrounding countryside extending to distant hillside. An established shrub border lies down the far side of the garden and a brick shed provides secure storage.
An enclosed courtyard provides a sheltered area behind the property with gated access onto the side lane. From here, the courtyard leads onto a small rear garden which lies behind the adjoining property and comes with a variety of specimen shrubs and bushes. The courtyard may offer the potential for a rear extension subject to planning consent.
If the quietude of rural life on the edge of a picturesque village surrounded by National Trust farmland and beautiful Devonshire countryside is what you wish for, then this property will not disappoint. Furthermore you have all the attractions of living as part of a small and friendly community with picturesque country walks on your doorstep.

Location Information
The much sought-after village of Poltimore has a charming church, village hall and popular farm shop. There is an active and friendly community with a neighbourhood watch scheme, a Women's Institute group and the village hall becomes a licensed social club on Tuesdays and Fridays which is run by the villagers themselves. Poltimore is within the catchment area of Stoke Canon primary school and Clyst Vale Community College, both of which have excellent reputations.
The village of Pinhoe (approximately 2 miles distant) has a more comprehensive range of village amenities including a Spar convenience store and railway station (Exeter -Waterloo). Just beyond the village of Pinhoe is the Exeter Business Park at Sowton, the new St Lukes Science and Sports College at Hill Barton the out-of-town Sainsbury's Superstore, Lidl's and Aldi.
The nearby village of Broadclyst provides a further range of village amenities which include a much larger parish church (featuring one of Devon's finest church towers), secondary and primary schools, 2 pubs, restaurant, village hall/social club, hairdressers and a post office. Stoke Canon, a riverside village and the National Trust's Killerton House Estate with its beautiful gardens are both within approximately 2 miles.
