House For Sale £395,000
A rare opportunity to purchase a delightful, detached stone cottage offering bright and roomy accommodation with three double bedrooms, ideally located close to the town centre and train station which goes straight to London or Exeter St Davids and just a walk away from the very sought after High school. There are also three primary schools in the town. The property benefits from off road parking and has a south facing sunny garden. The cottage is located at the top of the high street and is a short walk to the leisure centre and supermarkets, as well as doctor and dentist surgeries, a good choice of hairdressers, entertainment venues and various takeaway outlets. This charming property dates to the 1830s, home of the local bakers from many years and has been the much cherished and enjoyed home to our seller for the last eight years. During this time it has been well maintained, benefitting from external landscaping, a new shower, updated heating and has wholly owned solar panels that provide hot water. The property also benefits from uPVC double glazing. This delightful cottage has high ceilings, some exposed floorboards. The windows in the sitting room have deep sills, ideal for window seats.
There is also a wood burner in the sitting room. The cottage provides homely and comfortable accommodation with scope to change to one's own design and taste, as and when required. A viewing is truly essential to appreciate the ambiance of the cottage as well as the accommodation and location. An early viewing is strongly urged to avoid missing out on the chance to be the next owner.
