House For Sale £440,000
An opportunity to purchase a charming, Grade II Listed detached cottage, with two bedrooms, parking, a workshop, studio/auxiliary bedroom, and sunny gardens, in the picturesque village of Higher Ashton.
Cobbles and paving lead to the entrance porch of this attractive cottage, beside a gravel parking area with space for two cars, and walled beds of flowers and plants. Inside, it is beautifully presented with fresh, light, and neutral décor throughout and has many wonderful character features including thick, uneven cob and stone walls, low ceilings with exposed beams and original timber lintels above the casement windows. It feels warm and welcoming with oil-fired central heating and a wood-burning stove.
The accommodation comprises of, on the ground floor, an entrance porch, a good-sized kitchen/dining room which has a tiled floor, a fitted kitchen in a traditional farmhouse style, providing ample granite worktop and cupboard storage incorporating an integrated fridge and washing machine and an oil-fired range which provides excellent cooking facilities, the central heating and hot water. There is plenty of space for a table and seating for four or six places, ideal for any occasion. The wonderful living room has natural light from dual-aspect windows and a fully-glazed door to the garden and a large oak beam which spans the room making a lovely feature. There is an under-stairs cupboard, and a fabulous fireplace with a slate-tiled hearth and a huge oak lintel, fitted with a wood burning stove, makes a superb focal point for the room; wonderful with a roaring fire on a dark winter night, when it heats the entire property.
From the kitchen stairs lead up to the first floor which there is the master bedroom, a spacious double with a large, fitted wardrobe providing an abundance of clothes storage, and a casement window in the gable end, perfectly framing the fabulous view over the glorious rolling Devon countryside. The second bedroom is a generous single with views over the front garden. The spacious bathroom is modern, containing a bath, a separate shower, a hidden-cistern WC, a basin, a cupboard for toiletries, a heated towel rail and an airing cupboard containing an insulated hot water cylinder and slatted shelving for linen.
Outside, at the side of the property is a stone-built store, ideal for logs which also has power and space for a tumble drier if required. Across the road there is a detached garage/workshop with a tri-folding door, lights and power, and a staircase rising to a fabulous, converted studio/bedroom that provides auxiliary accommodation, with laminate floor and plenty of natural light from a window in the gable end and a skylight in its vaulted ceiling. Steps lead up from the parking area to a manicured lawn bordered by well-stocked flowerbeds and herbaceous borders. A door from the living room leads out onto a terrace of timber decking beside a healthy, level lawn, that makes a fabulous venue for alfresco dining, a barbecue or sharing a bottle of wine with friends and family; a real sun-trap with superb views over the surrounding countryside. A viewing is essential to fully appreciate all that this charming property has to offer.
