A delightful, modernised and surprisingly spacious period cottage set within a pleasant edge of a village setting. No onward chain.
The cottage is one of a terrace of individual houses on the outskirts of this popular village. This charming home offers light and well- proportioned rooms which combine all modern comforts with a range of attractive period features.
The front door opens onto a useful porch with slate flooring, coat hooks and power points. This leads into the delightful double-aspect kitchen/dining room with further slate flooring and a modern fitted kitchen featuring cream-coloured units and solid timber worktops with tiled splashbacks and incorporating a ceramic sink unit. There is a 5-burner range cooker with an extractor hood above, an integrated fridge, and plumbing for a dishwasher. The dining area features two bright windows and a most attractive brick fireplace with a solid timber mantle. From the kitchen area, a passage gives access to the spacious living room with a large and sunny picture window, beamed ceiling, and impressive brick fireplace with a wood burner. Part-glazed doors lead into the rear lobby (which can also be reached via the kitchen) featuring slate flooring, doors to the rear garden, and to a downstairs cloakroom which also houses the central heating boiler. Upstairs is a spacious landing which includes a sitting area beneath a window overlooking a paddock to the rear, access hatches to the loft, and a very large walk-in cupboard with a frosted window and a radiator. There are 3 good-sized bedrooms with pleasant views and a large shower room (with space for a bath if required) with a double-width walk-in shower, wash basin, wc, tiled flooring, and a heated towel rail.
The cottage benefits from calor gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and there are plenty of tv and phone points.
The outsideThe cottage is set back from the lane behind a gravel driveway with shrubs and a timber shed (with an electric feed) and which provides good off-road parking space which could be extended if needed. A gate set into a low-level wall leads to a level lawn and patio with lighting and a tap.
To the rear is an enclosed patio garden overlooking a paddock, which includes a useful timber shed, power, lighting, and a tap. We understand that there is side access across the rear of the neighbouring cottage to access the lane and a similar right of way in favour of the neighbouring cottage to cross the garden.
DirectionsApproach Talaton from the old A30 past Escot House. Cross the railway line and before the village turn left (signposted Whimple). The cottage will be found after a short distance on the right.
