Rectory Close, Whimple

Tucked away at the end of a quiet residential cul-de-sac, with an enchanting ‘secret’ corner plot garden, and within walking distance of the village centre.

This delightful house is being offered for sale for the first time since it was built in the 1970s. During that time it has been a much-loved family home, and it now offers a new owner tremendous potential to update and perhaps even extend. The house is tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac which is within an easy walk of the village centre and the Primary School. It occupies a delightful and secluded corner plot so that the gardens extend to both the side and the rear of the house.

The accommodation comprises a useful hallway with a glazed shelf, a bright dual-aspect living room with a feature fireplace and patio doors directly into the garden. The kitchen also has a view and a door to the garden, and features a sink unit, matching base and wall cupboards, and a useful larder cupboard. Upstairs there is a large airing cupboard on the landing and there are 3 very good-sized bedrooms, a spacious family bathroom and a separate WC.

The charming gardens face south and west and, with a ‘secret garden’ ambience, they comprise delightful winding pathways which plot their way through borders stocked with a rich variety of established trees, plants and shrubs. There is an area of level lawn and a patio with outside lighting. A discreet gate provides access to the front where there is a further area of garden and a drive which provides a parking space in front of the garage (which may have the potential to be converted into additional living accommodation subject to the necessary planning permission).

The windows are uPVC double-glazed (with the exception of the patio doors, which are of aluminium).
