Description
Refurbished character cottage set in 2.87 acres with stables. Edge of village with direct access to outriding.
Situation - Occupying a peaceful position on the edge of the hamlet of Higher Metcombe, just outside the sought-after village of West Hill, this charming property enjoys direct outriding along quiet, unmetalled roads and tracks. While delightfully tranquil, it is by no means remote, with the Regency town of Sidmouth and the vibrant city of Exeter both within easy reach.
Description - This delightful character cottage, built of cob and brick, has been sympathetically extended and improved over the years by the current owner, including the renewal of many of the windows and a thatched roof. A particular highlight of the accommodation is the impressive open-plan kitchen/living space, where bi-fold doors frame picturesque views over the garden towards the stables and land. The well-presented and adaptable layout offers both ground and first-floor bedrooms, as illustrated in the floor plan.
Outside - To the front, there is ample parking in front of the double garage, with a cottage garden laid to lawn leading to a timber gate, which provides access to the stable yard and paddock. The stable yard, which can also be accessed via the track, comprises two stables and a generously sized store, constructed predominantly of timber, and enjoys an outlook over the adjoining, sheltered paddock.
Services - The property is connected to mains drainage, electricity and water. Oil Fired Central Heating. Broadband up to 25 Mbps with mobile signal outdoors with EE, Vodafone, Three and O2 (Ofcom)
