The Cathedral City of Exeter with M5 junction is approximately 20 minutes drive to the west and the coastal town of Sidmouth 10 minutes drive to the south.
Description - Believed to date back to the 17th Century, this attractive cottage offers a wealth of period features including an inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and deep-set windows. The property enjoys a central village location and provides well-balanced accommodation across two floors.
A part-glazed front door leads into a useful entrance porch, opening into a generous living room with ceiling beams, a substantial inglenook fireplace and French doors leading to the rear garden.
