Its hard to imagine a prettier setting than being next to an
ancient church, adjacent to farmland and only a mile from the
nearest village with a shop, bus, school and post office. Combine
this with the A30 being less than 3 miles and you have the recipe
for village life without being isolated. Tedburn St Mary is a
popular choice for many buyers, with the community spirit and
infrastructure that is lacking in some villages, its suited to
families, retirees and young professionals.
The cottage itself has been completely renovated by the current
owners to create a wonderful, comfortable home whilst retaining the
character of this charming cottage. Stripped back with new
electrics, plumbing, heating, a new roof, render in and out plus
all the finishing touches, there really is very little for a new
owner to do. With a recent oil central heating boiler and good
insulation, plus the private drainage, the efficiency has certainly
been increased and replacing some of the windows could be done too
it was decided not to replace all of the windows for aesthetics
.
The front porch not only adds character to the house but is a
practical entrance to this country home and is ideal for coats,
boots or even an internal log store. The open plan kitchen dining
room is the heart of the home and provides a social and spacious
room in which to unwind and spend time together. The bifold doors
across the back really extend the usable space once theyre open and
link the patio and dining area. Theres a good size separate living
room, with its wood burner making for a cosy retreat. To complete
the ground floor is a utility room with door to outside and a
ground floor wet room. A door gives access to the stairs to the
first floor with a principal bedroom, which has built in storage
and dual aspect windows. The second bedroom is also a double and
both are served by a luxury bathroom with freestanding bath and a
separate shower.
Part of the attraction of this delightful cottage is the setting
and the outside space. Located by St Marys Church, its a peaceful
location. The access is via the country lane and into a gated
courtyard to the front of the property which provides off road
parking for 2 3 vehicles on a gravel driveway. Theres a very pretty
garden with sleepers retaining a raised seating area, ideal for
summer entertaining. The property borders onto an adjacent field
which is left as sheep grazing when in use. Theres a gate to the
side with bin recycling stores, a lockable garden store and the
rear patio.
In summary, this is a true one off in terms of location, style
and standard and you wont be disappointed.
Agents Note There is a historic access from the adjacent field
which runs through the drive which hasnt been used in many years
but buyers should know of its existence.

Tedburn St Mary is a village located a short
drive from Exeter down the A30 7 miles , and 5 miles across country
from Crediton through winding lanes. Its backdrop is that of high
slopes, rounded hillforms and narrowing valleys. For everyday
necessities there is a traditional village shop and for the kids a
wonderful little primary school. If boredom ever strikes Tedburn
presents a wide array of things to get stuck into, including a
drama group and a football club. Need to practice for the Ryder
Cup? Or just unwind Fingle Glen Golf Hotel is nearby with an 18
hole golf course and luxurious accommodation. For some dramatic
walks, Fingle Bridge is only 6.2 miles away. Here the Teign River
splashes and whirls its way over mossy boulders, through the middle
of a precipitous, wooded gulley on the fringes of Dartmoor. Think
The Lord of the Rings, much of Dartmoor has been inspirational in
the approach to Middle Earth by the famous Lotr concept artist,
Alan Lee.
