Situated just off the A377 between Crediton and Copplestone is
the small hamlet of Knowle, known for its easy access and pretty
houses, its a popular destination for many for being full of
character without being isolated down miles of county lanes.
Butterchurn Cottage is set back from the road in its own gardens
and borders farmland to the rear. Its a real one off. While its
only 2 bedrooms, the master bedroom could be sub divided to create
a 3rd but for the right buyers, the large first floor bedroom with
the ensuite would work well. The house is Grade II listed and has
mains services including water, electric, broadband and gas plus a
modern treatment plant for the waste. Built of cob with a thatched
roof, its typical of a traditional Devon home.
The layout of the property makes the most of the larger ground
floor space on offer with a useful entrance porch leading into the
main living space, a large room with a stunning inglenook fireplace
that is the focus of the room. Theres plenty of room for sofas and
table and chairs for flexibility in the layout. Theres a kitchen
across the rear which is well fitted and theres a door to the
garden. The second bedroom is also on the ground floor with an
additional walk in store study area. To complete the ground floor
is a utility room and WC. On the first floor is the main bedroom, a
great room with plenty of space and from here, there is a door to
the ensuite. Its worth noting that a corridor could be installed to
separate the bedroom from the bathroom should it be preferred stp
.
Outside, from the road, access is gained via electric gates
which add to the privacy and security of the property. Theres off
road parking for 3 4 vehicles and an outbuilding former garage
which is now a store and home office studio, ideal for working from
home with power and light. The gardens are multi level with various
seating areas, ponds and well stocked beds with an abundance of
plants and shrubs.
Agents Note There is a track with access to the adjoining field
which runs between the house and outbuilding. Although not often
used, it isnt part of the ownership of Butterchurn Cottage.

COPPLESTONEis a 5 minute drive west of Crediton
on the A377, a main route into the City of Exeter. A stones throw
to the southwest is Dartmoor National Park, renowned for its
invigorating walks and sublime scenery. Previously a traditional
farming hamlet, Copplestone has grown over the years, and now
offers a fantastic selection of new build, fully modern homes.
This, coupled with its own primary school and locality to Queen
Elizabeths Community College in Crediton, makes it perfect for
families moving to Devon. The village has a strong camaraderie
between residents, with a local church holding many events. There
is a 3m carved granite cross, found in the village centre of Saxon
origin and steeped in mythology. There is also a shop post office
for convenience, and regular transport links bus and train towards
Exeter, North Devon and Okehampton.
