A quintessential double fronted cottage, tucked away in a quiet spot in the heart of Silverton. This three bedroom home has been recently renovated, extended and elegantly finished inside and out, blending many charming character features with chic modern additions.

THE LAYOUT

Standing at the end of the winding path that leads through a colourful, flower filled garden to the front door, it s impossible not to admire the beauty and prettiness of this cottage. The door sits centrally and opens into a separated porch area, and then on into the sitting room that bathes in the morning sun. Solid wood flooring runs underfoot and a generous inglenook fireplace, housing a woodburner, anchors the space a perfect setting for quiet cosy evenings.

To the rear, down a couple of steps, the kitchen has been thoughtfully extended, creating a light filled space for cooking, dining and general entertaining. Tiled flooring complements the room s practical function, while glazed doors open directly onto the garden, offering a seamless connection to the outdoors. Just off the kitchen lies a compact utility area and a convenient downstairs WC.

Upstairs is home to three serene bedrooms and a beautifully appointed bathroom. The main bedroom is a particularly characterful space, its pitched ceiling lending a sense of volume, while an exposed brick feature wall and exposed beams bringing warmth and texture. Built in wardrobes are neatly integrated, offering ample storage without compromising the room s calm simplicity. The second bedroom enjoys a dual aspect, with windows on two sides allowing light to pour in throughout the day and bedroom three is a comfortable single perfect cot room benefitting also from built in storage over the stairs. The bathroom is thoughtfully designed, with both a separate bath and a walk in shower, combining comfort with quiet elegance.

OUTSIDE

The front garden is an oasis of horticultural splendour and also provides a small designated space, ideal for a bistro table and chairs, to soak up the early morning sun. The rear garden is gently tiered, with a patio providing the al fresco dining space set off the rear kitchen doors. Steps leading down from here take you down a gravel pathway, past a lawned area to a second seating area, as well as a generous garden shed and more flower veggie beds. Gates at the foot of the garden allow pedestrian access off Applemede, the road running behind.

THE AREA

Silverton is located on the commuter friendly side of Exeter as well as being handily located for access to Exeter airport and both Exeter St. David s and Tiverton Parkway train stations and is thought to be one of the oldest villages in Devon. It continues to be an extremely sought after village as it provides the fantastic combination of the village lifestyle whilst also being well connected to the city of Exeter. Amenities in the village itself are exceptional, with a brilliant Doctor s surgery, convenience store, post office, primary school and two pubs.
