"A charming 3 bedroom cottage close to a popular Devon village with beautiful rural views

Situation This charming semi detached cottage is situated in a rural spot within a mile of the popular Mid Devon village of Spreyton. This has a thriving community with a well regarded primary school, village hall, sports field, parish church and an award winning pub, The Tom Cobley. Although in a rural location, the property is only 2.9 miles from the A30 dual carriageway leading west towards Okehampton and Cornwall, and east to the university and cathedral city of Exeter, which also connects beyond to the M5 motorway. In Exeter there is a wide range of facilities befitting a centre of its importance including excellent dining, shopping, theatre, educational and cultural amenities. The towns of Okehampton and Crediton, both within 12.5 miles, provide a wide range of day to day facilities.

Of rendered stone and cob walls beneath a slate tiled roof, the property has a wealth of character features including much exposed ceiling timbers and a feature granite fireplace.
A timber clad entrance lobby with glazed oak front door leads to an inner hallway with oak floor leading to the principal reception rooms. The modern kitchen dining room is dual aspect with floor mounted units, a central island with breakfast bar and an electric Aga. A door from the kitchen leads to the former entrance hallway which is used by the current owners as a playroom snug and has a door leading to the front gardens.
