Description

"

In the listing the house is stated to be C1800 but research suggests that it may significantly pre date this. Hare Cottage receives its name from the original life of the property as an Inn The Hare and Hounds . Converted in 1984 into a dwelling, and with subsequent improvements including those by the current owners see later , it is a large yet comfortable family home in a quiet Mid Devon village. One of the most notable factors of the house is that it balances the inside and outside space well with plenty of room to enjoy, plus the rare addition for a property of this type of ample parking and a garage.

The house is link detached but to all intents and purposes it feels private and more like a detached home. Internally, the house is still full of character as one would expect. There s nooks and niches, fireplaces with bread ovens, exposed timbers and even an original bible cupboard. Care has been taken to ensure the history of the house has been respected during a series of improvements by the current owners and a full list is available from the agent to summarise, there has been works to the thatch re ridged and netted , the electrics including fire and intruder alarms updated, a complete redecoration internally and externally, new bathrooms and the kitchen was also updated. Now, it presents as a terrific family home, with all the major works complete, and ready for a new owner to enjoy.

The layout offers a spacious entrance hall with parquet flooring this continues through most of the ground floor , a large sitting room with curved walls and a fireplace. This room opens onto the garden to the rear through double doors and provides a wonderful reading area as well as the main sitting area. There is another large and flexible reception room, currently used as an office gym which overlooks the front. To the rear is that incredible kitchen dining family room with zones for cooking, eating and relaxing. The light and space in this room means it really does become the heart of the home and the kitchen is a dream for any aspiring chefs. It s practical, sociable and spacious. Worth noting is the huge, illuminated fireplace housing the range cooker and the historic bread oven. As one would hope for a house like this, there s a ground floor WC and a good sized utility room too. On the first floor is a large open landing and then four double bedrooms. The master bedroom has a beautiful ensuite and there s a family bathroom to serve the remainder. The character continues on the first floor too with plenty of exposed timbers and indications of the past.

Outside, the cobbles at the front provide off road parking for 4 vehicles which is a really important aspect of the cottage as many of this type don t have the benefit of ease of parking. There s an integral garage too with electric door, very handy for storage of bikes and outdoor equipment. To the rear is a very established and good sized south facing garden with storage sheds and a workshop with power . There are various seating areas with a sociable courtyard. The garden is very private and has lawns, mature planted beds and will keep those with the greenest of fingers busy throughout the year. There s also a spring fed well ideal for keeping the garden watered.
