DESCRIPTION This wonderful detached period thatched cottage is beautifully located in the heart of the Devonshire countryside in an idyllic rural setting well away from main roads, near the picturesque and sought after villages of Butterleigh and Bickleigh. The property stands high and enjoys absolutely breathtaking panoramic rural views across the adjoining open countryside, and the magnificent Blackdown Hills. The picturesque village of Butterleigh is about three quarters of a mile to the south along a country lane, with its well regarded public house, the Butterleigh Inn, where one can always expect a warm welcome.

Internally the property has splendid character accommodation full of period features, some of which include exposed ceiling beams & upright support posts, a massive inglenook fireplace (with a Clearview cast iron stove), much natural oak flooring, and solid oak ledge and brace doors. The accommodation is spotlessly presented and in fact the entire property both internally and externally has been fastidiously maintained by the present owner who has recently rethatched much of the property too.

The gardens and grounds are a superb feature of the cottage, and in all are believed to extend to about 0.75 of an acre, approximately. The adjoining land owner has indicated that he would be willing to negotiate further land if a purchaser required it. There are spacious parking/turning areas for numerous vehicles, plus a detached double garage. The large lawned has many well established trees, and well stocked flower beds. The garden adjoins open farm land and enjoys terrific country views.

Burrow Corner Cottage is located just over 2 miles from the picturesque village of Bickleigh (where The Devon Railway Centre and popular Bickleigh Mill can be found), with easy access to Exeter and Tiverton (both via the A396), Crediton (via the A3072), and the M5 motorway which lies to the east of the town of Cullompton. Butterleigh village affords a Parish church, popular Inn and also has an excellent village hall. This glorious part of Devon is of a rich rural landscape littered with trees and leafy lanes which usually lead to farms and cottages. It is lovely walking country, and fishing for Tench, Perch, Rudd and Carp can be found nearby.
