DESCRIPTION This beautifully located detached slate roof cottage is set in the heart of this most picturesque part of the Devonshire countryside with no immediate neighbours (the nearest neighbour being about 100 yards along the lane), just 3 miles from the Cathedral City of Exeter and 5 miles from the busy town of Crediton making it absolutely ideally located for commuting purposes. It is located down a very quiet private lane which serves just a few other cottages, and is surrounded by open farmland.

The cottage offers spacious period accommodation full of old world charm and character with exposed beams and wall stonework plus there is a lovely old inglenook style fireplace. The vendors have fairly recently erected a large timber framed double glazed conservatory off the kitchen, and this is a lovely feature of the property. There are Photovoltaic solar roof panels which we are informed significantly contribute towards the running costs of the property. The panels convert daylight into electricity, which is used to run household appliances and lighting etc.

The cottage stands in its own large secluded garden which takes full advantage of the views of the surrounding countryside. The garden is mainly lawned, has well established trees, shrubs and flower beds, and would be ideal for families with children. There are 2 useful outbuildings including a studio/workshop complete with lighting, power and insulation.

Properties such as Nettacott Cottage rarely come onto the market in this excellent rural location, and we wholeheartedly advise an early inspection to avoid any disappointment.

The nearby village of Upton Pyne is one of the areas picturesque villages situated just 3 miles north west of the Cathedral city of Exeter, the town of Crediton being some 5 miles to the west. It offers a scattering of individual houses, bungalows and period cottages, the centrepiece of which is the historic parish church with its fine cobbled courtyard and wicket gate. The larger village of Brampford Speke is 1miles to the east, and has a fine parish church dedicated to St Peter, a Baptist church, a primary school, a friendly village pub with an extremely good restaurant, village shop and a coffee shop. Some of the finest countryside surrounds the village which provides miles of beautiful walks including along the banks of the River Exe which meanders close by.

Note: We are informed that the present owners rent a nearby area of land which we understand extends to about 10 acres. This arrangement could be possibly continued subject to negotiations with the land owner.
