SITUATION

This is a unique opportunity to purchase a truly delightful and unique detached village cottage which occupies a quiet level backwater position away from traffic and literally just one minute's walk from the centre of the village, shops, post office, and pubs, etc.

Originally of quite ancient origins this pretty cottage has been substantially improved by the present owner over a number of years and now providing extremely comfortable well presented accommodation throughout which is oil centrally heated, double glazed, fully carpeted and ready to move straight into. The cottage also has some further potential in fact the current owner has existing plans which would enable the relocation of the currently large bathroom to a different location on the first floor so as to provide the cottage with two bedrooms. It is also understood that this could be achieved at comparatively low cost.

Whimple is an extremely popular village which unusually still retains its own station with rail links into the city and then beyond. Furthermore the additional communication links, including access to the A303 and the M5 and other trunk routes is also close to hand. Exeter Airport is about a ten minute drive away. The village is also popular as a result of its good level of facilities including good general store, village post office, local primary school, church, hairdressers, two good pubs, tennis and cricket clubs and many other clubs and societies.

Exeter is also very convenient for Whimple being just over 8 miles away. The coast at Exmouth is also a very convenient drive.

DIRECTIONS

From Exeter drive east on the A30 towards Honiton but forking left towards Sowton and Clyst Honiton. Continue along this road for about 5 miles turning left at Hand and Pen signposted to Whimple.

Note that the access to this property is shared with the vehicular access to the detached brick built house, Grangers, which fronts onto Church Road itself.
