Read the full agent description

Nestled in the centre of a picturesque Devon village, this enchanting period home is brimming with original character and timeless appeal. Beautifully presented throughout, the property seamlessly blends historic features with modern comforts, creating a warm and inviting home full of personality.

From the moment you arrive, the impressive gabled entrance porch, complete with exposed stonework and a charming bench seat, sets the tone for what lies beyond. Inside, a wealth of period details awaits, including high ceilings, picture rails, flagstone flooring, timber panelled doors, cast-iron fireplaces and deep window seats.

The accommodation is both generous and versatile. A welcoming entrance hall leads to a light-filled dual-aspect sitting room, where bespoke shelving, built-in storage and an attractive fireplace create a wonderful space for relaxing and entertaining. The spacious dining room comfortably accommodates family gatherings and special occasions, while also providing access to a versatile loft room—ideal as a home office, studio, hobby room or occasional guest space—with the added benefit of an adjoining shower room.

At the heart of the home is the charming kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with handcrafted cabinetry, a traditional Belfast sink and ample room for a range-style cooker and appliances. A door opens directly onto the garden, making outdoor dining and summer entertaining effortless.

The first floor offers two exceptionally spacious double bedrooms, each featuring attractive cast-iron fireplaces, with one benefiting from built-in storage. A separate laundry room adds practicality, while the impressive family bathroom provides a touch of luxury with its central-tap bath, separate shower enclosure, WC and contemporary basin.

A substantial cellar/workshop, accessed from the main hallway and with its own external door, offers excellent storage, workshop space or potential for a variety of uses.

Outside, the delightful cottage-style gardens have been thoughtfully arranged to create a series of inviting outdoor spaces. Lawns, gravelled seating areas, mature planting and colourful borders combine to provide a private and tranquil setting, perfect for al fresco dining, relaxing in the sunshine or enjoying the changing seasons. A useful storage shed and oil tank are discreetly positioned within the garden.

Further benefits include oil-fired central heating and attractive Chartwell Green uPVC double-glazed windows and doors, enhancing both comfort and kerb appeal.

A rare opportunity to acquire a character-filled village home offering flexible accommodation, beautiful gardens and an abundance of period charm in an idyllic Devon setting.
