SITUATION Saxons Cottage is located along a quiet road, opposite the cricket club and a short walk into the centre of the popular village of Whimple, which offers a primary school, church, village shop and pubs. There is also a railway connection from the village on the Waterloo line into Exeter and London. The historic town of Ottery St Mary lies three miles East with good range of facilities including shops, a supermarket, doctors surgery, banks, schools, including The Kings School (Ofsted rated Good) and sports centre. Exeter is approximately 12 miles distance via the A30, as is Exeter International Airport and J29 of the M5 (approximately 8 miles).
ACCOMMODATION Saxons Cottage is a charming, Grade II Listed detached cottage located on the edge of the village with a lovely view to the front overlooking the village cricket ground. In the same ownership for sometime, the property has been sympathetically upgraded and renovated by the current owner to a high standard throughout including a single story extension to the rear, high quality oak window sills and bespoke oak shutters.
The front door opens into a sitting room with wood burner set in an exposed stone heath, there are windows to the front and rear and a period style radiator. A door on the right leads to a dining room and on the left is a lovely, cottage style kitchen fitted with a range of base, wall and drawer units with exposed brick granite and solid wood work tops along with bespoke dressers. There is an oil fired Redfyre Range cooker (Aga lookalike) supplying hot water, heating plus cooking, a range of fitted appliances, a central island with granite work top and an attractive window seat looking to the front. Towards the rear a door leads into the garden and there is a ground floor shower room with W.C and hand wash basin.
At the other end of the house the dining room can also be used as a useful study with another period style radiator and a stair case rises to the first floor.
On the first floor are two double bedrooms, both with windows looking to the front, there is a separate W.C accessed from the landing and from the main bedroom there is an ensuite shower room.
