About this property
Historic, Grade II listed character cottage dating back to mid-17th century. Ideally situated in the heart of Winkleigh yet tucked away from it all and providing plenty of privacy. Spacious accommodation and large secluded rear garden ideal for barbecues or enjoying a drink in peaceful surroundings.
Enter though porch/boot room into a spacious hallway. Off the hallway, is a large, comfortable living room featuring an inglenook fireplace with wood burner. The spacious kitchen/dining room has a welcoming country feel. Old pine dressers and big farmhouse table. Stable door onto the garden. The ground floor is also home to a classic shower room.
Upstairs there are two single and two double bedrooms, three with their own wash basin. There is also an upstairs WC. All rooms are cosy and promise a good night’s sleep.
Small front garden enclosed by a high laurel hedge which allows for a perfect balance between the central location in the village and a secluded atmosphere within the house. The rear garden is surrounded by greenery, being bordered by gardens and is not overlooked by any other property. It provides a private and peaceful place to relax.
Winkleigh is a small rural village in the heart of Devon's rolling countryside and offers a shop, post office, butcher and a cafe, plus two pubs, one which offers food and the chance to sample traditional ciders and scrumpy from the Winkleigh Cider Company. A van which serves delicious fish and chips also comes to the village twice a week. Winding lanes, high hedgerows and a more gentle pace of life characterise the area. The open tors of Dartmoor are a big attraction for nature lovers and walkers, while the hills of Exmoor and the surfing beaches can all be reached in 40 minutes by car. Historic Torrington, home to RHS Rosemoor and an arts centre is just 13 miles away, whilst the Cathedral City of Exeter with its Roman city walls, shopping centre, theatre and restaurants makes a great day out.
