Description

This charming four-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage is situated in the desirable village of Whimple, known for its strong community and convenient amenities. Although the property is steeped in character, it presents a unique opportunity for renovation, enabling potential owners to tailor it to their tastes and lifestyle. Upon entry, you’re welcomed by a hallway featuring original tiled flooring that sets the tone for the rest of the home. The living room boasts dual-aspect windows that fill the space with natural light, alongside an appealing brick archway framing a multi-fuel burner—perfect for cozy evenings. The dining room includes a central beam and window seat that add to its charm, while a study provides a quiet nook for work or relaxation. The kitchen/breakfast room overlooks the garden and features beams, an oil-fired Rayburn, and ample space for casual dining. On the first floor, you'll find four bedrooms offering versatile options for family living or guest accommodations. One of these bedrooms includes built-in wardrobes for added convenience. A family bathroom completes this level. The property enjoys oil-fired central heating, enhancing comfort during the colder months. Outside, the enclosed garden features a mix of lawned areas and a brick-paved patio ideal for alfresco dining or entertaining guests. There’s also a summer house along with additional storage accessed from the front, which could be repurposed given its connection to what was originally a garage. Located just nine miles from both Exeter and Honiton, Whimple benefits from a mainline railway station with regular services to Exeter and Waterloo—an exceptional advantage for commuters. The village itself offers various amenities including shops, schools, public houses, tennis and cricket clubs, along with numerous community organizations. This property represents an exciting opportunity not only to create a personalized home but also to invest in an area with strong rental demand and potential appreciation in value. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this home has to offer.
