Property description
Greenslade Cottage is a pretty Grade II Listed character cottage situated on the outskirts of Chulmleigh but still only a five minute walk from the shops and facilities. The property is of traditional stone and cob construction under a thatched roof with a more recent single storey addition to the rear under a flat roof encompassing the Kitchen and Dining Room, all with rendered and colour washed elevations. Internally the property offers comfortable and well laid out accommodation with all the character and charm one would expect from a property of this period including traditional multi pane windows, beamed ceiling and the original exposed stone fireplace in the Sitting Room housing a wood burning stove. Although in reasonable order Greenslade Cottage would now benefit from a program of internal modernisation and improvement including re-wiring, re-plumbing, the installation of new Kitchen and Bathroom suites and re-decoration throughout. Outside and to the side of the property there is off-road parking for one car whilst at the rear there is a pretty cottage garden with the benefit of a use Garden Storage Shed.
