Property description

Garden Cottage is a beautifully presented semi-detached cottage of immense character, lovingly restored over the last 16 years by the present owners providing a comfortable retirement or family home in a particularly accessible location but set amongst open countryside.

There is a ground floor third bedroom with an en-suite shower room. On the first floor a lovely timber staircase leads to a landing with two bedrooms and an attractive family bathroom. The windows are double glazed.



This property would formally have provided the kitchen garden requirements to nearby Strete Ralegh House and the gardens are delightful; level and walled on two sides with climbing pears, raised vegetable beds and large areas of lawn, patios and plenty of shrubs plants and flowers. A real cottage style garden with a door in the wall leading to a further secret garden area of trees and a pretty stream, giving lots of scope for making more garden or just a useful storage space for composting, garden machinery etc. There is a useful garage/workshop with power and light as well as a log cabin suitable for a variety of uses.



The total area of these lovely gardens amounts to approximately a third of an acre and provides a lovely setting for the cottage. Its stands off a country lane adjoining fields to the side and rear but is within easy reach of the old and new A30 roads for easy access to Exeter, Honiton and beyond.



Strete Ralegh is a hamlet about a mile from the village of Whimple. This has a shop, two pubs, primary school and mainline Railway Station (Waterloo), Church, Doctors Surgery etc. Exeter with the M5 junction is about 8 miles away, Ottery St Mary about 3 miles and the coast of Sidmouth about 9 miles.
