Property description

Property
We are privileged as the owner's sole agents to offer Fordton Cottage. This 3 bedroom semi-detached cottage was built in 1908 and constructed from brick and slate and is situated towards the outskirts of the much favoured village of Whimple yet just a short level walk from the village centre. The stylish accommodation comprises a conservatory/lean too, study, cloakroom, fitted kitchen/dining room and an attractive sitting room with fireplace on the ground floor while on the first floor there are 3 bedrooms and an attractive bathroom suite. The characterful décor consists of mostly original floorboards and finished beautifully in neutral colours throughout while being served by oil central heating.


Outside
The property is set in delightful grounds and is surrounded by farmland and apple orchards having previously been occupied by workers for the famous Whiteways Cider company. The gardens which extend to approximately a quarter of an acre consist mainly of lawn with colourful shrubs, gravel pathway and an avenue of lime trees and large patio and two useful timber sheds. There is also a large gravel offering ample parking.

The property also has great potential to extend subject to the necessary planning consents.
