Property description

A picturesque thatched three bedroom cottage enjoying a southerly aspect and situated in the centre of this pretty East Devon village.


SUMMARY
This most attractive thatched cottage occupies a delightful position in this well-known picture postcard street and is situated in the centre of this popular East Devon village.

The 'L' shaped sitting room enjoys a southerly aspect and has an adjoining dining room. The ground floor also offers an inner hall with cloakroom off and there is a kitchen which enjoys a dual aspect. To the first floor, there are three bedrooms and a good size bathroom. There is also a garden with the property which is situated to the rear and enjoys a lovely view towards Buckley Hill.

SUMMARY CONTINUED
