Property description
Broadway House is a Grade II Listed cottage with an interesting history and was known as the Village Post Office for decades. In more recent years it has been thoughtfully refurbished and converted into a substantial family home, whilst retaining many of the original features including exposed beams and open fireplaces. The accommodation is extremely versatile and would lend itself for a variety of business opportunities if desired (subject to planning), taking advantage of its central location and its thriving community. The excellent village amenities are all within walking distance including the convenience store, highly regarded primary school and the railway line connecting Exeter and London Waterloo.
This delightful home briefly comprises; reception hall with study/office, sitting room with feature focal fireplace and a large picture window attracting plenty of light into the room. The formal dining room is most impressive with a wonderful inglenook fireplace with oil burning stove and exposed beams. This spacious room leads through to the well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room which is fitted with a range of cream fronted cupboards and drawers with space for modern appliances and room for a breakfast table and chairs. There is a substantial utility/boot room with additional storage and appliance space and a cloakroom/WC.
On the first floor are four good sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom which is fitted with a stylish period style white suite benefitting from both a freestanding bath with roll top and ornate feet and a separate walk-in shower cubicle. We understand the property also benefits from a modern oil fired central heating system.
Outside, to the side of the property is a substantial driveway providing off road parking for several vehicles including room for motorhomes, boats etc. The rear garden is fully enclosed and enjoys an excellent degree of privacy with a paved patio area and steps leading up to a level lawn with summerhouse and garden shed. Bordering flowerbeds are bursting with a variety of specimen plants and shrubs, creating a cottage garden feel which would please any keen gardener.
Whimple: The mainline railway station on the London Waterloo-Exeter line is within the village, as are the doctor's surgery, post office, church, bus service, well respected local primary school and heritage centre. There is also a cricket field and two good family pubs. The old A30 runs near the village which gives quick access to the A30 dual carriageway for easy journeys to Honiton, Exeter and the M5. Ottery St Mary is about 3 miles, Exeter 8 miles and the coast at Sidmouth is within a short drive.
