Property description
Located in the heart of the village of Clyst St Mary, just a short drive from the M5, this beautiful cottage, whilst rather unassuming from the outside, offers space and a quality of finish that is rarely seen. With a huge living room (incorporating a cosy wood burning stove), a large kitchen/dining room and 4 bedrooms, the house offers plenty of space for a family or a wonderfully convenient village location (close to local amenities) for a commuter or retired buyers. Combined with a modern specification and some truly superb character features, such as oak planked doors, a roll-top bath, exposed beams and a fantastic secluded courtyard (there is a good sized garden as well), the house really does offer all things to all men (and women!).
The location ...

The village is also particularly convenient and enjoys great access to the M5, Exeter airport and for the Cathedral City itself, along with surrounding coastal towns of Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton and Exmouth.
The situation ...
Situated right in the heart of this popular village on the eastern edge of Exeter, the cottage is with in a short walk to most of the local amenities. There is unrestricted on road parking immediately to the front of the cottage
The property ...
Barley Cottage is a truly impressive period property that has undergone an extensive programme of extension and refurbishment in recent years, which has simply created a beautiful family home. Believed by the owner to have been originally constructed in the 17th century, the accommodation appears to have been virtually doubled in size to create a large 4 bedroom home with a 21\‘ sitting room with wood burner and 29\‘ kitchen / dining room. The fixtures and fittings in general are of a high standard and incorporate lots of oak doors and joinery. There is a separate bathroom (with traditional roll top bath) and shower room, and two of the bedrooms have impressive vaulted ceilings. Outside, another particularly noteworthy feature of the cottage is the lovely garden, which consists of a large secluded patio adjoining the kitchen (tri-fold doors in the dining area enable it to become a true extension of the living space), with steps leading to a decked area and then onto a large lawned garden (with two sheds).
