This Grade II listed property is a real gem and has recently undergone extensive renovations by the current owner creating a stylish, contemporary home whilst retaining a great degree of character and charm.

The entrance area leads to a modern galley style kitchen offering an ergonomic layout, featuring skylight windows and an extensive range of cupboard and drawer units fitted with Silestone Worktops and integrated appliances to include a dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer. The kitchen also benefits from an attached breakfast table opposite French doors that lead to the private rear courtyard garden. In addition, there is a useful WC tucked away to the rear with skylight window and patterned flooring. Completing the ground floor is a bright and spacious sitting room with feature log burner, bespoke shelving and storage cupboards plus ample space for a dining table and chairs.
Stepping into the downstairs landing with feature port hole window, stairs rise to the first floor where you will find the principal bedroom. This truly impressive room boasts high ceilings and many period features including large sash window, picture rails and freestanding clawfoot bathtub. Bedroom two has built-in storage and a skylight plus a newly fitted shower room nearby.
The top floor has the ‘wow’ factor and offers versatility of use, currently used as an elevated sitting room. This calm space enjoys a dual aspect with the large bay window with bespoke window seat, showcasing the stunning estuary views beyond and oozes with elegance and charm.

Outside, the property benefits from secure off-road parking behind an electric roller door and a delightful, private courtyard garden, with well established cottage garden plants and flowers plus a raised gravel seating area and log store creating a real oasis.

The popular ‘Route 2’ bike path is a level, 16 mile route between Exmouth and Dawlish on the other side of the Exe Estuary.
