Situation and Description Properties built by Country and Coast Homes are synonymous with superior quality fittings used throughout, together with attention to detail and exacting standards of build. Those built on this exclusive little development in Old Manor Gardens are no exception, having solid oak floors, bespoke oak staircases and internal oak doors. The large oak fireplace in the lounge has a chimney and slate hearth designed to accommodate a log burning stove. A spacious kitchen with its granite surfaces and Rangemaster cooker has plenty of room for a dining table and the extensive range of fitted units include integrated appliances. There is also a bespoke dresser in a traditional period style. Even the adjoining utility room has an impressive oak stable type door opening to the side.

Upstairs the family bathroom and en-suite have high quality porcelain tiling enhanced by a mosaic feature course which twinkles under the spotlights. Superior Grohe 'Raindance' fittings have been specified here and the floors have under floor heating. Domestic hot water and heating throughout the houses are provided by an economical condensing gas boiler which ensures good shower pressures.

Externally the design of this property is based on Georgian architecture but with twenty first century highly efficient double glazed sash windows and minimal maintenance K Rend walls, all under an attractive tiled roof. The rain water goods are also of a superior quality being supplied by 'Lindub' and produced in maintenance free extruded aluminium. The boundary walls on this exclusive little development are finished in natural local stone, another touch to ensure the houses blend in with their traditional village surroundings.

'Old Manor Gardens' is located right in the centre of this lovely East Devon village which has a post office and general store including a butcher. There is a parish church and a village hall which provides the focal point for an active community. There are also two village inns, the nearest being 'Wheelwright' which is a popular gastro pub with awards for good food.
