2 bed detached house for sale

Oyster Cottage, Cofton Hill EX6

Description

Oyster Cottage nestles in the heart of the charming estuary village of Cockwood, with its historic harbour and 450-year-old inn that was once the haunt of smugglers and pirates. The 17th century cottage enjoys captivating views over the harbour, Exe Estuary, the village green and rolling Devon countryside beyond. This deceptively spacious two-bedroomed property has been tastefully transformed inside and out by its current owners into a supremely cosy, quiet retreat boasting modern central heating, uPVC double glazing throughout and a sunny enclosed courtyard garden ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Oyster has a proven track record as an Airbnb holiday let that allows guests to enjoy its local Blue Flag beach, walks along the South West Coast Path, rides up and down the Exe Estuary Cycle Path and visits to the nearby countryside park. It generates an average annual income of around £25,000 and has hundreds of positive online reviews. The cottage would also suit a range of buyers looking for anything from a quiet weekend bolthole or long-term let to a cosy permanent home in a friendly and vibrant village.
Internally, the layout includes a spacious lounge/diner, a modern fitted kitchen, two true double bedrooms, a generous upstairs bathroom, and a separate utility room. Extensive expert work was carried out only last year on its predominantly cob walls and it is offered with no onward chain.
Major railway and bus routes are only a few minutes' walk from the front door, the ferry across the river to Exmouth takes just 15 minutes and the cottage is a 10-minute drive from the nearest dual-carriageway that leads directly onto the M5 motorway.
Surrounded by natural beauty, in a quiet yet extremely accessible location, Oyster Cottage offers an enviable lifestyle in a truly special spot.

Early viewing is highly recommended.
