2 bed cottage for sale

Newton St. Cyres, Exeter EX5

An end-of-terrace cottage with plenty of character, set in the small village of Half Moon, around a 10-minute drive from the centre of Exeter.

Inside, the main living space is arranged as an open-plan sitting and dining room, creating a sociable layout that suits both everyday living and relaxed evenings at home. An open feature fireplace forms a natural focal point, while substantial exposed beams add a sense of age and texture to the room. The kitchen has access straight to the garden and there is a utility room leading through to the downstairs bathroom with white suite bath and shower over. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, the larger of the two with a lovely range of fitted wardrobes.

To the rear, the garden is notably generous for a property of this type, providing plenty of space for seating, planting or simply enjoying the outlook. It backs directly onto open fields, giving a sense of space and privacy. The property also benefits from parking for two vehicles. There is gas central heating and uPVC double glazing throughout with solar panels on both pitches of the roof.

The location strikes a practical balance - far enough away from the pace of the city, yet close enough for straightforward access to Exeter when needed. For something closer to home, Hanlons Brewery and the bfk Restaurant are within walking distance, offering an easy option for food and drink without getting in the car.

Overall, a characterful cottage in a well-connected village setting, with countryside on the doorstep and the city a short journey away.
