Woodhayes Cottages, Exeter EX5

Description

Positioned within the sought-after village of Whimple, Woodhayes Cottages is a beautifully presented three-bedroom period home, brimming with character and charm whilst offering flexible accommodation perfectly suited to modern family life.

From the moment you arrive, the property exudes cottage appeal, with a delightful mature front garden creating an attractive first impression. Internally, the home has been sympathetically styled to complement its heritage, showcasing a wealth of character features including real wood flooring, exposed brickwork and a stunning fireplace housing a log-burning stove, creating a cosy focal point to the living room. The boiler was replaced 12 months ago.

The accommodation is both versatile and spacious. A welcoming porch/boot room provides a practical entrance. There is a useful study which could equally serve as a playroom, hobby room or occasional guest space. Adjacent is a utility room complete with shower facilities, adding further flexibility to the ground floor layout.

At the heart of the home lies a beautifully crafted kitchen/dining room. The cottage-style fitted kitchen is complemented by a freestanding oak island, exposed brick cooking area and an impressive vaulted dining space, creating a wonderful environment for both everyday living and entertaining. French doors lead to a rear courtyard housing log store and oil tank. The living room is spacious with real wood floor and log burner, an extended garden room floods the property with natural light and enjoys views over the garden.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms alongside a family bathroom, with each room enjoying a pleasant outlook and retaining the cottage's warm and inviting atmosphere.

Outside, the garden has been thoughtfully improved and offers a wonderful blend of relaxation and practicality. A recently installed decking area provides the perfect setting for a hot tub and outdoor entertaining, whilst a timber shed and substantial timber outbuilding with mezzanine storage offer excellent additional space for hobbies, working from home or general storage.

Combining period charm, versatile living space and attractive gardens in a highly desirable East Devon village location, this delightful cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a truly characterful family home.

Our vendors have thoughtfully upgraded the home whilst ensuring the charm is continued. They are looking to upsize within the village and have seen something they like.
