Property description

This attractive stone-built slate roofed country cottage offers deceptively spacious 3 bedroomed accommodation enjoying magnificent rural views over adjoining countryside. The cottage is situated in the picturesque and sought after Mid Devon village of Down St Mary, set nicely back from the road with a front garden and stone wall in front. It has a useful utility / store shed at the rear.


The accommodation is arranged on three floors and has the benefit of mains gas central heating and uPVC double glazed windows throughout. The property benefits from a modern kitchen and living room enjoys oak flooring and a wood burner, though it is currently capped off. The property has been completely rewired and benefits from smoke alarms. There is double boarding and insulation under the oak flooring for extra sound proofing.


Down St Mary rests in an area of sheltered low lying valleys, a patchwork quilt of wild meadows and trickling streams. It is a compact and quiet place with a lovely green, a church and a village hall. Close by are a variety of fine restaurants/ pubs, for example the Devonshire Dumpling on Morchard Road – praised for its hearty portions and use of quality local ingredients. Fancy a bit of lighthearted fun? Nearby is a 9-hole golf course (best of three perhaps?) Young children are taken to the modern primary school in Copplestone and older ones to Queen Elizabeth’s Community College in Crediton. Both of which are first-rate schools. Crediton is the nearest market town, 5 miles west and for everything moderns require the City of Exeter is 13 miles away – each in sequence along the A377.


DIRECTIONS

• From Crediton take the A377 road to Copplestone and continue until reaching Morchard Road.
• Turn left as signposted Down St Mary and follow this lane up into the village.
