This beautiful Grade II Listed detached cottage is set in a sizeable 0.3 acre plot of lovely gardens & parking, all found just a stones throw away from the village’s great transport links, with the shop & primary school not far beyond.

The spacious accommodation (104sqm / 1120sqft) has undergone massive improvements since 2013, including the front of the house being re-thatched in 2018. There are three good bedrooms and a handy WC upstairs. Downstairs is very spacious, it includes a fantastic kitchen diner extension, with vaulted ceiling, underfloor heating below the floor tiles, space for a Range cooker (available by negotiation) and an integrated dishwasher.There are two main reception rooms offering flexibility as a separate dining room or a 2nd sitting room.The main living room has a lovely 2018 installed Woodwarm wood-burner, with a study looking to the garden attached. We also have a garden room/games room/studio, again giving great flexibility, plus a 2018 fitted family bathroom, with a ‘2 man’ bath, double shower, WC, sink and heated towel rail. The property was re-wired (2013-14) & a new Worcester combi-boiler in 2014 provides hot water & central heating.

Outside: The large plot includes very pretty cottage gardens with areas of lawns, pretty flower beds & borders, plus raised beds too. There is a stone chipped seating area, an Artesian Platinum Hot-Tub (available by neg) as well as handy outbuildings providing storage and a workshop area. The gated parking is suitable for 5-6 cars. The current owners received a positive response from the local authority to a recent 'Pre-Application' to build a two bedroom detached bungalow at the top of the garden.

DIRECTIONS: Upon entering Copplestone from Crediton direction, pass Dulings Meadow & the Farm Shop on your right, slow down and take a driveway off the main road on your right and the parking is found in behind (if you get to the bus stop on the right, you’ve gone too far!).

COPPLESTONE is a 5-minute drive west of Crediton on the A377, a main route into the City of Exeter. A stone’s throw to the southwest is Dartmoor National Park, renowned for its invigorating walks and sublime scenery. Previously a traditional farming hamlet, Copplestone has grown over the years, and now offers a fantastic selection of new-build, fully modern homes. This, coupled with its own primary school and locality to Queen Elizabeth’s Community College in Crediton, makes it perfect for families moving to Devon. The village has a strong camaraderie between residents, with a local church holding many events. There is a 3m carved granite cross, found in the village centre of Saxon origin and steeped in mythology. There is also a shop/post office for convenience, and regular transport links (bus and train) towards Exeter, North Devon and Okehampton.
