Whimple

Stone Cottage is an immaculately presented grade II listed period property, sitting in an idyllic rural spot on the edge of the popular East Devon village of Whimple. Originally built in the 16th century, but extended by the current owners five years ago, the property offers a perfect blend of character features with modern touches and the beautiful decor throughout brilliantly complements this.

Entering the property through the front porch, the ground floor provides two reception rooms, a utility room, downstairs WC and the recently extended kitchen / diner. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms — one of which benefits from an en suite — and the family bathroom.

Outside, the plot extends to 0.75 acres, with a large garden to the rear which features a stunning and spacious garden cabin / outside office with decked surround, a second decked seating area and a large patio. The majority of the space is grassed, with a mix of lawn and ‘wild’ areas, as well as spots perfect for keeping animals such as chickens, or maybe even a few sheep! At the front of the property, the gravel driveway leads to the garage and car port and all combined provides the capability to accommodate a number of vehicles.

Whimple is a village handily located in East Devon, nine miles from the city of Exeter, with excellent transport links — just 5 minutes from the A30 (A303) and with a train station on the London Waterloo line. The station is a two minute drive / 10 minute walk from the property. The south coast towns of Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton can also be reached in under 30 minutes. The village itself offers a number of amenities including a convenience store, primary school, two pubs, village cricket and football clubs, doctor’s surgery and church and the sought after secondary school, The King’s School, is located in the nearby town of Ottery St. Mary.
