Description - We are delighted to offer for sale this charming attached period home understood to date back to the 1700’s, positioned in a quiet elevated location in this very popular Devonshire village, with neighbouring characterful homes, rolling hills and woodland. In more recent years, Woodbine Cottage has been sympathetically refurbished by the current owner transforming this once humble cottage into a modern yet characterful home that combines period features with up to date refinements. Some of the most notable improvements include a new kitchen, bathrooms and UPVC double glazing yet not detracting from the characterful features that you would expect of a period property including exposed beams, wooden latch doors and flagstone flooring.

In 2010, the cottage was extensively extended doubling its size enlarging the kitchen and adding an additional bedroom and en-suite.
The accommodation comprises a sitting room with a inglenook fireplace, original bread oven and wood burning stove and staircase to the first floor. A large 19ft family orientated kitchen/breakfast room with a newly fitted kitchen with plenty of space for farmhouse table and chairs. A dining room with useful storage/study room. There is also a 'Jake and Gill' style shower room and bedroom on the ground floor. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms each enjoying countryside views, a storage/dressing room area and large family/en-suite bathroom. The main bedroom benefits an en-suite shower room and patio doors out to the sun terrace.
The layout of the accommodation, with approximate dimensions, is more clearly identified upon the accompanying floorplan.

Outside - Approximately 1/3 of an acre initially tiered and sloping gardens, steep in areas, located to the rear of property with a contemporary stone sun terrace and a raised timber surrounded pond.
The off road private parking, with access up to the garden via a metal staircase, is located beside the property with space for around 4 vehicles.
