Old Exeter Street, Chudleigh

THE PROPERTY Dating from the 1800s, this two-bedroom end-terrace cottage has an appealing individuality, with Accommodation over three floors and a particularly useful arrangement outside. Inside, the sitting room has the warmth you would hope to find in a cottage of this age, with an exposed stone and brick fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. To the rear, the kitchen/dining room provides space for everyday dining and opens towards the garden, while the two bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors.

Outside is where the property becomes even more interesting. Direct side access leads from the street alongside the cottage and into the garden, giving a degree of independence and practicality that is not always found with older town properties. The owners previously used the patio area to park a small car, offering potential for similar use depending upon the vehicle and allowing for the adjoining neighbours access. Beyond is a private, established garden and a separate garden building, divided into a studio/garden room and adjoining store. It is a genuinely useful addition to the property, creating a place to work, make, study or simply retreat away from the main house.
 

ACCOMMODATION The front door opens into a small inner hallway with useful storage before continuing into the sitting room, where the period feel of the cottage immediately comes through. An exposed stone and brick fireplace forms the centrepiece of the room, housing a wood-burning stove and bringing warmth and texture to the interior. A window to the front provides natural light, while a door leads through towards the kitchen and the rest of the accommodation. Positioned at the rear, the kitchen/dining room is arranged as an everyday working and eating space, with fitted timber-fronted cabinetry, granite resin work surfaces and room for a dining table. A window looks towards the garden, while the rear door provides an easy connection with the outside and draws the garden into everyday life. There is also a small under stair storage area.

Stairs rise to the first floor where the principal bedroom is a good-sized double room with fitted storage and a window to the front. The bathroom is also on this level and includes a bath, separate shower, wash basin and WC as well as an airing cupboard. The staircase continues to the second floor and to bedroom two, which is tucked beneath the roofline and offers a view towards Haytor. The space also offers useful eaves storage within this upper level. It is a room with a distinctly different feel from the floor below and could work equally well as a bedroom, guest room or workspace according to a buyer's needs.
 

OUTSIDE The direct side access is one of the features that sets this cottage apart, running from Old Exeter Street alongside the house and straight into the garden. It makes the outside space particularly practical, whether bringing through bicycles, gardening equipment or simply coming and going without passing through the house.

The owners previously used the patio area to park a small car when they purchased the property approximately 26 years ago. The area may therefore offer potential parking for a small vehicle, while maintaining access for the adjoining neighbour's right of way. Prospective purchasers are advised to satisfy themselves as to the dimensions, access and suitability for their own vehicle.

Beyond, the garden has been arranged with paved areas, established planting and places to sit, creating a pleasantly enclosed outdoor setting. At the far end is the detached garden building, comprising a garden room of approximately 20'2" x 8' together with a separate 8'2" x 8'0" store. Set apart from the house, it creates a valuable additional space for working, making, hobbies or creative pursuits, while retaining useful storage alongside.
