About
This glorious Grade II listed, character cottage, nestles in beautiful, professionally landscaped gardens, just off the picturesque village square in the centre of Kentisbeare, with its popular village shop and Wyndham Arms Public House.
The ground floor accommodation offers a well appointed and stylish kitchen/breakfast room with Aga, a generous sitting room with impressive Inglenook fireplace, housing a log burning stove and small store room beneath the staircase.
On the first floor, two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes are to be found, whilst the bathroom has been re-fitted with a contemporary white suite.
Outside, the grounds are an absolute delight, having been skilfully landscaped and designed by the present owner, with central pathway and strategically placed sitting out areas, flanked by shrubs and borders, the whole terminating in a recently built outbuilding, providing garaging, storage/workshop facilities.
The property will surely appeal to those seeking a modestly sized, but particularly choice and well maintained home of character in one of the Culm Valley’s most popular villages, whilst being within easy commuting distance of the M5.
Nestling in a mature setting on the outskirts of ever popular Kentisbeare Village with its Post Office stores, primary school, Wyndham Arms Public House and Parish Church.
