Situation - The property is to the north of Tiverton, in a superb location between the villages of Huntsham and Cove. Huntsham benefits from a village post office, church and Huntsham Court, a private hire country house. Just 3 miles away is Knightshayes Court, a National Trust house with glorious gardens open to the public.

Tiverton has a good range of shopping, schooling and recreational facilities, including Blundell's School which offers discounts to local pupils. Tiverton Parkway Railway Station is a short distance from the property and both Exeter and Taunton are within easy commuting distance.

Description - Doctorsdown Cottage enjoys a south facing aspect and has retained much of its period charm while being sympathetically modernised over time to create a family home. The property is not listed and has been extended to create additional accommodation to the northern aspect, enhancing both the ground and first floors.

Accommodation - The porch opens into a central entrance hall, giving access to all principal reception rooms. The large family kitchen is the hub of the house, a light and spacious room opening into a dining area. The kitchen is well fitted with modern farmhouse style wall and floor units, including a central island, as well as benefitting from a pantry. There is also an adjoining utility room. There is a separate sitting room which features a stone inglenook fireplace with inset wood burning stove. Adjoining the sitting room is the family room, with double doors opening into the large conservatory. Additionally, there is a cloakroom and boot room on the ground floor.

On the first floor are four double bedrooms. The master bedroom sits to the western side of the property and benefits from an outlook across the surrounding countryside, as well as a dressing room and en suite bathroom. There is a large family bathroom, as well as an additional en suite.

NB The Aga in the kitchen and the fittings in the bath and shower rooms are not included in the sale.

Outside - The property is approached through electric gates over a sweeping driveway, leading to a large parking area with a turning circle. There are a range of useful outbuildings, including a barn, a workshop, two car ports and a store.

Surrounding the property are the large gardens, currently laid to lawn with a small pond and path leading to a secluded barbecue and hot tub cabin surrounded by trees. To the north is a small wild meadow with a summer house and store. In total, the plot extends to 1.52 acres.

Viewings - Strictly by appointment with the agents please.
