Vineyard Cottage is an immaculately presented property believed to date back to the mid-17th century. Positioned centrally within the charming Devonshire village of Winkleigh, you benefit from being surrounded by unspoilt countryside, a social community spirit and nearby local services.

Upon approach, you are greeted by an attractive front courtyard providing a pleasant seating area for you to enjoy the sunshine and south-facing orientation on offer. Aesthetically, this property strives above and beyond, from the bold white render tones, contrasting black window sills and Georgian sash window units.

As you enter, you are welcomed by the central stairwell with traditional latch doors leading you into both reception spaces. The living room is by far the true heart of the home, with a truly welcoming and cosy feel, plus plentiful floorspace, desirable woodburner and access through into the kitchen.

The dining room is the secondary reception space on offer, perfect for entertaining family and friends, all whilst enjoying your culinary delights. From here, there is direct access out to the rear courtyard garden. The kitchen is located to the rear of the cottage, this space has been efficiently designed and incorporates a modern suite, combined with ample worktop space and storage provisions. The Velux window and rear doorway provide an abundance of natural light into this area.

Ascending to the first floor, you have on offer three bedrooms and a family shower room. A meticulous standard of décor is noticeable throughout, bedroom one boasting a well-dimensioned double, with ample floorspace for furnishings and a feature fireplace. Bedroom two is located across the landing area, another double bedroom with integrated storage. Bedroom three is allocated as a single bedroom, a versatile space which could become a nursery or home office if desired. The family shower room was updated in 2022 by the current owners, providing a walk-in shower and overall contemporary suite.

Externally, the cottage boasts an enclosed rear courtyard garden, ideal for those looking for a low maintenance approach. This private external retreat lends itself to a selection of potted plants and relaxed seating arrangement.
