Originally built in the 1820s, this impressive Georgian residence is a complete standout property. The house was renovated in 2009 with the addition of double glazing throughout, underfloor heating, new flooring and an impressive kitchen. Set in the popular village of Cheriton Bishop just 10 miles from Exeter, The Cottage is surrounded by amazing views of the rolling Devon hills and Dartmoor beyond.
The grand entrance hall is the first of many impressive features in the home, with checkerboard tiled flooring the sweeping original staircase winds up through to a further 3 storeys. The large kitchen diner has modern units with granite worktops along with two integrated dishwashers, fridge/freezer, eye level oven and neff induction hob. The dining section of the kitchen has impressive high ceilings, a feature fireplace and a large sash window with original shutters. The lounge has an open working fireplace with marble surround and enjoys views over the garden from the large sash window again with original shutters. To the side is the orangery / sun room bursting with light and a door out to the garden, it has stone tiled flooring and offers a sunny spot to unwind. On the ground floor there is also a pantry and utility room and two downstairs WCs. An extension has been converted from a separate building and integrated into the main house which has lovely views over the rear courtyard, this space has a large room downstairs with bifold doors onto the courtyard and a large loft style room upstairs (with WC), this section could easily be adapted to an annexe or used as a studio.
On the first floor there are 3 double bedrooms, the master bedroom (with en-suite and built in wardrobe area) is spacious and has impressive views over the garden from the large picture window and has a feature fireplace. There is a door through to the adjoining bedroom that could also be used as a nursery or adapted to a dressing room if desired. Also on this floor is a large airing cupboard and a separate bathroom with a shower over the white suite bath.
The second floor has a further 3 double bedrooms, one overlooking the courtyard and two to the front overlooking the gardens, both of these bedrooms have doors out to the balcony where the views can really be taken in at their best. One of the front bedrooms has an ensuite shower room and there is a further family bathroom on this floor with a separate shower, a granite topped vanity unit along with storage cupboards.
Finally on the top floor is one very large converted attic that is very versatile and could be utilised as a bedroom, playroom, studio or office, there are two roof lights giving a fantastic bright and open space, the views from this room are superb.
The property is centrally heated by an oil fired boiler with a back up boiler in place and unlike many village properties is on mains drainage and mains water with double glazing throughout.
Outside there are electric gates leading to a large drive that can accommodate at least 6 cars along with a single garage with up and over door. To the rear of the house there is an enclosed courtyard perfect for outdoor dining and enjoying as a sun trap. To the front there is a large south east facing patio leading down to the lawned area with shrub and flower boarders & many tree varieties including an evergreen Holm Oak, Walnut, Eucalyptus & Magnolia. To the lower end of the garden is the orchard area with apple and plum trees, a vegetable patch and large greenhouse which has power and a large storage shed.

cheriton bishop is a village situated at the northern borders of Dartmoor National Park – between the City of Exeter and the town of Okehampton. The farmlands adjoining Cheriton undulate with true Devon character, gradually rising towards Dartmoor, where altitudes creep to heights in excess of 1000 ft above sea level. The village is ideally placed for hassle free access to the A30 dual carriageway, a direct injection into Exeter (10 miles) and a great route west to Cornwall. Facilities include, a parish church, a prosperous inn, a primary school, village shop and a Doctor’s surgery. Fancy sloshing a drink around and wiggling to a beat? For music lovers: Cheriton hosts two annual festivals at the Woodleigh Coach House – ‘The Gig in The Garden’ and ‘Jam in June’, the perfect opportunity to see some talented local acts.
Directions
From the A30 take the Woodleigh junction the proceed into the village, take a right turn onto Church Lane, after the primary school head around to the left and The Cottage will be found along on the left.
