Description
Set in a small rural hamlet surrounded by picturesque countryside, yet just 4 miles from the cathedral and university city of Exeter, Barton Cottage is a characterful country home brimming with charm and exquisite period features. Offering a unique and versatile layout, this impressive property extends to over 2,300 sq. ft of beautifully presented accommodation, showcasing an abundance of exposed beams and striking fireplaces.
In addition to the main residence, Barton Cottage benefits from a delightful, detached holiday cottage, thoughtfully designed as a self-contained rural retreat and providing an attractive source of income potential.
The principal residence is arranged with 4 bedrooms, together with a welcoming dual-aspect sitting room centred around an inset wood-burning stove. The country house-style kitchen/breakfast room is beautifully appointed, featuring a central island and traditional oil-fired Aga, while a generous boot room/utility provides practical support for rural living. A formal dining room with wood-burning stove, spacious entrance hall with staircase rising to the first floor, and 2 bathrooms complete the accommodation within the main house.
The grounds extend to approximately 1.4 acres and enjoy a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquillity, with patios ideal for al fresco dining, wildflower areas, mature trees, and a sweeping gravel driveway and courtyard area, providing ample parking for several vehicles.
The detached 2 bedroom holiday cottage is a wonderful addition to the property and offers an attractive income opportunity. Stylishly presented throughout, it provides well-appointed self-contained accommodation, ideal as a rural retreat for guests visiting the surrounding Exeter countryside.
