Chittlehamholt, Umberleigh, Devon, EX37

A delightful Grade II listed detached cottage full of character, set in a picturesque village location with generous gardens. Beautifully presented and in excellent decorative order throughout, the property also offers ample private parking and a versatile selection of outbuildings, all set within approximately 0.18 acres.

Offering comfortable two-bedroom accommodation, the cottage retains many original features such as an inglenook-style fireplace with a bread oven, exposed beams, and window seats. The sitting room and dining room lead into a spacious, double-aspect kitchen/breakfast room, recently updated with quality fitted units, stone-tiled splashbacks, and a Rangemaster cooker. A charming garden room at the rear opens to the gardens with a well-appointed downstairs shower room accesed from this room.

Upstairs, both double bedrooms benefit from large en-suite bathrooms and an additional room which could serve as a useful home office or craft room.

To the front of the cottage lies a charming, enclosed cottage-style garden with low walls topped by iron railings. A front gate opens to a stone-paved pathway, flanked by gravelled areas and raised, well-stocked flower and shrub beds.

To the side, a gravelled area adjoining the road leads to a private driveway with parking for three cars and access to a detached garage with an electric up-and-over door. Behind the garage is a log store with double-glazed patio doors and a useful workshop.

A pedestrian gate from the driveway opens into a spacious paved patio, creating a sheltered courtyard feel at the rear of the cottage. Adjacent to this area is a versatile range of outbuildings, including a utility room with a fitted work surface and a greenhouse/potting shed featuring double doors with side panels. This outbuilding range may offer potential for alternative uses, subject to any necessary planning consent.

The rear patio overlooks attractive, well-maintained gardens divided into two principal sections. The upper garden is laid to lawn with mature shrub and tree borders, offering privacy and seclusion. A gate and laurel-covered archway lead to the lower garden with paved pathways, a large raised bed, fruit trees and a small garden shed. A private lawned seating area completes this peaceful space.
