Frost, Morchard Bishop, Crediton, Devon, EX17

Located on the very outskirts of the popular and picturesque village of Morchard Bishop, yet within easy reach of the village pub, church and primary school, is this charming two / three bedroom semi detached cottage offered with no onward chain.



Wayside Cottage, which is believed to date from the late 17th century, is a surprisingly spacious Grade II Listed cottage of plastered cob on rubble footings, under a thatched roof. The property retains a wealth of character and period features including exposed ceiling beams and a large inglenook fireplace in the living room, which is currently blocked off.

On the ground floor are two generously proportioned reception rooms, a well equipped kitchen and a further room which has been used as a bedroom, or would make a good office space with superb views over the large gardens. There is a conservatory style rear porch, and downstairs cloakroom, while on the first floor are two double bedrooms, both with front facing aspects, and a family bathroom with low level WC, pedestal basin and shower over the bath.

Outside, the gardens are a real feature and surprisingly large with generous sized lawns, a variety of mature shrubs and plants, and space for a large vegetable patch. An outside store shed provides space for the boiler, and a side access could potentially provide parking space, subject to the necessary consents being sought.
