Description
DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION
Foxes is a wonderful character cottage, located just yards up from the village green and brook in the centre of the very popular Exe Valley village of Thorverton.
This immaculately presented home has undergone an extensive and very sympathetic refurbishment that has been done using materials and decoration that compliment it perfectly, such as gas central heating, a bespoke, oak fronted kitchen and planked & braced doors with traditionally styled ironwork, combine beautifully with the old cruck roof timbers, to make a property that offers a huge amount of charm without compromising on modern conveniences.
The accommodation flows very well and comprises of a kitchen which opens through to a dining room, which then feeds into the lounge. There is a separate WC on the ground floor and two good sized double bedrooms on the first floor, each of which has their own ensuite shower room or bathroom.
Outside, the cottage owns part of a very pretty cobbled courtyard and benefits from an outside storage shed.
Facilities in the village are very good for it's size and presently comprise a community run shop and Post Office, three public houses, a local Church and a well respected primary school. For the sport orientated, there is a well supported cricket club.
Despite being a quintessential Devon village, surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside, Thorverton enjoys fantastic access to Exeter (circa 5 miles) and Tiverton (circa 7 miles), with their myriad of services and transport connections.

There is room for garden seating and the property also has private ownership of a brick-built storage shed.
