Cottage for sale in Three Horse Shoes, Cowley, Exeter EX5

This pretty three bedroom semi-detached cottage, dating back to the early 19th Century, is located in the hamlet of Cowley, on the edge of Exeter. Tucked down a quiet lane, but with the main road within convenient proximity, the property benefits from a semi rural feel but with easy access and great transport links to the city; as well as also being just a 5 minute drive from Exeter St David’s Station.

The layout

As you step through the gate into the garden, the charm and character of the property is immediately noticeable, thanks to the Tudor style appearance and thatched roof. Entering the property itself and into the hallway, you feel the warming and homely atmosphere with the cosy but light-filled double aspect sitting room on your left, complete with log burner. To the right is the second reception room, offering space for a separate dining room or office. Down the hallway to the rear of the cottage is the kitchen and the utility area on from there, with doors out to the garden that wraps around the side of the cottage.

Heading upstairs, the second bedroom is to your right as you reach the top of the stairs — a spacious double bedroom with built in wardrobes. From the top of the stairs to the left is the main bedroom with a beautifully finished new en suite, and the third bedroom. Completing the first floor layout is the main bathroom, which is also brand new and finished to a high standard. From the main bedroom, a door opens out onto an elevated outside terrace — a perfect spot for a morning coffee or sundowner before bed!

Outside

The enclosed garden area is at the front, on the south side, with the lawn to the right and patio / seating area to the left as you face the front of the cottage. The garden continues around the west side of the property, where you find the outside storage space. Steps take you up to the raised terrace, surrounded by flower beds. The driveway lies just across the lane, providing parking for multiple vehicles and also further space for storage, in the form of another shed.

The area

The property benefits from easy access to amenities with Bernavilles Nurseries opposite, and the local pub also just a short walk away! Transport links are excellent; a bus stop is within easy walking distance and from here you can pick up the bus to Exeter and Crediton too. Exeter St David’s station is just five minutes by car.
