Property for sale in Wilmington, Honiton EX14

Beautifully presented three bedroom stone cottage renovated to a high standard with impressive character features, large kitchen, parking and garden.

Gibbons Farm has the perfect blend of modern convenience and rustic charm and is offered to the market with no onward chain.

From here a composite front door opens into a central hallway with stairs leading to the first floor accommodation. Kardeen flooring runs from front to back leading into a delightful kitchen/dining room. This space provides an excellent area for entertaining, along with a dual aspect, quality fitted units and a range of integrated appliances. The adjoining utility room provides space for further appliances and a downstairs shower room. To the front of the cottage are two reception rooms. The main sitting room includes a large inglenook fireplace, while the other could be utilised as a snug, study or even a downstairs bedroom. To the first floor are three bedrooms and a smart shower room. The cottage had a comprehensive overhaul in 2015 which included modern double glazed windows, rewiring, an lpg central heating system and all new fixtures and fittings at that time.
