Kingfisher Cottage is an attractive and extremely spacious four bedroom, mid-terrace barn conversion accessed from the main gravelled courtyard. It has rendered colour washed elevations with some of the original stonework visible.

Approached from the courtyard, the wide porch leads through to the entrance hall with stairs to the first floor, a downstairs cloakroom and the two main reception rooms on either side. To the left is the bright double aspect sitting room with views over the property’s garden and the fishing lakes beyond. The sitting room is large and well proportioned. Sliding double patio doors provide access to the rear terrace which enjoys the afternoon sun. To the right of the hall is the double aspect kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen features painted wooden units, an integrated double oven and electric hob and has access to the garden. The downstairs cloakroom has a WC and hand basin plus a good range of built-in cupboards including one which is full height.

Upstairs is a landing with an airing cupboard housing the hot water tank and doors to the bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room, a built-in wardrobe and vanity unit with mirror. A further double and two single bedrooms are all bright and feature built-in wardrobes and vanity units. The family bathroom features a panel bath with an overhead power shower. The cottage is double glazed throughout and features rustic style wooden doors.

Outside

Accessed from the sitting room, the kitchen and the track to the rear, the garden is laid to lawn and extends to 70 feet.

There is reserved parking in the farmyard parking area.

Situation

Kingfisher Cottage lies in the extremely popular Exe Valley, situated in the countryside but easily accessible to Exeter. The nearest village is Stoke Canon and this thriving village has a Post Office, shop, hairdressers and community owned pub, all of which cater for most everyday needs. There is also a well-regarded primary school and church in the village.

The National Trust Estate of Killerton House is close by.

The cathedral city and county town of Exeter offers an extensive range of shopping, recreational and cultural facilities. There are a number of excellent state and independent schools in Exeter and the internationally recognised Exeter University.

Also nearby are the lovely East Devon Jurassic coastline, Torbay and the rugged splendour of both Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks.

BUSSELLS FARM

Bussells Farm, set in 30 acres in the beautiful Exe Valley countryside, provides a rare opportunity to purchase eight properties either as a whole or individually. Prospective purchasers have the option to combine one or more properties with the stables and paddocks, fishing lakes and various parcels of agricultural land.

This unique hamlet comprises a farmhouse and seven barn conversions surrounding a gravelled courtyard with Victorian style street lamps and raised flower beds. The properties are entirely surrounded by fields and fishing lakes, and this rural idyll is home to a host of wildlife, with geese and ducks breeding on the lakes. Birds of prey, herons and kingfishers are frequent visitors. The woods and hedgerows around Bussells provide a home to rabbits, badgers and foxes with deer regularly seen on and around the property. Surprisingly this haven of peace and seclusion is only 6.5 miles from Exeter and has easy access to the motorway network, airport and mainline railway station.

Bussells Farm is accessed via a long private drive set off a quiet country lane.
