An elegant, attached two-bedroom period cottage, set in one of East Devon’s most sought-after villages and complemented by impressive green credentials.<br/><br/>Discreetly positioned in the heart of Payhembury, the cottage is pleasantly tucked back from the road, offering a sense of privacy while remaining moments from the village’s everyday amenities.<br/>Lovingly maintained by the current owner, the home retains an abundance of character features and a warm, unmistakably ‘cottage’ atmosphere, creating a welcoming setting for both day-to-day living and entertaining.<br/>The ground floor is arranged around an entrance hall with staircase to the first floor, leading through to a generous sitting room centred on an attractive inglenook fireplace with inset wood-burning stove, ideal for cosy evenings in every season.<br/>From both the hallway and the sitting room, a long farmhouse-style kitchen provides ample space for dining, with a characterful Rayburn (oil fired, currently not connected) as a focal point. Practicality is well considered, with a pantry cupboard and a modern oil-fired central heating boiler, while the sitting room also opens to a covered patio area that extends the living space into the rear garden.<br/>Upstairs, the landing gives access to useful storage, two well-proportioned double bedrooms, including one with fitted wardrobes, and a smart shower room featuring a walk-in shower enclosure.<br/>Further highlights include double-glazed windows, oil-fired central heating with radiators throughout, and an owned solar array, helping to reduce running costs while enhancing the home’s environmental appeal.<br/><br/>The property is centrally located in the thriving rural village of Payhembury, beside the community-run village store. Village amenities include a shop and post office, village hall, pub, garage, tennis courts, playground and well-regarded primary school, all within about 200m. Payhembury also has a 13th Century church and falls within the catchment for The King’s School, with a bus service from nearby Feniton (2 miles) to Colyton Grammar School. The village hosts a range of community events and offers immediate access to the surrounding countryside. Despite its rural setting, it is well connected, with the A30 at Honiton 6 miles away, M5 junction 28 within 8 miles, rail services from Feniton and Tiverton Parkway to Exeter, London, the Midlands and the North, and Exeter Airport about 12 miles away. Honiton and Cullompton provide a good range of everyday facilities, while Exeter is just 16 miles away and the south-west coast around 14 miles.<br/><br/>A side pathway leads to the front door and continues to the rear garden. The rear garden is beautifully tended, with a covered patio ideal for outdoor dining, timber sheds and a greenhouse for storage and growing space, and mature planting adding colour and structure. Mature trees and an open outlook over the field behind create a peaceful setting.
