Garden Cottage is a charming, period home situated in the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, conveniently close to the city of Exeter. The property boasts exceptional grounds, featuring a formal walled garden, wildflower meadows, and an ancient wood with many specimen trees. The original house, built for the head gardener of the nearby Farringdon estate, has been extended to enlarge the accommodation and link the outhouses to create an enclosed courtyard. The interior features a mix of traditional and modern elements, including oak flooring, slate fireplaces, and a woodburning stove. The property also includes a study, garden room, and four bedrooms, including one with an en-suite toilet and shower. The gardens and grounds offer a high degree of privacy and feature a large formal pond, ornamental box hedging, and a brick pathway. The property also includes two paddocks, an orchard, and a wildlife pond, as well as a stable block and an ancient wood with many specimen trees. The area is rich in wildlife, with many rare and nationally scarce species recorded, including harvest mice, hazel dormice, and lesser horseshoe bats. The property is located near the coastal towns of Budleigh Salterton, Exmouth, and Sidmouth, as well as the cathedral city of Exeter.
