Location

Ermington is set amid delightful countryside. It has a public house, a restaurant, excellent community shop and cafe, a highly regarded Primary School and for secondary schooling it is in the catchment area of Ivybridge Community College. The village has a welcoming community feel with various activities including a Summer Fair and cricket team. Nearby is the charming market town of Modbury, which offers a range of independent shops, post office, butchers, Co-op, 3 pubs, health centre, dentist, and a veterinary surgery.

Accomodation

The property is entered from what was originally the rear of the cottage, but is now used as the main entrance given its proximity to the garage and parking area. One enters via a small vestibule area with a cloakroom to one side and a further door leading to a generous utility room with plenty of space for laundry, coats, boots and other recreational clothing/equipment. The kitchen/dining room just off here is a lovely room with a slate tiled floor, understairs storage cupboard and a comprehensive range of wooden fronted fitted units with granite work surfaces over incorporating an integrated dishwasher, Rangemaster oven and space for a fridge. There is a window overlooking the lovely garden and towards the woodland beyond with the back door adjacent. The dining area with a large window overlooking the pretty garden has oak flooring and a lovely feature fireplace with a double sided wood burning stove and a staircase at the rear of the room. Next door is a large sitting room running the full depth of the property, with a feature fireplace with the back to back wood burner and French doors leading out to the terrace and garden. Upstairs are four bedrooms, three of which have a delightfully sunny aspect with lovely views over the garden towards the woodland beyond. The master bedroom has a well-appointed and modern en-suite with a walk-in shower and the family bathroom has a bath with shower over.

Outside

The garden is a particularly lovely element of this charming cottage. It is totally enclosed and safe for children and pets. From the paved terrace next to the house the lawn stretches in a south easterly direction with planted beds either side and a paved path, down to a further paved area. This area is also planted with shrubs and trees and offers a lovely view back towards the cottage. A good sized timber shed provides ample storage for garden equipment. A small pedestrian gate (access shared with neighbours) at the bottom of the garden gives access to the road. At the rear (or what is now used as the front) of the property is a garage with a large double parking area adjacent and further parking directly outside the cottage.
