A delightful, almost ideal thatched country home, nestled within a expansive 6,000-acre estate, is up for grabs at a remarkably affordable £650,000, situated in the core of Devon.
In the heart of the National Trust's 6,000-acre Killerton Estate in the West Country lies a delightful three-bedroom thatched home, known as Cubby Close Cottage. This picturesque property, recently refurbished while maintaining its period features, is now up for sale at £650,000.
Toby Keel, the Digital Director of the platform, has been managing the website and social media since 2016. He has written extensively about property, cars, lifestyle, travel, and nature, and this week, Cubby Close Cottage is among the best country houses for sale that he features.
The house boasts a spacious living room, a kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room, two bathrooms, a conservatory, and three modestly-sized bedrooms. The glorious country kitchen is a highlight, with a huge traditional Aga set in an alcove created from ancient gnarled beams.
The gardens, three-quarters of an acre in size, are surrounded by fields and woodland, with the River Culm close by. This idyllic setting provides a perfect backdrop for the property, which also benefits from being leased, not owned, with a 90-year lease and a ground rent of just £10 a year.
For those seeking a staycation destination in the region, the platform offers guides to South Devon and Dorset, showcasing where to go, what to see, where to stay, and what to eat. Exeter, eight miles away from Cubby Close Cottage, offers a range of amenities and attractions for visitors.
