2 Courtenay Cottages is a solid, 1940s semi-detached home occupying an exceptional plot within the highly regarded village of Washfield. Siding onto open fields, the house occupies a glorious position and offers a great footprint with clear potential to extend and adapt (subject to necessary planning consents), combining a semi-rural setting with the convenience of being just a short drive from the amenities of Tiverton.
A standout highlight of the ground floor is the open-plan kitchen and dining room. The space forms a bright, sociable hub with plenty of room for family dining and relaxed living. Flooded with natural light, the room looks straight out across the property's headline feature: the expansive garden and the countryside beyond. The ground floor also includes an entrance hallway, a comfortable sitting room centred around a multi-fuel stove set in a tiled surround, and a practical rear hall with understairs storage, a ground-floor WC, and access outside.
Upstairs, a central landing leads to three bedrooms and the family bathroom, which is fitted with a double shower cubicle, white suite, and a built-in airing cupboard. Two of the bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles, while the third single bedroom takes in elevated views across the adjoining fields.
The outside space is without question the property's main selling point. Rarely do homes in this bracket offer such a generous, mature plot, particularly one siding straight onto open farmland with an open, peaceful backdrop.
Mainly laid to lawn and bordered by established hedging, the garden provides complete privacy and generous space for family life, pets, vegetable patches, and outbuildings. At the very top of the garden, there is a wonderful apple tree orchard, which is currently home to some free range chickens. To the front of the property, there is ample, private off-road parking for multiple vehicles. Given the plot's generous proportions and precedents set by neighbouring properties, there is outstanding scope to extend the house significantly to the side or rear.
Washfield is known for its warm, active, and friendly village community, centred around the historic parish church and village hall, which hosts regular local events. The surrounding Mid Devon countryside offers an abundance of footpaths and scenic walks right from the doorstep.
While offering a tranquil rural feel, the property is just a few minutes' drive (around 2.5 miles) from Tiverton, and falls within the catchment of the sought-after Bolham Primary School, serviced by a free school bus. The town provides extensive shopping, leisure amenities, Petroc College, and Blundell's School. For commuters, the A361 North Devon Link Road offers fast access to Junction 27 of the M5 and Tiverton Parkway railway station for direct trains to London Paddington.
