Just 10 minutes from Crediton and less than 2 miles to Copplestone, with its shop, primary school, and both rail and bus links, is the sought after Mid Devon village of Coleford. It’s a quiet, accessible and pretty village with miles of country walks surrounding as well as The New Inn, a thatched gastro pub with a large beer garden. It’s an unspoiled part of Mid Devon without being isolated.
Sunnybank is technically an end terraced property but its orientation and situation on the edge of the village makes it more like a detached cottage with its own front and side gardens, plus its own access in. It occupies a good sized plot which is a mix of lawn and paving, making it a private (the garden is slightly elevated from the country lane) and year round garden, ideal for those with pets or children! The cottage is Grade II listed which is no surprise in such a quintessential village. It’s actually a generous footprint with a large living room (complete with wood-burner) and room for a table and chairs. The kitchen is also well fitted with ample cupboard and worktop space plus built in electric appliances and there’s room for a table and chairs here too. Accessed from outside is a useful utility room with sink and space for a washing machine so ideal to keep things separate from the kitchen. On the first floor are 2 double bedrooms, the master with a large walk in wardrobe and the family bathroom is also on the first floor.
Outside, there’s no off-road parking but parking is available on the road nearby which is unrestricted. There’s a gated front path and a couple of steps leading to the front door and a pretty front garden with planted beds, lawn and an attractive stone wall. There are separate areas of lawn and paving, providing a large outdoor seating area and a range of small outbuildings, ideal for storage or even conversion to a home office etc.

COLEFORD is a journey back in time, a prime example of a traditional Devon hamlet. It is a designated conservation area, with a whole host of irreplaceable listed cottages and buildings. It is also home to ‘The New Inn’, known locally for its outstanding food. It is no secret that Coleford is a beautiful village – but it is also fit for a king. King Charles 1 is said to have visited Coleford during the civil war, stabling his horses there on the 22nd of July 1644, and inspecting his troops from the porch of Spencer Cottage. The nearest market town to Coleford, for a selection of modern facilities is Crediton – 3 miles to the west.
