1 Church Cottages is a picturesque Grade II listed thatched cottage, full of character and charm. Set in the heart of the village of East Buckland, on the edge of Exmoor, this delightful home offers a rare opportunity to own a 'chocolate box' cottage.

Inside, the property features a remarkably spacious main bedroom, a cosy single bedroom, and a host of original period features including oak beams, fireplaces, original deep pine windowsills and solid internal ledged doors. The property also benefits from a pretty enclosed garden to the front and an additional larger garden positioned just a short distance from the property.

The kitchen is well fitted, offering ample cupboard space, exposed oak beams, and matching wall cabinets and drawers. Integrated appliances include a single oven, four-ring ceramic hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine.

The lounge is a particularly charming room with a working multi-fuel wood-burner set within an inglenook fireplace, complete with a period 'Castle Hill' stove frontal.

Upstairs, the landing leads to two bedrooms and a bathroom. The principal bedroom is generously proportioned and enjoys countryside views through wooden single-glazed windows to the front and over the churchyard to the rear. A period fireplace and built-in cupboard with hanging rail.

The bathroom has been updated with a contemporary white suite, including a P-shaped panelled bath with shower over, WC, and a round counter-top basin set on a deep oak windowsill.

The second bedroom is a small single bedroom or alternatively could be used as a study.

Externally, the property offers a small, fully enclosed cottage style front garden, perfect for alfresco dining, with a pathway leading to the charming thatched porch.
