Situation - Broadclyst is a conveniently situated village, within an easy commute of Exeter, with an active community and an excellent range of amenities and day to day facilities, including churches, pubs, Post Office and stores, well-regarded primary school as well as Clyst Vale Community College secondary school. Both Killerton House and Ashclyst Forest, which are owned by the National Trust, are located nearby and offer wonderful recreational areas for riding, cycling and walking.
The cathedral city of Exeter offers many cultural attractions as well as comprehensive educational facilities, including private schools, sixth form college and university (a member of the Russell Group). The nearby B3181 offers swift access to Junction 29 (Exeter) of the M5 and the A30 (Exeter), providing easy access to the rest of the country, including London and Bristol to the north and east and Cornwall to the south. There are regular rail services to London Paddington from Exeter St David's and to London Waterloo from Whimple. Exeter Airport provides a number of domestic and international flights.
Description - Forches Head Cottage is set along the country lane, under a mile from the village, with views across the surrounding countryside. The cottage is very versatile with accommodation extending to just over 1,750 sq. ft. There is plenty of scope for a new owner to continue to add their own mark subject to the necessary consents. Part of the accommodation could be used independently for accommodating extended family, if required.
The property in total extends to 0.3 acres with private level gardens extending to the west, including a garage, useful garden outbuilding and a former poultry shed.
Accommodation - Approached from the parking area, the entrance porch leads to an inner hall with door to cloakroom. The spacious double aspect kitchen has plenty of space for a dining table with an extensive range of wall and base units and appliances. Beyond here is the utility providing space for laundry appliances. There are two good size reception rooms. The double aspect sitting room includes a fireplace with wood burner and one of the two staircases to the first floor, whilst in the family room is the second staircase to the first floor and external door to the front. From here a door opens to the scullery, fitted with units and appliances, although could be used as a further reception room or hobby room.
To the first floor are three double bedrooms all benefiting from en suites. Two of the bedrooms are accessed from the main staircase. The principal bedroom overlooks the garden and surrounding countryside and includes an en suite bathroom with separate shower, whilst the second bedroom is to the front of the house and includes an en suite shower room.

There is a separate cladded outbuilding, which is divided into two separate rooms, plus a storage cupboard and cloakroom. To the far end of the garden is a former poultry shed, which is currently used for storage. The buildings offer further potential, subject to gaining the necessary consents.
