DESCRIPTION
Having been meticulously upgraded in a sympathetic manor by its current owners, Faunstone Cottage offers a spectacular opportunity to live amongst peaceful rural surroundings yet still be conveniently just a short drive from the nearby town of Plympton where local amenities can be found.

From the garden room a door leads into the entrance hallway which houses one of the two staircases to the first floor accommodation and also provides a useful storage cupboard. The hallway then gives access into the living accommodation, beginning with the substantial farmhouse kitchen with feature aga, stable door to the gardens and a delightful breakfast area. Next to the kitchen is a ground floor bathroom with modern fixtures including bath with shower over, hand basin and WC. Across the entrance hallway is the main sitting room, a wonderfully bright space with two windows overlooking the gardens, beamed ceiling and a feature stone fireplace housing a wood burning stove. A spiral staircase sits nicely in the corner of the room rising to the first floor accommodation and a set of double doors lead into a charming multi-purpose room which is currently used as a snug and occasional fourth bedroom. Finishing the ground floor accommodation is a superb, contemporary, open plan family room and dining room which has a delightful triple aspect along with double opening doors to the rear garden. The first floor is split into two halves and accessed via two separate staircases. The stairs rising from the entrance hallway lead to the master bedroom, a private suite with dressing area, fitted wardrobes and useful eaves storage; including a large cupboard on the landing. Heading up the spiral staircase in the sitting room, two further large double bedrooms can be found which also boast fitted wardrobes and each have a useful vanity unit.
