The Village, North Bovey, Newton Abbot, Devon

A delightful, unlisted period cottage set in the picturesque moorland village of North Bovey, beside the village green and moments from the village’s historic Grade I listed parish church. The property benefits from an attached garage and a beautiful south-west facing rear garden. The stunning countryside of Dartmoor is just moments away, offering miles of walking, cycling and riding routes to explore.

Oak Tree Cottage is a detached property offering almost 2 000 sq. ft of characterful accommodation arranged over three light-filled floors. There are attractive white-rendered elevations outside, while inside the cottage offers three bedrooms and four comfortable, flexible reception rooms. These include the well-proportioned sitting room and the garden room, which welcomes plenty of natural light and opens onto the patio garden. Also on the ground floor is a well-equipped kitchen with fitted units, an Aga, and space for all the necessary appliances. A dining room adjoins the kitchen in a semi open-plan layout while a utility room/store offers generous space for further appliances and home storage. The utility room also provides front and rear access to the cottage and provides a useful cloakroom.

On the first floor there are three well-presented double bedrooms, including one with an en suite shower room. Additionally, the first floor has a family bathroom with a bath and a separate shower unit. Further up on the second floor there is an attic room with skylights overhead, which is ideal for use as an office or studio, or could be used as a fourth bedroom if required.

The cottage lies in a central position within the village beside the beautiful village green. There is an attached garage at the side of the cottage, which could also be used as a workshop or provide development opportunities subject to obtaining the necessary consents. The garden at the rear is south-west facing and has paved terracing, three ornamental ponds and various colourful beds with established shrubs and perennials. At the borders there is high timber fencing and hedgerows, creating a sense of peace and privacy.
