Causen Cottage, The Grove, Totnes

DESCRIPTION 

Luscombe Maye are delighted to bring to market Causen Cottage, an elegant and charming home that sits within in a beautiful stone walled garden offering privacy and seclusion in the heart of Totnes. The main home offers open downstairs living, utility room, three bedrooms and the music reception room that has approved planning permission to be converted and extended into a two bedroom, study, two bath cottage with courtyard garden. Within the courtyard, there is also the self contained, one bedroom 'Pottery'.   

Stepping into the property, the front door opens into the beautiful open plan living room with parquet flooring and exposed beams throughout. The dining area allows for a large family dining table, perfect for entertaining with the light and airy, lounge area complimented by a central stone fireplace. The kitchen comprises matching floor and wall units and is fitted with electric oven, dishwasher and sink with space for a fridge freezer. There is also a utility room with space and plumbing for washing machine with a WC and shower unit. 

Ascending the set of stairs from the living space, the master bedroom enjoys built-in wardrobes and south facing views over Totnes town and the countryside beyond. The second bedroom has dual aspect views with double doors opening onto the walled garden patio with its own WC and sink. The third bedroom is a generous single, that would also make a great home study space. The family bathroom is fitted with WC, sink, and bath with airing cupboard. 

From the split level landing, the music/reception room is currently complimented by exposed beams, open ceiling height and doors onto the second garden but also obtains planning permission to become a  separate two bedroom dwelling with open plan living, terrace courtyard and garden. Please reference the 'brochures' below, available to download or use the ref 2915/24/FUL on the South Hams Planning Portal.  

The 'Pottery' is a separate and versatile space, with living area as you walk in with three piece bathroom and open double bedroom upstairs that is complimented by kitchen unit, dual aspect window and exposed beams. There is also a storage shed situated next to the Pottery.

The courtyard is entered via an arched wooden gate and leads to the main accommodation. At the rear of the plot the well maintained walled rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with mature plants and trees. Through another archway the lawn continues with vegetable beds and fruit trees.  The donkey sheds are currently used as storage and frame the side of the property. Outside, there are two allocated parking spaces with additional use of the courtyard if needs be. The extensive loft space is very well insulated and has the potential to  be utilised further with a loft conversion (SSTC).

TOTNES 

The unique and charming market town of Totnes sits above the River Dart in the heart of the South Hams. The town is one of Devon's gems, the birthplace of the Transition Town movement in England and nominated in British Airways' HighLife magazine as one of the world's top ten funky towns. Full of colour and character, its atmosphere is cosmopolitan with a West Country flavour and those looking for history, alternative therapies and beautiful countryside will find it in and around Totnes. The town is said to have more listed buildings per head of the population than anywhere else in Britain. With a twice-a-week market and full of small independent shops, it's well-known for ethical products, wholefoods and fair trade goods. It is the second oldest borough in England, with an ancient Guildhall and Church, a Norman Castle and its North and East Gates. There is a well-regarded community college and a mainline railway station and Dartmoor, the South Hams and many of its fine beaches are within easy reach.
