Description

Nestled in a tucked away position close to the centre of this thriving Devonshire village, this beautifully maintained and presented Grade II Listed cottage has been lovingly cared for over the last 15 years by the current owners, who not only have re-thatched the roof but also re-slated the extension roof with reclaimed tiles to blend seamlessly with the Period detail of the cottage. There has also been a tasteful replacement kitchen window and a wonderful stable door that adds greatly to the charm of the property. The cottage is entered via a FRONT PORCH, essential in a country cottage for keeping muddy boots and coats. The ENTRANCE DOOR opens into the welcoming SITTING ROOM with Inglenook fireplace and inset burner. There are 2 windows admitting lots of natural light and two built-in storage cupboards, one housing the LPG gas boiler. Steps lead up the KITCHEN/DINING ROOM, a wonderfully characterful room with window and stable door, space for dining table, charming country style kitchen with range of eye and base level units and butler sink . A winding staircase leads to the FIRST FLOOR LANDING with doors off to the TWO DOUBLE BEDROOMS, both with windows, vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. Unusually for a cottage there is a FIRST FLOOR BATHROOM with white suite and electric shower over the bath.

OUTSIDE, the property is approached via wooden gates onto a PARKING AREA for one or two cars. There is a useful STORAGE AREA, next to which is a TIMBER STORAGE SHED. The gardens run down to the cottage and offers a seating area enjoying a sunny aspect, grass and some mature shrubs and small trees. Along the side of the cottage is a wooden store housing the LPG gas bottles and there is access along the back of the cottage. The gardens are a particular feature of the cottage and in the summer are delightful.
