Stokeinteignhead, Newton Abbot

Rosemary Cottage is an archetypal chocolate box DETACHED THATCHED DEVON COTTAGE with matching DETACHED SELF CONTAINED HOLIDAY COTTAGE, we believe dating back to the 17th century, circa 1641, being grade II listed. The cottage enjoys an attractive garden with pergola covered decked terrace and two allocated parking spaces.

The village of Stokeinteignhead is serenely set between the coastal towns of Torquay and Teignmouth, both offering an array of amenities, leisure activities and mooring facilities, and the market town of Newton Abbot with railway station providing direct links to most major cities. Locally, fine dining at Orestone Manor or the traditional ambiance of a village pub can be enjoyed within close proximity

OWNER INSIGHT

When we first saw the cottage, we knew it would become our home the moment we walked through the door, seeking a rural setting away from pressure of modern life. We gradually restored the property, yet retaining the charm you would expect from cob walls, thatched roof and inglenook fireplace. The holiday unit is perfect to generate some income and periodic use for our family and friends". The location has just been as perfect as the property! We can stroll to the local pubs or walk out onto the local South West Coast Path, the beach at Maidencombe is not far at all, it really is the best of both worlds, countryside all round and the coast just moments away. It gives a feeling of being miles from anywhere, but it is really accessible".
