Description

Step Into Your Very Own Storybook Romance at Abbey Cottage

If you’ve ever dreamed of living in a setting straight out of The Holiday—where time slows, nature wraps around you like a comforting quilt, and history whispers through ancient stone walls—then Abbey Cottage may just steal your heart.

Nestled within 0.75 acres of private, sheltered gardens, this Grade II listed, stone-built cottage is a true rural hideaway. Tucked beneath a charming thatched roof and framed by the ivy-clad remnants of a 13th-century Cistercian Abbey, the property offers a rare blend of historic character, modern comfort, and movie-scene tranquility.
For Garden Lovers and Daydreamers...

Wander through your very own secret garden filled with mature trees, box hedging, and sun-dappled lawns. Tend to your plants in the greenhouse, potter in the large garden shed, or simply sit with a book and a cup of tea under the leafy canopy, with the Abbey ruins as your backdrop.

For History Enthusiasts... Live within history itself—where the Abbey walls once witnessed monks at prayer, today you’ll host summer picnics, garden parties, or quiet moments of reflection.

For Cosy Winter Evenings...Inside, you’ll find two character-filled reception rooms, each with impressive inglenook fireplaces—one housing a wood-burning stove, the other featuring an oil-fired AGA and an original bread oven. Exposed beams, latch doors, and sloping eaves add to the storybook feel. Upstairs, three double bedrooms offer peaceful spaces to unwind. The upstairs hallway has large built in cupboards offering ample storage.

For Modern Living (With Character Intact)... A newly fitted kitchen and shower room, updated carpets throughout, and a recently installed LPG combi boiler bring 21st-century comfort to this timeless home. The property benefits from a modern treatment plant discreetly tucked away in the garden. High-speed internet access allows WFH, streaming and gaming.

Practical Perks (Because Even Dream Homes Need Them)... There’s extensive driveway parking for up to six cars, a detached stone and thatch garage/workshop, and previous (now lapsed) planning consent for a stunning green oak and glass garden room extension: Fast road links to the M5 and nearby market towns mean you’re connected—but blissfully removed.

For Families… You’re within the Uffculme School catchment area, with a school bus stop just a short stroll away. For primary school children, Hemlock Primary is a feeder

For Those Seeking Peace, Privacy, and a Life Less Ordinary... Abbey Cottage isn’t just a property. It’s an escape. A love story waiting to unfold. A sanctuary for garden lovers, history aficionados, romantic souls, and anyone longing for space, silence, and beauty.

Viewings are strictly by appointment with Pilkington. But be warned… one look, and you’ll be hooked.

About Pilkington Estates, Stoke

Harscombe House 1Darklake View, Plymouth, PL6 7TL

Buying and selling property is both an art and a science. In the 21st century, the world of estate agency has blossomed in the digital environment, leaving many traditional firms left standing, eyeing the technology with confusion and suspicion rather than embracing it. The team at Pilkington Estates are digital natives, embracing everything the modern world has to offer to help present your home in the best possible light, and using technology to get the right message to the right buyer at the right time.

This contemporary, no nonsense approach is balanced by a sensitivity and empathy towards their customers, both buyers and sellers, that allows us to offer a truly one to one bespoke service.

We understand that every customer is different, and each client has different needs and requirements, so will customise any modern method of selling to suit individual requirements.

Whether you are an old hand with multiple sales under your belt, or whether you are selling a much loved family home for the first time, Pilkington Estates are careful to hand hold you through the process as much or as little as you need.

We can help keep your house hunting enthusiasm burning with intelligent recommendations or can take the strain of the entire relocation process by doing all the running around that you are too busy to do.

We sit comfortably in this fast-paced world, understanding your need for urgency. We bring an energy and confidence to the whole buying and selling process that will get the job done without the drama.

This is not an agency that likes to sit around waiting for the phone to ring!
