Description - Charisma Cottage enjoys a prime position just off the historic village square in the charming and highly regarded village of Drewsteignton.

Rich in original features including exposed beams, stone fireplaces and a charming thatched storm porch, the property offers versatile family accommodation arranged over two floors. The welcoming principal reception room is filled with natural light from two south-facing windows and centres around an attractive feature fireplace with decorative tiled inset. The generous kitchen/dining room is particularly appealing, featuring exposed stonework, oak detailing and a traditional bio-fuel range, creating a warm and inviting heart to the home.

Of particular note is the striking garden room extension, a superb contemporary addition with skylight and full-width bi-fold doors opening onto the gardens, flooding the space with light and creating an exceptional connection between the house and its surroundings. A useful study/hobbies room, secondary kitchen/utility and stylish ground floor wet room add further flexibility, with underfloor heating throughout this section powered by the eco-conscious pellet boiler system.
