Landscove, Ashburton

THE PROPERTY Bluebell Cottage is a beautifully presented character cottage, understood to date from the mid 1800s, set within a hamlet on the edge of Landscove. Sweet, individual and full of atmosphere, the cottage has been thoughtfully upgraded and styled to create a home with real warmth.

The ground floor is arranged as an open-plan living space, with an entrance area, bespoke kitchen units with oak work surfaces and a comfortable sitting area centred around a cast-iron multi-fuel burner. Exposed beams, painted timber and natural finishes give the room an easy, lived-in charm, while the open layout keeps the space practical and sociable.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, together with a stylish bathroom fitted with a white suite. Outside, the enclosed garden adds considerably to the appeal, with a level lawn and a very useful studio/work room with WC and wood-burner - ideal for home working, creative use or hobbies. 

ACCOMMODATION Bluebell Cottage is approached via a private shared pedestrian path, which leads to the rear of the cottage and immediately gives the home a tucked-away, tucked-in feeling. The front door opens directly into the main living space, setting an informal and welcoming tone from the outset.

Rather than being divided into smaller rooms, the ground floor is arranged as one open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room. This gives the cottage a natural sense of flow, with everyday life centred around one warm and characterful space. 

The kitchen sits comfortably to one side, fitted with bespoke units, oak work surfaces and a Belfast-style sink. Green painted cabinetry, timber detailing and open shelving bring a handmade quality that works beautifully with the age and style of the cottage, while still providing a practical working area for day-to-day use.

There is room within the open-plan layout for dining, allowing cooking, eating and relaxing to sit naturally together. The sitting area is arranged around the fireplace, where a cast-iron multi-fuel burner forms the heart of the room. Exposed beams, painted floorboards and softly textured finishes give the space depth and warmth, creating a cosy room for quiet evenings and relaxed weekend living. 

Stairs rise to the first floor, where the landing leads to two bedrooms and the bathroom. Bedroom one is the larger of the two, with a window to the front and built-in wardrobe storage. It has a calm, comfortable feel, with the proportions used carefully to create a room that feels settled and inviting. Bedroom two also offers built-in storage and is a beautifully useful room, equally suited to guests, a child's room or home working. Like the rest of the cottage, it has been arranged with care, making the most of every part of the space.

The bathroom is a real highlight. Beautifully finished in a soft, elegant style, it feels far more considered than a standard cottage bathroom. The white suite is set within a calm, well-composed interior, giving the room a boutique feel and adding to the overall impression that Bluebell Cottage has been upgraded with immense taste and a strong eye for detail. 

OUTSIDE Pedestrian access leads to the front door, offering a tucked away and attractive position.

From here, a tiered area with a gravelled pathway leads through a gate into the main garden. Well enclosed and mainly laid to lawn, the garden feels private, manageable and very much part of the cottage's appeal.

At the end of the garden is the separate studio/work room, a particularly valuable addition to the property. The studio has glazed double doors opening to the garden. It includes a WC, a cast-iron wood-burner and an area suitable for a tall fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer, giving it genuine practical use as well as lifestyle appeal.

Attached to the studio is further storage, ideal for garden equipment, tools, bikes or logs. Together, the studio and storage space add a level of versatility not often found in a cottage of this size.
