DESCRIPTION
This delightful semi-detached character cottage offers a wealth of charm and character, thoughtfully arranged to provide warm, inviting and versatile living accommodation, enhanced by original features throughout.

To the ground floor, the accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to provide a delightful open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, but still retains designated areas for each space. Double patio doors lead directly into the rear garden and set centrally within the space is a feature stone chimney with feature fireplaces on either side, serving both the living area and the dining area. The living space provides plenty of room for a range of large furniture and enjoys a large picture window overlooking the rear gardens. At the rear of the property is an open plan kitchen/diner which is most spacious and provides room for a large table and chairs. A door leads to the rear of the property and the kitchen comprises a range of modern wall and base units with integrated appliances including oven, electric hob, cooker hood, dishwasher, fridge and freezer.
Stairs rise from the open-plan living space to a bright and airy first-floor landing, and beneath is a large storage cupboard. There are three bedrooms accessed from the landing and within this space are two useful storage cupboards. The bedrooms are all of generous double proportions and enjoy a pretty outlook over the garden and towards the River Erme. There is a newly fitted shower room serving the two smaller bedrooms, fitted with walk-in shower, toilet and basin. The master bedroom enjoys a private en-suite bathroom, comprising panelled bath with handheld shower, toilet and basin.

At the very rear of the property is a useful additional room, accessed via a path from the main entrance, which is currently a handy utility space with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer.

SITUATION
Garden Cottage enjoys an attractive position on the rural fringe of the highly sought-after South Hams village of Ermington, nestled within gently rolling countryside and benefiting from a peaceful semi-rural setting. Situated adjacent to the River Erme, the property enjoys a picturesque riverside outlook, although prospective purchasers should note that its proximity to the river means it lies within an area identified as having a High risk of flooding. Buyers are advised to make their own enquiries regarding flood risk and any associated insurance requirements. The property is located less than a mile from the heart of the village, which offers a welcoming community and a range of everyday amenities including a village shop, public house, parish church and the well-regarded primary school.

The surrounding South Hams countryside is renowned for its natural beauty, offering an abundance of scenic walks, outdoor pursuits and wildlife, with the River Erme quite literally on the doorstep. The nearby town of Ivybridge provides a wider range of amenities including supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, leisure facilities and secondary schooling, making it a popular choice for those seeking a balance between peaceful rural living and excellent commuter connections.

OUTSIDE
Externally the property is equally impressive. To the front, a neatly maintained lawn is complemented by a gravel pathway leading to a paved terrace and the main entrance, creating an attractive first impression. To the rear lies a generous, predominantly level lawned garden, offering an exceptional outdoor space for relaxing, entertaining and family enjoyment. Mature trees and established planting enhance the garden's charm and provide a delightful sense of privacy, while the beautiful River Erme forms the eastern boundary, creating a peaceful and tranquil setting with the sound of flowing water. Positioned to the northern side of the property is a charming stone-built outbuilding, providing excellent storage and further complementing the character of the cottage.
