St Davids, Devon

Description

Tucked away in a wonderfully convenient position just a stone’s throw from the historic Iron Bridge, this charming City Centre cottage is a particularly rare find. Combining period character with surprisingly generous and versatile accommodation arranged over three floors, the property offers an appealing blend of city living, space and privacy, with the added benefit of a single garage.

There is a lovely sense of warmth and character. The ground floor is centred around a generous sized lounge, where a large bay window to the front floods the room with natural light. A door provides direct access to the courtyard, creating a useful connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. A striking glass feature wall provides an interesting visual link through to the dining room, allowing light to flow between the two principal reception spaces while retaining a sense of separation.

The kitchen, dining room is equally generous, with a further bay window overlooking the front and a charming wood burner set within a brick surround, creating a lovely focal point and adding to the cottage’s atmosphere. From here, the room extends into the well-appointed kitchen, which has been designed in a modern country style and features an integrated oven and electric hob, space and plumbing for both a washing machine and dishwasher, together with part-tiled walls.

A traditional cottage-style door leads from the kitchen to a useful outside WC, which offers excellent potential to be converted into a dedicated utility space if required.

Stairs rise to the first floor landing, where there are three further bedrooms. Bedrooms two and three are both particularly good sized double rooms, each enjoying a pleasant front facing aspect, while bedroom four provides excellent flexibility and could equally lend itself to use as a home office, dressing room or nursery. The family bathroom is also positioned on this floor, with a bath and shower over which is fully tiled, wash hand basin, WC and radiator towel rail.

The top floor is dedicated to bedroom one, this is a fantastic sized room with an attractive outlook towards the church, reminding you just how close you are to the heart of the city. There is also a useful area within the room which could be transformed to create a dressing area, adding further versatility to this already generous space.

Outside, the property enjoys a surprisingly private and pleasant courtyard which wraps from the side through to the rear, providing a lovely area for outdoor seating, entertaining or simply enjoying a little sunshine away from the bustle of the city. There is also a front patio area and particularly unusually for a property in such a central location, a single garage, offering valuable off road parking or additional storage.
