A wonderful unlisted period cottage offering deceptively roomy accommodation located on the edge of the ancient town of Buckfastleigh. Brimming with character and period-style features, this cottage also offers an attractive contemporary twist internally.
Buckfastleigh with its famous Abbey, situated on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, has become particularly sought-after over recent years with its pretty town centre offering an excellent range of shops and services including small independent traders, coffee shops and pubs/restaurants. For the commuter, the A38 Devon Expressway is within a mile's drive, offering dual-carriageway access south to Plymouth and Cornwall, and north to Exeter and the M5 beyond.
Accommodation
Stepping inside, a large, part-glazed period-style wooden front door opens to a hallway with tiled floor, storage recess for coats etc, back door to the garden and stairs to the first floor. Off the hall is the living room which features a superb open fireplace with exposed stonework and 2 double glazed windows overlooking the garden. Partially open plan to the living room is a well-proportioned kitchen/breakfast room which is flooded with natural light through 2 windows and having a double-height vaulted ceiling high above part of the kitchen with 3 Velux windows, the other part having a first floor gallery over-looking the kitchen. The kitchen has a tiled floor, a selection of cabinets and plenty of space for a breakfast table and chairs. The gallery above can be accessed either from bedroom 1 on the first floor or by its own turning staircase from the kitchen and is a real feature of the property, providing an L-shaped reception area and has glazed French doors to the garden. Completing the ground floor is a spacious bathroom with 3-piece period-style white suite with shower over the bath.
On the first floor, a landing has stripped timber doors leading into bedrooms 1 and 2, both doubles with features including exposed stonework and fitted wardrobes, bedroom 1 with a beautiful period fireplace and door to the gallery and bedroom 2 with a door and window to the garden. Off the landing is a useful separate WC with basin. Completing the accommodation is bedroom 3, located on the second floor, being another double and particularly light and airy with 3 Velux roof lights and 2 windows.
Parking
Good sized parking bay to the front for 1 large vehicle or potentially 2 smaller vehicles.
Garden
Wonderful cottage garden to one side, being fully-enclosed and most secluded. Presented on various levels including a deck, extensive planting, terraces and lawn.
