“Nestled in a picturesque South Hams village, this charming Grade II-listed Devon cottage is a rare gem, brimming with character and history. Built in 1700, it is one of the original houses in the village, its exterior largely unchanged over the centuries. Stone-built and painted in a classic cream hue with pale blue window frames, the cottage is adorned with a spectacular wisteria, adding to its timeless appeal. Inside, a wealth of period features including exposed timber beams, an inglenook fireplace and delightful alcoves enhance its unique charm.”
On the ground floor a welcoming slate-covered entrance porch leads into an inner hall, setting the tone for the cottage’s warm and inviting ambience. Opposite a practical utility/boot room, which includes a shower and downstairs WC, sits a versatile study that could also serve as an additional bedroom if needed.
At the heart of the home is a spacious drawing room, where a striking fireplace serves as the focal point. This flexible space offers ample room for both relaxation and dining
The inner hall with a pantry, gives access to a lovely traditional kitchen finished in a neutral palette and has plenty of space for a kitchen table and chairs, ideal for family dining. A rear door opens onto a charming cobbled path, leading to a substantial garden shed/room, offering endless possibilities.
Upstairs the master bedroom suite is bathed in natural light from its dualaspect windows and features a superb en-suite bathroom Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom are connected by a generous landing, wide enough to accommodate bookshelves and to create a useful study area
