A winning combination of traditional charm and modern d esign makes this Grade II listed detached thatched cottage a standout opportunity.

The current owners have extended into a former barn to provide a spacious kitchen with vaulted ceilings, large picture window s overlook ing the rear courtyard, under floor heating and plenty of work surfaces. Steps lead up from here to a charming dining room with an outlook over a cottage garden, open fireplace and ornately carved recessed cupboard.

Steps lead on to a Study or guest bedroom which has patio doors leading to the rear garden. The rear lobby leads into a large freezer room wh ich was formerly the kitchen, but could now be used as a good sized office or hobby room. There is also a newly installed modern family bathroom with separate shower cubicle.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms and a single, all with front facin g aspects and views towards Dartmoor National Park in the distance.

Outside, the gardens form a real feature of the property, with both formal and casual garden areas, a private al fresco dinin g area, approached by a footbridge over a gently trickling st ream; productive vegetable garden and a small orchard. Two large areas of lawn are dissected by a timber pergola, and the top half of the garden has potential for a building plot, subject to the necessary planning permissions being sought.
