FAMILY BATHROOM . FRONT & REAR GARDENS . GARAGE/WORKSHOP . OFF ROAD PARKING This is a rare opportunity to acquire a Grade II Listed, end of terrace thatched cottage which is located in the sought after village of Sigford. The property’s accommodation comprises 3 bedrooms, living room, kitchen & family bathroom. Externally, there is a detached single garage/workshop & front & rear gardens. This end of terrace, Grade II Listed, three-bedroom thatched cottage with gardens to the front and rear, an outbuilding/store and separate detached garage/workshop, is set in the delightful rural hamlet of Sigford in the beautiful Dartmoor countryside yet only 1.5 miles from the A38/Devon Expressway. The nearby village of Ilsington provides a community-run shop and a busy public house and the popular Dartmoor towns of Bovey Tracey and Ashburton have a fine array of individual shops, delicatessens, galleries, professional services and antique shops. Several highly-regarded primary and secondary schools, both public and private, can be found in the area. The A38 makes commuting to the cities of Plymouth and Exeter easy, Exeter having an international airport with many scheduled flights. Main-line railway stations with direct links to London Paddington can be found in the bustling towns of Newton Abbot and Totnes. A rare opportunity to own a piece of history, this beautiful home is an excellent example. From the road this beautiful thatched cottage looks like it has come straight from an image on a picture post card or chocolate box. The lawns and mature gardens to the front and rear, borders tastefully planted with a variety of shrubs, plants, roses and wild flowers and fruit trees, have been impeccably maintained by the current owners who clearly have green fingers. A narrow gravel path leads from the road through the front garden to the front door. The cottage is bursting with character and it feels like stepping back in time as I enter the property through the half glazed barn door into cosy living room. A low ceiling with beams, thick uneven walls and plush carpet give an instant feeling of warmth. The impressive granite and natural stone fireplace with decorative brick hearth housing a wood burning stove makes a wonderful feature. Handmade, original doors with wrought iron latches at either side of the room lead through into two bedrooms. Both are double sized rooms with wooden floorboards, various shelving and both have cushioned window seats, perfect for sitting with a cup of tea w atching the birds feeding in the garden. The front bedroom also has a built-in wardrobe and a roof hatch allowing access to the loft. A further door to the rear of the living room gives access to a bright third double bedroom or garden room as the current owners have it laid out. This is a later addition to the property with a gently sloping slate roof and glazed double doors that open out into the rear secluded garden. A carpeted staircase leads down from the living room to the lower ground floor where the accommodation continues with a bathroom and spacious kitchen. The functional bathroom has a tiled floor and the suite comprises a bath with mixer shower and curved glass screen, basin and WC. The kitchen has a tiled floor, a butler sink, fan oven, solid wood worktops with timber panelling to the walls above. Another impressive granite fireplace is this time filled with an oil fired Aga and everything is very much in keeping with this lovely cottages style and character. Out through the kitchen is a utility room that runs the full width of the property with a painted concrete floor. This room provides additional space for storage, a freezer or other white goods or somewhere to keep the push bikes perhaps. A part-glazed rustic wooden door at both ends of the room, complete with wooden bolts, give access to the pretty, natural stone-walled garden to the front and to a small courtyard to the rear which leads to a stone built, slate roofed outbuilding/storage shed and outside WC for the hardier folk! OUTSIDE Tiled concrete steps from the courtyard lead up to the secluded rear garden with a small greenhouse and oil tank hidden behind some flowering bushes. There is a garden table and seating ideal for alfresco dining or enjoying a bottle of wine maybe, and natural flagstones pave a way through an archway to a double garage/workshop. A gravelled area to the front of the garage provides additional off-road parking for two cars.
