DESCRIPTION

Rose Cottage is believed to be one of the oldest property’s in the picturesque coastal village of Downderry and exudes a huge amount of charm from its characterful exterior.

The most recent works include a refitted kitchen, newly replaced rear decking with glass frontage. This delightful cottage would make an ideal main home or the perfect holiday home/lock-up and leave.

The accommodation is much larger than one might expect, having three superb double bedrooms all with en-suite bath/shower rooms and a study/occasional fourth bedroom. There are two lovely reception rooms on the ground floor comprising a dining room and separate sitting room, both of which have recessed windows overlooking front terraces and both have fireplaces with woodburning stoves. 3 Ref: LCAA8198

To the rear of the property is a 41’ long galley style kitchen which has very recently been refitted with a range of coastal fronted units, Silestone worktops and integrated appliances including a built-in oil fired Heritage range that supplies cooking facilities, hot water and central heating.

The principle bedroom is on the ground floor and has a superb en-suite shower room, large double wardrobe and double glazed doors opening onto a secluded front deck which enjoys sun throughout the day. The two double bedrooms on the first floor both have en-suite shower/bathrooms, one has a walk-in wardrobe and further double wardrobe and both enjoy sea views.

Up behind the property is a further large decked terrace which has recently been replaced and this area enjoys stunning sea and coastal views stretching from to Island. Although the property does not have the benefit of any private parking, there is unrestricted parking on street just along the road and a nearby municipal car park where season tickets are available.

LOCATION

Rose Cottage enjoys one of the most convenient possible settings within the highly sought after coastal village of Downderry as it is within a short walk of the village shop/post office, a pub, and local restaurant. Several footpaths nearby run down to a long sandy beach which stretches all the way along the coast, all the way down to Seaton. This, for many, will be one of the most ideal environments in which to either live or enjoy family holidays and as such would also help the cottage over and above its immaculate presentation to achieve excellent holiday letting income.
