the details…
A characterful, mid terrace thatched cottage, with three-bedrooms and courtyard garden, in the heart of the sought-after village of Ilsington. Situated in the centre of the peaceful and picturesque village, a short walk from the village pub and community shop/post office, and only a ten-minute drive to the town of Bovey Tracey with its more extensive range of amenities, it is perfectly situated.
A stable door opens in from the age-worn cobbled pavement, into the living room of this wonderful property, which has been sympathetically extended to create a surprisingly spacious family home, with many character features, including thick, uneven walls, asymmetrical rooms, and a fabulous fireplace.
The living room is a nice size with beautiful oak flooring, an open staircase to the first floor, and a fabulous, stone, inglenook fireplace, with a slate hearth and huge oak lintel, fitted with a wood-burning stove, which provides the carbon neutral heating for the property, and makes a wonderful feature and focal point for the room.
The good-sized kitchen has a tiled floor, flush fitting spotlights in the ceiling, illuminating the bespoke antique-pine cupboards, with pine worktops and what the owner loves most… tiled splashbacks, and a range cooker with a five-burner gas hob provides excellent cooking facilities. A utility room to the side, has plumbing for a "Ilsington has such a fantastic community". washing machine, and plenty of floor space for an upright fridge/freezer and other white goods.
Oak steps with hinged treads, provide innovative storage beneath, and lead up into a wonderful, modern dining area, with brilliant white walls, an oak floor with a trap-door providing more hidden storage, a vaulted ceiling in an orangery style with a skylight at its apex, and tri -folding triple-glazed doors that open fully to extend the inside space outside into the walled, southwest- facing courtyard garden with a beautiful paved patio, perfect for a family barbecue or for sharing a bottle of wine in the evening summer sunshine.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms, one double and two good singles, light and airy, and beautifully presented with pine architraves, skirting boards and doors. The bathroom is spacious, with a durable vinyl floor, a useful linen cupboard, a bath, separate shower, pedestal basin and WC, all in white. The landing has plenty of light from a window to the side, and a hatch in the ceiling provides access to the loft, with an integral ladder, plenty of additional storage and a modern hot water cylinder, with an immersion heater.
Parking is on-road and generally plentiful within the village. There also is an allotment garden situated around the corner, adjacent to the Carpenters Arms. The allotment is owned by the property and is ideal for those who enjoy gardening and want to grow their own produce.
