SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION

An historic detached cottage which has been beautifully and recently refurbished into a stylish character home offering a sizeable driveway, gated parking and double garage.

Bere Alston is a village on a tranquil peninsula away from major road noise benefiting from its own railway station linking to in approximately 20 minutes. The village is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Devon side of the Tamar Valley and is noted as World Heritage Site. There is a variety of shops including a hairdressers and a post office/stores/bakery. There are cafes and a takeaway plus a village pub. Bere Alston also has a doctors' surgery and pharmacy along with an historic primary school. There are many wonderful walks in the area which are a short distance from the door. and Yelverton are approximately 15 minutes by a car.

The cottage has a south facing garden with attractive planted borders, glimpse views over distant countryside and a detached outbuilding with insulation and mains power which could be used as a home office/studio. We believe the cottage could date back 200 years (not listed) and has been extended to the side and rear creating a balanced living space which provides areas for entertaining and relaxing plus a garden room with a small wood burning stove for winter months. The interior of the home is immaculately interspersed with notable character and stone features, including the original fireplace with a further wood burner and traditional clome oven. There are two entrances to the cottage with a side porch hidden from view on the western elevation or from the rear through the single or double doors of the garden room.

The accommodation comprises porch, sitting room, dining room with study area, kitchen opening to a further kitchen/utility area, garden room and bathroom. To the first floor are two double bedrooms, ensuite shower room and walk-in wardrobe. The property is warmed by a mains gas central heating system, two wood burners, PVCu double glazing and further insulation measures.

OUTSIDE: The property is approached from a brick paved driveway which leads to double gates creating a further secure parking area in front of the detached double garage which has mains power and lighting plus a plug in point for a camper van. There is also an area for hiding the bin/recycling containers. Due to the size of the garage we believe there is scope to create ancillary accommodation, annex/holiday let (subject to planning approval).

The driveway leads to the colourful rear garden which is mainly lawned and surrounded by planted flower beds with established shrubs and trees. There is a raised terrace ideal for table and chairs which has LED lighting for the evening. There is also a useful shed and a sheltered pergola/BBQ area which is attached to a further wooden constructed outbuilding which could be a home office/studio and is currently a little bar for friends. A side gate allows access back to the side elevation and entrance porch. The garden is very private and is secure making it ideal for pets etc, bounded by sturdy wooden fencing, stone/brick walls and wire fencing.
