This unique detached cottage has been lovingly restored and maintained by the current owners in line with Grade II Listed guidelines, with a host of modern improvements designed to enhance comfort and functionality while respecting the property’s historic character. Works include the installation of a Positive Air System in the loft, professional damp treatment to the stone walls, partial rendering and decorating, and a recently replaced flat roof. The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped around an ancient stone wall, creating a peaceful and private outdoor space, complete with a home office/studio (Biohort) with power supply, set on a level patio.

The interior is laid out over three floors and immediately impresses upon entry via a bespoke solid timber door. The ground floor is open-plan, featuring a cleverly designed kitchen with a central island, breakfast bar, granite work surfaces, tiled splashbacks, and integrated appliances including an electric hob, double oven, combi microwave/grill, fridge freezer, and dishwasher. A walk-in pantry provides additional storage, while a fireplace with a wood-burning stove creates a warm, welcoming focal point adjacent to the dining area.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises a spacious, light-filled living room, a large double principal bedroom, and a modern bathroom with both a bath and a separate glazed shower. A utility room with sink and washing machine provides additional convenience, with direct access to the garden.

The second floor accommodates two further double bedrooms, a WC, and dormer windows, with some restricted head height adding character to the upper level.

The garden is a highlight, accessible via two paths from the property and the front road, converging on a level patio area with home office/studio and scenic views across to Dartmoor. Mature plants, trees, and seating areas create a tranquil retreat, while parking is available in the single garage and on the road where possible.

This property combines historic charm, modern comforts, and an exceptional outdoor space, making it a truly special home in a remarkable setting.
