Tucked away on the edge of the ever-popular village of Ashwater, East Down Cottage offers the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and modern comfort. This 4/5 bedroom detached country home has been beautifully renovated and extended by the current owners, creating a home that is both welcoming and practical, while retaining an abundance of character.

The heart of the home is the stunning triple-aspect kitchen and dining room, finished to a superb standard and bathed in natural light – the ideal space for family gatherings and entertaining. A step down leads to a charming living area, centred around a striking double-sided wood-burning stove set in a stone fireplace, creating a cosy retreat on cooler evenings. A useful utility/boot room provides everyday practicality, while the ground floor also features two generous bedrooms, one which is currently used as a gym, and a family bathroom. Upstairs, two further double bedrooms are accompanied by a stylish bathroom, alongside a wonderful master suite with ensuite, accessed via a versatile study or dressing room.

Approached through a gated driveway, the property provides ample off-road parking and is complemented by a selection of outbuildings, including a workshop and store, ideal for hobbies, storage, or small-scale country pursuits.

Set within approximately 0.6 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, the home offers plenty of space for outdoor living and enjoying the countryside setting. Across the lane lies a further 8.3 acres of stock-proofed pastureland – perfectly suited for grazing, equestrian use, or those simply wishing to embrace a more rural lifestyle.

East Down Cottage presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of country living – space, privacy, and land, all within easy reach of village life and the wider Devon countryside. EPC E
