A quirky two bedroom grade II listed cottage sat in the heart of Great Torrington, believed to be amongst some of the first homes to be built here, you have the perfect opportunity if you are looking for character. The property was built in the 1600’s with a long history and has existed as different uses during its time. The most well-known, the property was formerly a public house under the name ‘The Rising Sun’.

The home indulges in great space with a versatile use of multiple rooms both up and downstairs. The vendor has had the property redecorated with each room benefitting from updates. Crossing through the threshold of the property you are greeted with multiple reception rooms, one on each side. The left hand reception room is a bright room and potentially perfect for a dining room. Here is where you really start to admire the character, the vendor has informed us a wall in this room is a muntin oak screen and a working open fireplace. The reception room on your right is a smaller snug room, this could be great for anyone looking for that separate room for crafts, an office or as used by the previous tenants, a bedroom. The rear of the ground floor boasts a utility/kitchen with a butler sink and access to the downstairs shower room.

Walking up the stairs you are greeted with yet another reception room with duel aspect windows creating a bright and airy atmosphere. If you are like me and enjoy people watching, the primary window has a seat within the window sill allowing a spot for you to enjoy observing part of the town and the distant countryside views. To round of the room, there is an inglenook fireplace that should you want to, would be a perfect space for a log burner. Through the lounge and you will find the two bedrooms to the front of the home. The kitchen is to the rear with plenty of cupboards and a one and a half bowl sink. Finally, to finish off the first floor there is a bathroom again to the rear of the home.

The rear garden is a generous size courtyard with a stone built shed which is tucked away in the corner and perfect for your outdoor tools, furniture and non-household items. If low maintenance is key for you then you will have no worries here. With greenery partly covering the garden walls and wooden pots on the floor, it really makes the garden inviting and a great spot to relax. If you are into your alfresco dining, there is more than enough room here to host friends and family and enjoy the Devon sun.
