5 bedroom detached house

A unique opportunity to purchase a pair of cottages in a charming South Hams hamlet. Versatile in their arrangement they would suit a purchaser looking for multi-generational living and work equally well for someone looking to achieve an additional income stream from the second cottage (subject to further investment to improve the property to an EPC rating of E). Located in a superb countryside setting conveniently placed to access nearby amenities as well as glorious walks through the South Hams countryside.

Primrose Cottage and Pine Cottage are nestled in a little known hamlet on the edge of the South Hams. The current owners occupy Primrose Cottage which they have thoughtfully renovated throughout the years to create a charming and characterful home. Traditional in layout, the front door leads to a hallway with a reception room on either side, the sitting room having beautiful teak flooring, a feature fireplace and spiral staircase to the first floor. The kitchen is at the rear of the house overlooking the patio and garden and is fitted with a comprehensive range of painted wooden units. There is a good size utility room in addition to the kitchen. Upstairs are three bedrooms, a dressing area/study, bathroom and further separate wc. From the first floor hallway a door leads out to a charming and private veranda with superb views over the orchard and surrounding countryside.
Pine Cottage is a again a traditional cottage with various character features. A kitchen, shower room and two reception rooms are on the ground floor (one of which could be used as a bedroom) with 2 further bedrooms and another bathroom upstairs. This particular property would benefit from some modernisation to bring it up to a similar standard as Primrose Cottage.
The outside space is a most important aspect of the properties. The mature gardens have been designed to embrace the surrounding countryside and wildlife and have been lovingly and well tended throughout the seasons. There is a delightful orchard opposite Primrose cottage planted with, amongst others plums, figs and a specimen olive tree, where one can sit and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding countryside. Each property has its’ own garden separated by laurel hedging and fencing. Primrose Cottage has a long driveway leading to a dual purpose double garage. The obvious parking of vehicles in this building is not its’ only use. There is a small kitchen area, a woodburning stove and wc downstairs and from here a staircase leads to a large dormer room on the first floor with wonderful views across the surrounding countryside.
