Introducing Kilson Cottage, the epitome of countryside living. This breathtaking granite-built home sits majestically on a sprawling 1.5-acre plot, surrounded by rolling Devonshire farmland that stretches for miles.

As you approach the property down a typical Devon track, you will feel the weight of the world fall away, knowing that this peaceful retreat is all yours. The cottage itself exudes character, with exposed beams, chunky walls that you cannot help but hug, and generously sized rooms that invite you to make yourself at home.

As you enter the property through the five-bar gate, you'll be struck by the stunning views that greet you from all angles. Parking is plentiful, with space for all types of vehicles, making this property perfect for everyone. There are also two stone-built barns, one measuring 18'4'' x 12'3'' and the other 12'10'' x 14'2'', providing ample space for a workshop or generous storage.

Inside the home, the entrance porch doubles as a handy utility area, complete with a Belfast sink and space for two white goods. The kitchen is a cook's paradise, with a Stanley Range, a wealth of storage units, exposed beams, and triple aspect windows that flood the room with natural light. To the right of the entrance, you'll find the sitting room, which boasts a large inglenook fireplace with a wood burner, perfect for relaxing and entertaining your friends and family.

A further living room, just short of 17ft x 12ft, offers an additional space for unwinding and enjoying the beauty of your surroundings. At the end of the property, a sunroom provides the ideal spot for taking in the view and enjoying moments of peace and quiet.

The upper level of the home offers three equal-sized double bedrooms, all with dual aspect windows and incredible views of the surrounding farmland. The master bedroom boasts an en-suite shower room, while the family bathroom is located to the front of the home.

Outside, the property is just as impressive as the inside. The secure and level paddocks are arguably the most attractive feature, with ample space for equestrian pursuits or keeping other animals. There's also a large building currently used as kennels that can be re-purposed as you see fit. The exterior has been thoughtfully split into a simple yet effective layout, with plenty of parking adjacent to the home and barns. The elevated area is perfect for a well-tended lawn or vegetable garden, offering unparalleled views over the home and fields beyond.

Kilson Cottage is a true gem that must be seen to be believed. It is completely private and secluded, yet accessible to local villages and major city links, making it the perfect retreat for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of modern life.

Kilson Cottage is situated within a rural location, with no near neighbours, a short drive from the village of Lewdown. The village itself is believed to be one of the earliest villages to be built by the Saxons in West Devon. The famous Jacobean Manor, Lewtrenchard Hotel is nearby.

The property is approximately 15 minutes commute to and from the local market town of Okehampton. With further offerings of multiple supermarkets, leisure centre facilities, schools, banks, individual shops, and a handful of public houses. Further amenities can be found 10 miles away in the affluent town of Tavistock, boasting further local shops, cafes, and very successful pannier market.
