Property description & features

  • Four Bedrooms & Study/Bedroom Five
  • Vaulted Garden Room
  • Character Features
  • Gardens and Parking
  • Far Reaching Views
Beautifully presented detached country cottage situated amidst open fields, down a track, and within walking distance of the village.

SITUATION & DESCRIPTION
A detached country cottage set amidst open fields at the end of an unmade track, maintaining enviable privacy and seclusion, 2.5 miles from Yelverton and walking distance to the historic Milton Combe village and public house.

A five bedroom detached country cottage believed to have been a game keepers cottage built, we understand, in the 1800s. The property was completely refurbished and extended in the mid 1970s and then again by the current owners, creating a lovely garden room with vaulted section and exposed wooden beams.

The cottage is well presented and offers a modern living space with character features. The house benefits from solar panels, oil fired central heating, with a boiler fitted in 2007, double glazing and an open fireplace for warming a winter's night. The gardens and views are a particular feature and encompass the house with a pretty stone walled boundary and useful outbuildings plus a gated driveway.

The accommodation comprises porch, hall, cloakroom, garden room, sitting room, kitchen/dining room, utility and front porch. To the first floor are four bedrooms, study bedroom five and family bathroom.

The boundary wall is an original feature enclosing the garden from the surrounding fields. There are also seating areas to enjoy the best of the sun and views over the open countryside.

Viewers should be made aware the track is bumpy so a 4x4 is beneficial.

OUTGOINGS
We understand this property is in band 'D' for Council Tax purposes.

From our Yelverton office proceed to the village of Milton Combe. Turn left down into the village after passing Buckland Abbey. Pass the pub to the left and go straight ahead past the bus stop. Continue down the road and take the next left over the stone bridge and proceed up the hill. At the top of the hill and as the road bends sharply to the right, go straight ahead onto the unmade track between the fields. Follow the track for approximately on third of a mile and the signposts to the cottage parking area.
