5 bedroom farm house

This CHARACTER COUNTRY HOME is set in a picture post card village amidst rolling Devon hills with beautiful private garden and extensive parking. Brook Cottage is grade II listed, forming the major portion of a farmhouse with origins noted dating back to probably the 17th century. Retaining olde world charm complete with exposed beams, commanding inglenook fireplace, and Georgian style casement windows providing wonderful nature light for a home of this age and nature.

Brook Cottage occupies a glorious position within the small South Devon village of Coffinswell, nestled between the coastal towns of Torquay, market town of Newton Abbot, and estuary town of Shaldon. The house is situated in the heart of the village, jut a short saunter to the thatched Linny Inn, and historic Church of St Bartholemew’s.

SELLER'S INSIGHT

"Brooke Cottage has been a loved home for our family since 1995, taking over custodianship of this beautiful listed farmhouse. Coffinswell is a very special village, with the popular thatched Linney Inn and grade I listed St Bartholomew's Church at the heart. Brook Cottage holds everything expecting of a period farmhouse, with inglenook and open fireplaces, exposed beams, and wonky floors. The signs of its history are prevalent, and the old house has potential to be arranged to suit differing needs. The garden was glorious in previous years, and I would love to think new owners can put their own stamp into rejuvenating the beautiful and relaxing space. It's now time for us to close our family chapter with Brook Cottage, and wish whoever the new owners will be as much happiness as our family"
