The Bungalow is a detached property which was constructed by the current owners as ancillary accommodation. It offers spacious and bright accommodation comprising; two double bedrooms, kitchen, sitting/dining room, utility room and a shower room. It is a lovely property in its own right and would make a great rental property, holiday let or accommodation for family.

Step Outside

The land at the property totals just over 5 acres and is setup in sections but is all within one boundary and so all of the gardens and land can be accessed by the cottage or the bungalow.  With the River Teign along the rear boundary, this really is a special setting.

1 Knowle Cottage has a covered patio area which has plenty of space for outdoor furniture etc and has mature borders planted with established shrubs and bushes.  There is also a very pretty front garden which leads to the front door. A driveway runs from the road, past the cottage and then follows around to the land as well as to an additional gated access back onto the road.

The Bungalow has a large terrace which is accessed off the living room and bedroom, it’s a private and sunny spot and leads out on to a large grass area. There is also a small stream and a gateway into a secret garden, which is planted with a variety of mature trees.

The land also benefits from having a productive vegetable plot with greenhouse and soft fruit cages.  Next to this area there is a three-box stable block (with power and water) and grass area which is enclosed with post and rail fencing.

The driveway continues past the stables, and over a small bridge giving access into the large paddock area.  A metal gate on the far side opens into a large yard area where there is a two-storey barn, sizeable store shed, and tractor shed.
