Description - This hugely individual, detached character residence is offered to the market for the first time in over sixty years. Formerly two semi-detached cottages believed to date to the late 1800s, which were amalgamated during our client's ownership, the cottage was later extended and remodelled to create a large, bright and versatile home of great warmth and comfort. Owing to the property's history and layout, it provides an excellent degree of flexibility and could be adapted as a home for multi-generational occupy or a home-and-income proposition. Externally, the cottage is complemented by a beautiful, mature garden, extensive parking, a sizeable garage, carport and workshop, with the plot totalling 0.54 acres in all (see our Location Plan). Both the house and garden face due south and the established nature of the site provides great screening and privacy to the property.

Accommodation - The property is accessed at the front elevation into a porch which opens into a sizeable, south-facing conservatory overlooking the front garden. The principal ground floor accommodation is comprised of a cosy sitting room centered around an open fire, an open-plan dining room, a well-equipped kitchen and separate utility with walk-in pantry and under-stair storage cupboards, a study/TV room, and a well-appointed bathroom. Also at ground floor level, accessed off the conservatory, is a large bedroom suite with full-height fitted wardrobes, a tasteful en-suite bathroom, and a further storage/utility room which could be adapted as a dressing room. There are two staircases to the first floor which, collectively, provide access to four further bedrooms, of which three are doubles and the largest benefits from an en-suite shower room, with a separate WC found on the landing.

Outside - The property is approached over a long, gated tarmac drive that exits directly onto Roborough Down. There is extensive parking to the front and side of the house in addition to a large detached garage and adjoining carport, plus a sizeable block-built workshop. Both the garage and workshop have power and lighting. The property's gardens are an undoubted highlight, being mainly level, laid to lawn and maturely planted. The gardens are enclosed by a mixture of mature hedging and Devon banks, and are stocked with a variety of colourful shrubs and flowering plants including camellias, magnolias, acers and hydrangeas. There is a separate rose bed on one side, a soft fruit planting area, a greenhouse, and an enclosed vegetable patch.

Services - Mains water and electricity, private drainage via two septic tanks. Oil-fired central heating at ground-floor level only (there is no central heating at first-floor level). Please note that the agents have neither inspected nor tested these services.
