Tucked away on the edge of the ever-popular village of Ashwater, East Down Cottage offers the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and modern comfort. This 4/5 bedroom detached country home has been beautifully renovated and extended by the current owners, creating a home that is both welcoming and practical, while retaining an abundance of character.
The heart of the home is the stunning triple-aspect kitchen and dining room, finished to a superb standard and bathed in natural light – the ideal space for family gatherings and entertaining. A step down leads to a charming living area, centred around a striking double-sided wood-burning stove set in a stone fireplace, creating a cosy retreat on cooler evenings. A useful utility/boot room provides everyday practicality, while the ground floor also features two generous bedrooms, one which is currently used as a gym, and a family bathroom. Upstairs, two further double bedrooms are accompanied by a stylish bathroom, alongside a wonderful master suite with ensuite, accessed via a versatile study or dressing room.
Approached through a gated driveway, the property provides ample off-road parking and is complemented by a selection of outbuildings, including a workshop and store, ideal for hobbies, storage, or small-scale country pursuits.
Set within approximately 0.6 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, the home offers plenty of space for outdoor living and enjoying the countryside setting. Across the lane lies a further 8.3 acres of stock-proofed pastureland – perfectly suited for grazing, equestrian use, or those simply wishing to embrace a more rural lifestyle.
East Down Cottage presents a rare opportunity to enjoy the very best of country living – space, privacy, and land, all within easy reach of village life and the wider Devon countryside.
Ashwater is a small friendly village centred around its traditional picturesque green which is bordered at one end by a popular local Inn, and at the other by the historic parish church. Amenities include a community shop/Post Office, nearby primary school, and a most impressive/well supported modern village hall. The village is surrounded by rolling Devon farmland with the nearby market town of Holsworthy being the main centre for the locality with its first class range of professional services, shops, leisure amenities, schools, and weekly market. Bude on the North Cornish coast is some 16 miles, and Cornwall’s Ancient Capital of Launceston, and the A30 is some 9 miles. Roadford Lake Watersports Centre is about 5 miles.

Continue along the road until reaching Sandymore Cross and here turn left.
