A charming cottage, in need of refurbishment, in the heart of a popular South Devon village. EPC Band: F.
Situation - Abbotskerswell benefits from a strong community atmosphere, having a highly regarded preschool and primary school with a Good OFSTED rating. There is a general store and Post Office catering for most day-to-day needs and a popular coffee & crafts shop. The thatched village pub adjoins the beautiful village church. Abbotskerswell benefits from a park and tennis courts. There is also a village cricket ground with both junior and senior teams. Other activities in the village include the twinning association, yoga and netball.
The village is accessed off the A381/Totnes Road, providing easy access to the medieval town of Totnes and the bustling market town of Newton Abbot - with its comprehensive shopping and schooling facilities. Newton Abbot boasts a main line railway station and there are plenty of golf courses within the area. The A380 is a short drive providing speedy access to Exeter City centre. Torbay and Teignmouth are nearby, offering easy access to the coast and water activities.
Description - Willow Dene is a charming Grade II listed home, offering over 1,000sqft of accommodation with three bedrooms. Having most recently served as an investment property, it now presents a wonderful opportunity for a purchaser to refurbish the house to their own taste and enjoy an idyllic village setting, further complemented by a delightful cottage-style garden.
Accommodation - The ground floor features a welcoming entrance that leads into a central dining room, which acts as the heart of the home. Adjoining this is a bright, dual-aspect sitting room that provides a comfortable space for relaxation. The kitchen is tucked neatly to the rear, overlooking the property's surroundings. Uniquely, the ground floor also includes a dedicated office space located off the hallway, making it an excellent choice for those who work from home.
On the first floor, the landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are positioned to the front of the property, while the third is centrally located. A family bathroom, complete with a bath and integrated shower facilities, serves the upper level. The property's orientation and window placement ensure that natural light is maximized throughout both floors.
Outside - To the rear of the property is a pretty cottage style garden; currently laid predominantly to lawn this walled garden offers opportunity for bordering bedding plants and shrubs. There is also access to an outside 'gardeners loo' which could pose opportunity for outside storage.
Services - Mains water, electricity and drainage. Electric storage heaters provide heating plus an emersion tank for hot water. Ofcom advises that ultrafast broadband and mobile coverage via the major providers is available to the property

Stags Totnes office is not hard to find, located in The Granary, an imposing historic stone building, on Coronation Road. Totnes is a charming market town, built at the head of the River Dart's estuary in South Devon. It has good communications, being accessible via the A38 from Exeter, just 22 miles to the east. The town is acknowledged as a thriving New Age centre, where musicians, artists, natural health practitioners and craftspeople live and work with great success. A market is held twice a week, selling antiques, musical instruments, second-hand books, hand made clothing and local organic products. In short, not for nothing was Totnes voted the capital of New Age chic by Time magazine. With its numerous attractive listed buildings and ancient history, Totnes is a tourist hot spot and attracts a growing number of visitors annually. It has many distinctive features such as the Eastgate, an arch spanning the main street, Totnes Castle, a Norman edifice owned by English Heritage, the late medieval Church of St Mary and the Elizabethan House Museum, one of many authentic Elizabethan merchant's houses.
