Easton Cottage was re thatched six years ago and has recently been rewired, replumbed, had a new boiler with a Hive management system and a new kitchen and bathroom. This is a spacious cottage which is link detached at the back and has a large slightly elevated garden with patios and rural views. The accommodation comprises a big kitchen/dining room with a granite fireplace and wood burner, a large sitting room with a granite open fireplace and grate, two bedrooms and a newly refitted bathroom with a shower above the bath. The central heating is oil fired to radiators. Just across the lane is a private parking area and a large single garage. Fowlers very strongly recommend viewing this delightful character home which could be an ideal home for a couple, a popular holiday rental investment or just a cute bolt hole.

Exterior

The garden
Easton Cottage has the considerable benefit of a large garden with a long southerly frontage and plenty of sunshine. At the front of the cottage is a flagstone path to a small terrace just above the front door which would be ideal for morning coffee. The flag stone path rises to a patio at a slightly higher level of the garden from where there is a lovely view to the surrounding Dartmoor countryside. The slightly higher part of the garden is level with a second concrete patio space and level grassed areas, shaped borders with hundreds of spring bulbs, roses and heathers, a rose arch and a further level area which could be ideal for a vegetable and fruit garden. There is a compost area too. Set in the garden by the first patio is a barbeque area and a summerhouse/studio (8'8"x7'/2.64m x 2.13m) which is a timber structure with multi paned windows and a single pitch roof. There is also a small greenhouse which is timber framed and glazed (5' x 4'3"/1.52m x 1.29m). Set in the garden is a new double bunded oil tank.
