A substantial, characterful country cottage set in a peaceful hamlet just beyond Bere Alston, this five‑bedroom detached home offers versatile family living and excellent outdoor space. The main house combines exposed beams, flagstone floors and a Rayburn in a rustic kitchen that flows to a bright dining/sun room. Three double bedrooms sit in the principal cottage, with generous reception rooms and a large lounge with a stone fireplace and wood‑burner.
Integrated but privately accessible, the annex provides two further bedrooms, a second kitchen area, a downstairs wet room and separate reception — ideal for multi‑generational living, long‑term guests or income potential. The garage includes workshop space and a gym room, with hardstanding directly outside for additional parking.
The half‑acre, mature gardens are a standout: landscaped terraces, established trees and multiple patio areas offer privacy and space for outdoor entertaining or family play. Practical positives include double glazing installed after 2002, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal in a very low‑crime, affluent area.
Notable practical drawbacks are honest and important: heating is coal‑fired via a boiler and radiators with a Rayburn in the kitchen, external stone walls are likely uninsulated, and the house — constructed before 1900 — may need internal modernisation in places. Vehicular access is along country lanes to a parking/turning hardstanding rather than a formal long driveway. Buyers should allow for potential refurbishment costs if they wish to upgrade heating, insulation or internal fittings.
