A rare Grade II Listed 13th-century cottage in Plympton, thoughtfully restored to blend medieval features with modern living. The sitting room centres on original quoin stone and an efficient wood-burning stove; a garden room and boot room provide flexible ground-floor living. The established, sunny garden, decked entertaining areas and a stone-built garage with parking add practical outdoor appeal.

The recently renovated kitchen includes a cream Aga and teak units, while the bathroom retains character fittings such as a roll-top bath and copper shower head. Previous planning consent existed for a 5m round garden room, offering potential for a studio or extra bedroom (subject to consents).
