Rosemary Cottage is an archetypal chocolate box DETACHED THATCHED DEVON COTTAGE (Grade II Listed) with matching DETACHED SELF CONTAINED HOLIDAY COTTAGE and further DETACHED HOLIDAY LODGE, we believe dating back to the 17th century, circa 1641, and occupying a circa 1.75 ACRE PLOT with gently sloping paddock. The property benefits from a small holding licence with our client having reared pigs and lambs. Extensive parking is provided with generous gated drive and large workshop/garaging, complimented by timber outbuildings including a twin barn and large shed with open shelter.

Gabwell Hill sits near the South West coast path and Maidencombe Beach with the village of Stokeinteignhead serenely set between the coastal towns of Torquay and Teignmouth, both offering an array of amenities, leisure activities and mooring facilities, and the market town of Newton Abbot with railway station providing direct links to most major cities. Locally, fine dining at Orestone Manor or the traditional ambiance of a village pub can be enjoyed within close proximity as well as a primary school & shop.

OWNER INSIGHT

When we first saw the cottage, we knew it would become our home the moment we walked through the door, seeking a rural setting away from pressure of modern life. We gradually restored the property, yet retaining the charm you would expect from cob walls, thatched roof and inglenook fireplace. The holiday unit is perfect to generate some income and periodic use for our family and friends\". The location has just been as perfect as the property! We can stroll to the local pubs or walk out onto the local South West Coast Path, the beach at Maidencombe is not far at all, it really is the best of both worlds, countryside all round and the coast just moments away. It gives a feeling of being miles from anywhere, but it is really accessible\".
