Description

This Grade Il listed property was originally part of Bowden Farm, dating to the 19th century. Converted in the mid 1980's it now provides a cosy cottage style property, full of character including exposed beams, ideally suited to either permanent living or occasional use. The privacy afforded by the property is greatly enhanced by the independent access through the spacious garage (with power and light) into the private garden. The very attractive shaker style kitchen/dining room overlooks the garden. Also on the ground floor is a sitting room with door opening onto the very well-stocked cottage garden. On the first floor are two double bedrooms and a study all with very attractive countryside views. The master bedroom has an excellent range of built in wardrobes. Also on the first floor is the luxurious and
well-appointed bathroom. The pretty cottage style garden is remarkably private and provides plenty of space for alfresco dining. The central courtyard area of the development includes an attractive and well maintained communal green and pathways and communal parking.

The thriving village of Yealmpton boasts a Post Office, Primary School, general store/off licence, health centre, dentist and more. The popular Rose and Crown public house is only a short walk. Yealmpton is accessible to the A38 (3 miles) for routes beyond Plymouth into Cornwall or towards Exeter heading north. This area of South Devon is popular for its proximity to stunning beaches, sailing waters, the
amenities of Plymouth and the open spaces of the Dartmoor National Park which are only seven miles to the north.
