Description

Offering an idyllic lifestyle opportunity with excellent income potential is this wonderful, detached grade 2 listed thatched cottage.

Occupying its own plot of some 1.6 acres in total, the picturesque home comes with two separate and well-presented detached holiday letting units, one known as ‘The Annexe’ which is a single story, thatched property offering one bedroom accommodation and ‘The Stables’ - a timber clad, single story, one bedroom property. Both holiday letting units are currently promoted via VRBO holiday lets.

The grounds comprise a fairly level paddock of around an acre, privately enclosed gardens with lawn and terrace, plenty of parking for multiple vehicles and a number of modern timber outbuildings comprising sheds, garage and various stores.

The property occupies a lovely setting overlooking glorious rolling countryside on the Maidencombe side of the pretty village of Stokeinteignhead, with its lovely, thatched inn/restaurant, primary school, church and community run shop around a mile away. The coast at Maidencombe with its sheltered cove, sandy beach and the South West coastal path is around 0.75 miles away, whilst the marina and harbourside with its excellent selection of bars and restaurants is around 5 miles drive. Within the immediate area are a number of green lanes and bridle paths ideal for the keen equestrian enthusiast.

Accommodation
The main house is immaculate and thought to date back to the 17th century with a later addition in the mid 1980’s. Briming with attractive character features such as beamed ceilings, brace and latch doors and an inglenook style fireplace. The ground floor comprises a spacious, triple aspect sitting room and a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room. From the ground floor there are two separate staircases leading up to the first floor where there are three bedrooms and a modern shower room with oversized cabinet WC and basin.

Gardens
The plot has to be viewed to be fully appreciated but offers high levels of privacy with formal gardens ideal for entertaining and a fairly level paddock. There are a number of out buildings including a barn and agricultural building.

Parking
Extensive parking on a forecourt adjacent to the main house, garage, double carport and tractor store.
