Description

Lavender Cottage is a beautifully presented barn conversion with a double garage situated in a wonderful courtyard development on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Goveton and offers a perfect blend of rural tranquility and sophisticated living.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a homely ambiance with bright and well-lit interiors that create a welcoming atmosphere. The spacious accommodation is perfect for both relaxation and entertaining guests and comprises entrance hall with built-in store cupboards, door to steps leading down to the rear garden, cloakroom, dual aspect sitting room with feature fireplace inset with a gas log burner and a fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room with plenty of units, integrated appliances and door out to the front of the property.
Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, 2 doubles and 1 single, with the principal bedroom enjoying en-suite facilities and there’s a family bathroom.

The property has a small front garden with lawn and shrub/flower bed, and a private lawned rear garden bound by a low hedge and a variety of established trees, plants and shrubs. Plus, there are the beautifully maintained communal gardens, offering peaceful country views that provide a scenic backdrop to everyday life.

To one side of the group of barns is a driveway leading to six oak framed double garages, one of which belongs to the property. They are attractively constructed of wood with pitched slate-hung roofs to resemble an open linhay, but with security of black roller shutter metal doors, light and power and an extensive parking area.

Buckland Court is a sophisticated courtyard development originally built in the 1860's as the home farm for the Buckland-Tout Saints Estate and is now known for its friendly community and security. Goveton is a peaceful hamlet within two miles of Kingsbridge and all its facilities, and close also to the beautiful South Devon coastline with its spectacular cliffs, coves and beaches and beautiful walks over National Trust owned headlands.
