About this property

An outstanding beautifully presented detached Grade II listed cottage, set in a secluded private position in the middle of the village, with much character and an abundance of period features. The property includes a two storey one bedroom Bothy, ideal for overflow guests and family.

Bought by the current owners in 2009, from previous owners who had owned since 1923, the property was completely renovated in 2010 to a very high standard, under the guidance of conservation architects, listed building officers, and respected local builders. This beautiful property is full of charm and character with many original period features, enhanced and exposed during the renovations, and is presented for sale in immaculate condition.

Entering the property from the front Italian-style terrace through a porch and into the hallway with a useful cloakroom. To the right is a superb kitchen/breakfast room with a window overlooking the Italian-style courtyard. A bespoke Barnes of Ashburton fitted kitchen includes an electric Aga, integral fridge freezer, built-in wine fridge, ample storage cupboards, shelves, drawers, and granite work surfaces.

Back through the entrance hall and into the first of two reception rooms there are an abundance of period features on show. Exposed beams, original stone fireplace with multifuel stove and original bread ovens on either side, double-glazed wooden windows with original shutters overlooking the gardens, original cupboards and a door to the south terrace and gardens.

Through to a further reception room used as the sitting room, again with a stone fireplace and multifuel stove, exposed beams, a built-in bookcase, and wooden double-glazed windows with shutters overlooking the gardens. Both rooms are light, spacious, and south-facing. Large flagstone floors run throughout most of the ground floor.

The main staircase is accessed between the reception rooms and leads up to the master bedroom which has windows overlooking the gardens, and an en-suite bathroom. On the landing, there is an airing cupboard and access to a large loft via a hatch which is boarded with elm floorboards, offering good head height and a useful large space for storage. Two further double bedrooms with original floorboards, one with a feature fireplace, both with built-in cupboards, share a Jack and Jill shower room with built-in cupboards. One of the bedrooms has a cupboard housing the hot water cylinder and has access back down a lovely oak staircase that leads to the entrance hall.

Outside, a lovely Italian-style terrace sits to the front of the property, and over in the corner, you’ll find The Bothy, an immaculately presented two-storey stone-built property with an open-plan kitchen/diner/sitting room with a cloakroom and a utility cupboard. Oak flooring upstairs with York stone downstairs and a bespoke oak staircase leading up to a double bedroom and a shower room.

A garden gate leads through to the secluded and private mature rear garden with a terrace and summerhouse. The gardens are fitted with lights and attractive metal garden fencing and gates. Beyond this is a gravelled parking area for several cars. There is a small gate beyond the parking area leading to a pathway, which the Cottage owns, and there are no public rights of way. This leads around the back of the Thurlestone hotel golf course and gives access further down the road towards Thurlestone Golf Club.
