Downhams Cottage is a detached Grade II Listed 16th century cottage located in the popular village of Woodbury Salterton. The central hallway opens to the left to a lovely sitting room with an open fireplace. To the right is a dining room and kitchen which are separated by an original oak panel screen. To the back of the house is a ground floor shower room and a utility room. Stairs lead from the sitting room to a large landing/office space. Off here is a charming bedroom. On the other side a larger bedroom leads through to an en suite and a further smaller bedroom. The house has beautiful period features including exposed oak screens and beamed ceilings.
Please note that the ceiling in the principal bedroom has always been very low (5' 5”). A structural engineer has recently reported that the beams in this room now require supporting with props; as a result there are now props in the bedroom and also the ground floor room beneath.
