This unique and charming cottage really is something different. Don’t let the standard frontage fool you as upon entrance from New Road this property certainly will not fail to surprise! Located in a very convenient, level location it is very easy to access the town centre and harbour which are only a 5-10 minute walk away. There is the added benefit of the mainline 12 bus service to hand which is a frequent service serving the whole of Torbay.
The entrance hallway is very generous and has many character features retained by the same family for approximately four decades. The good size lounge with fireplace and exposed limestone walls is a real feature giving character and warmth to the room. There is a good size dining room with the other half of the double sided fireplace and comes complete with french style doors into the rear courtyard style garden, which is where the separate barn (see later) can be found – something so rare with such a central property. Upstairs there is a great size family bathroom, a spacious landing and 2 double bedrooms making this an overall great size 2 bed cottage that is suitable for a smaller family. There is an access lane which can take you out of the property to the rear which is useful for gaining access in and out of the garden without going through the accommodation. There are two stores backing onto the kitchen ideal for a few garden tools or as a wood/tool store. The courtyard is surrounded by pretty limestone walls giving an excellent amount of security and privacy.
The barn is actually two storeys and comes complete with fireplaces on both levels. The top floor is accessed via a ladder and has restricted head height towards the front of the barn. This barn could easily be converted into something more useful and has potential for a whole host of different uses – from snug temporary accommodation for visitors or children, to a useable workshop/store for the hobbyist.
Agents note: There is an element of a flying freehold over part of the lounge area equating to approx 11.34 sq metres of the total approximate 129.2 sq metres as measured on the floor plan. Please refer to the floor plan and your lender for more information in relation to flying freeholds and lending as lenders can have different requirements.
