House For Sale £500,000
A superb detached, character cottage with three bedrooms, a garage, ample parking and an extensive garden in the picturesque village of Trusham and only a 10 minute drive from the A38 to Plymouth Exeter and on the M5.
This property with chocolate box looks, dates back to the 17th century, and is well presented throughout with oodles of character features including uneven thick walls, low ceilings with exposed beams, casement windows, many with window seats set into the thick walls beneath, and a wonderful inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove, and it feels warm and cosy with oil central heating.
A cobbled footpath approaches the property and steps lead up to the entrance, sheltered beneath a storm porch. A solid oak front door leads into the wonderful living room which has low ceilings with exposed beams and plenty of light from dual-aspect windows, two having window seats beneath. A fabulous stone Inglenook fireplace has a built-in bread oven and is fitted with a wood burning stove making a lovely feature and focal point for the room; wonderful with a roaring fire, when it heats the entire house.
A carpeted staircase rises to the first floor with a handy store cupboard beneath and a rustic door leads into a separate dining room which has two windows to the front, both with window seats and pleasant views over the garden.
This room flows through an opening into an unusually shaped kitchen which has a terracotta tiled floor and a fitted kitchen making excellent use of all space. There is plenty of granite-effect worktop space, and a range of fitted units providing ample cupboard space. There is a gap for a range cooker, with extractor fans above, a ceramic sink with a mixer tap beneath a window to the garden, a stable-style door to the side of the property and spaces for an upright fridge/freezer and a dishwasher.
A door to the rear leads onto steps up into a utility room which has a durable vinyl floor, worktops and storage, along with shelving for groceries. There is another back door beside a recess where there is space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble drier. A floor-mounted oil boiler provides the central heating and hot water and there is a butler sink with a mixer tap. A shower room completes the ground floor accommodation, containing a WC and a corner shower with a rain head and marble-effect panelling.
Upstairs, there are three characterful bedrooms, two doubles with fitted wardrobes and plush carpet underfoot, one having superb views over the village and a single with dual aspect windows, currently used as a study, perfect for those working from home. It also has a built-in airing cupboard with an insulated hot water cylinder, a power pump for the shower and slatted shelving for linen. A hatch in the bedroom ceiling provides access to the loft space. The family bathroom is spacious and carpeted containing a corner shower, a WC, and an antique basin on a decorative wrought-iron stand, with a matching Gothic mirror above. A window provides plenty of natural light and fabulous views over the village and surrounding countryside.
Outside, at the front of the property is a private paved terrace bordered by timber fencing, draped in clematis and mature bushes and shrubs, making a great venue for a barbecue or alfresco dining. There is an ornamental fishpond and stone-edged beds of decorative shingle, shrubs and flowers, and a detached outside WC for the hardier folk. There is an outside tap for watering and steps lead up around the end of the property where there is a split-level, private terrace making a great alternative venue for entertaining guests. There is a storage shed and a plastic oil tank for the central heating, and steps continue up to into the extensive rear garden which has a large timber shed at the bottom, with lights and power, and terraces of lawn backing on to woodland at the top. There are a number of tall trees providing welcome shade over a pergola halfway up, which makes a great vantage point with picturesque views over the village. A variety of fruit trees can also be found including apples and pears and several places in which to sit and enjoy the native birdlife and tranquil surroundings.
Nearby there is a walled parking area of gravel with space for at least four cars, and a stone-built garage/workshop, with an insulated roof, a roller-shutter door and lights and power, providing more parking and dry storage.
