House For Sale £365,000
Description The name of this property "The Haven" aptly describes this home, being nestled in the sought after Leat Road, within walking distance of the village of Lifton. The vendors believe the original cottage was built in the 1800s, yet more recently extended around 12 years ago. Many original features can be found such as Flagstone floors, window seats and deep sills. The quirky split level layout briefly comprises a traditional gabled entrance porch leading into a good sized sitting room, boasting a fireplace housing woodburning stove, two window seats to the front elevation and Flagstone floor. A flight of stairs take you down to the lower ground floor Kitchen/Diner being double aspect and enjoying a very pleasant aspect over the rear garden and patio through French doors. There is a cloakroom and stable door to outside, very handy for those with a dog or small children.

There is a further area of grass to the side which offers space for a carport or garage subject to planning consents.
