House For Sale £350,000
A first class terraced cottage with its own wonderful private garden, situated at The Priory, an exclusive retirement development with unrivalled facilities on the edge of the picturesque village of Abbotskerswell.
Offering a sophisticated and vibrant lifestyle, The Priory comprises a selection of apartments and cottages for the over 60s, which is pet friendly and set within 5 acres of beautifully maintained grounds. Attracting both couples and single residents, the development offers regular social and leisure events as well as an impressive range of facilities including an indoor swimming pool, library, croquet lawn and much more. There is a Development Manager and 24-hour emergency call alarm system, adding peace of mind.
Around half a mile away, the attractive and highly desirable village of Abbotskerswell encapsulates the very essence of village life with its long-established village Inn/restaurant The Court Farm Inn, well-stocked shop, café/coffee shop and ancient and well-attended church, St Mary's. The thriving market town of Newton Abbot is around 2 miles' drive with the historic, somewhat Bohemian town of Totnes sitting on the banks of the River Dart is around 5 miles' drive, both with mainline railway stations.
The cottage itself is beautifully presented and individual for the development. The private garden at the front is a real treat, offering much seclusion, being enclosed by natural stone walls and featuring paved terraces, gravelled beds with pots, pergola and extensive planting. A nearby garage provides parking or additional storage.
Accommodation
Seamlessly blending character with convenience, the beautifully-presented interior has been well-maintained with recent upgrades to the electric heating system amongst others and is finished with neutral tones and quality fittings. Accessed through an enclosed, part-glazed porch is the main reception hallway with wide staircase leading to the first floor with storage cupboard below and having a spacious cloakroom off with plenty of space for coats and boots and fitted with a modern white low level WC and pedestal wash basin. To one side of the hallway is a spacious lounge with plenty of light through a window and glazed French doors opening to the garden. On the opposite side of the hallway is the fashionable open plan dining/kitchen with plenty of space for a table and chairs and the well-appointed kitchen area fitted with a sleek range of high gloss cabinets, and some integrated appliances with polished solid granite counter tops adding to the luxury finish.
Up on the first floor, a part-galleried landing is double-aspect; front and rear facing windows providing plenty of light. Off the landing is a large, walk-in cupboard which is also plumbed for the washing machine. The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned double with a recessed dressing area with selection of fitted wardrobes and top quality en-suite featuring a large shower cabinet with glass water defender, low level WC and wash basin. A second guest bedroom also has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite with oversized shower cabinet, WC and basin, a Velux roof window providing natural light.
