House For Sale £445,000
44 Lower Street is a three storey granite built home with five bedrooms. It is not listed but does have great character with some exposed structural beams, roof trusses and woodwork. The cottage was formerly two homes but was amalgamated into a single cottage about 50 years ago. The cottage has great charm and is lucky enough to have many windows all of which are double glazed which let in lots of lovely natural light and some of which afford views over the Teign valley. The accommodation comprises a large dining hall with a working fireplace, a sitting room with a former fireplace and a kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor. On the first floor are two double and one single bedrooms, a bathroom and a w.c. And on the second floor there are two further bedrooms/studios and another bathroom with a small eaves workshop and store as well. The walled garden is delightful with a patio and retaining walls with a well stocked rockery. Fowlers heartily recommend viewing this charming home.
