SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
An end terrace cottage which has recently undergone restoration creating a charming retreat in a quiet country village. The cottage has been used as a successful Airbnb by the current owner and presents opportunities for investors or buyer who want a charming, secluded home.

The property was improved and modernised in the last few years with a new mains gas heating system, PVCu double glazed windows/doors and further insulation measures creating an energy considerate dwelling. To the front, the cottage is set back behind a stone wall where there is ample on street parking forming a square. The cottage is in a street which is away from the main thoroughfare of the village but also ideal for the shops in Fore Street. At the end of Cornwall Street is the open countryside and the Tamar Valley. The location is ideal for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits but convenient for Plymouth City and Tavistock Town. The property opens to an open plan living space with a fitted kitchen area harbouring built in fridge and freezer plus an oven and hob.

The space is currently used as a home gym but could be a studio or home office. The garden is enclosed and private with low maintenance artificial grass and seating areas. This area isn’t overlooked and feels very secluded.

This tranquil Devonshire village has been labelled a World Heritage Site and is perfectly positioned away from main roads. The village offers a rare local railway station which forms part of the Tamar Valley Line, connecting to the waterside village of Bere Ferrers and Calstock plus onto Plymouth City in around 20 minutes.
