House For Sale £530,000
Beautifully presented detached country cottage situated amidst open fields, down a track, and within walking distance of the village.
SITUATION & DESCRIPTION
A detached country cottage set amidst open fields at the end of an unmade track, maintaining enviable privacy and seclusion, 2.5 miles from Yelverton and walking distance to the historic Milton Combe village and public house.
A five bedroom detached country cottage believed to have been a game keepers cottage built, we understand, in the 1800s. The property was completely refurbished and extended in the mid 1970s and then again by the current owners, creating a lovely garden room with vaulted section and exposed wooden beams.
The cottage is well presented and offers a modern living space with character features. The house benefits from solar panels, oil fired central heating, with a boiler fitted in 2007, double glazing and an open fireplace for warming a winter's night. The gardens and views are a particular feature and encompass the house with a pretty stone walled boundary and useful outbuildings plus a gated driveway.
The accommodation comprises porch, hall, cloakroom, garden room, sitting room, kitchen/dining room, utility and front porch. To the first floor are four bedrooms, study bedroom five and family bathroom.
