About
Dating back to approximately 1805, this three bedroom character cottage is one of the oldest properties in the village and has been thoughtfully modernised over the years, retaining many original features.
Situated between the Village Hall and the local Church, Milton Abbot is a well regarded village with a primary school and great community spirit - hosting many events throughout the year.
The cottage is offered to the market with no onward chain.
The cottage has a useful porch for coats and shoes then leads through to the cosy sitting room, which has exposed beams and a log burner for those autumnal evenings.
At the rear is a good size kitchen with dual aspect windows allowing plenty of light.
There is a good array of storage with space for appliances and an integrated Smeg oven, there is also a useful utility cupboard and plenty of space for a dining table.
Off the kitchen is an extended dining/family room with a large office space.
Bi-fold doors out on the garden elevate the space with partition open shelving adding a quirky touch and separating the office/work space.
Upstairs are three double bedrooms, all with ample built in storage and one with an en-suite cloakroom. The rear rooms have great views over surrounding countryside.
The bathroom has been fully modernised with a stylish white suite and high quality finishes.
Outside is a pretty enclosed garden with a main feature being the raised deck with a covered veranda and mains powered lighting, a great entertaining space off the family room.
The rest of the garden is laid to lawn with attractive stone walling and borders, plus a path running to the front. There is a large stone outbuilding with power, light and plumbing.
To the front is parking for two cars. The vendors currently rent an additional adjacent garden area from the Village Hall which we believe could be available to rent separately.
