Newport Street, Millbrook, PL10 1BW

Set in the heart of Millbrook village, this highly individual cottage offers an unusually rich architectural history and a wonderfully characterful feel.

Originally built in the early 1800s as a one-up, one-down cottage for the groom of the main house on the terrace, it was later extended around the 1880s with the addition of an attached coach house in a completely different style.

A substantial two-storey rear extension followed in the 20th century, creating two further bedrooms, a bathroom and a dining kitchen.

In 2020, the former hayloft was incorporated into the main house to form a superb upstairs sitting room, while a downstairs cloakroom was added, the old stable converted into a generous garage, and the chimney rebuilt to accommodate an open fire.

Over the years the former stable yard has evolved into a mature landscaped garden, featuring a fishpond, gazebo and its own well and pump offering free water in the summer months.

This is a charming, quirky and wonderfully practical home with potential for private parking and an enviable position in the centre of the village.

Ground Floor The entrance opens into a warm and characterful sitting/dining room, featuring timber floorboards and a stone fireplace with open fire-an inviting focal point for the home.

Beyond lies the generous kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with cream shaker-style units, range cooker and ample space for a family dining table.

A cloakroom/WC sits conveniently off this level, and a side door leads directly into the substantial garage/workshop, offering excellent scope for hobbies, storage or further adaptation (subject to consents).

First Floor The first floor presents three well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom and the impressive additional sitting room created from the converted hayloft.

Bedroom one, a generous double to the front elevation, enjoys a charming outlook towards Millbrook Lake.

Bedroom two is another comfortable double, while bedroom three offers flexibility as a smaller double, large single or home office.

The bright family bathroom includes a white suite with separate bath and shower.

A few steps drop down to the superb upper sitting room, a bright and welcoming space with a Juliet balcony overlooking the street-perfect for relaxing, reading or entertaining.

Grounds The beautifully landscaped rear garden is a standout feature.

Arranged over several levels, it includes well-established planting, stone-edged beds, lawned areas, patios and a delightful fishpond.

A gazebo and various seating terraces provide excellent options for outdoor dining and relaxation. The garden also benefits from its own well with pump, providing free water during the summer months.

A secure side path gives access from the front.

Situation Located on Newport Street, the cottage sits perfectly for village living-just moments from Millbrook's shops, cafés, pubs and the picturesque lake.

The Rame Peninsula is celebrated for its sandy beaches, coastal paths, vibrant communities and natural beauty, with convenient connections to Torpoint and Plymouth via the ferry.
