"Occupying a peaceful and private, edge of village location, a charming two double bedroom cottage with pretty, south facing gardens, garage and gated drive, offered with no chain. Freehold, Council Tax Band E, EPC Band F

Situation The property is positioned in a quiet and discreet location on the edge of the village of Lamerton, along a no through lane. Lamerton is a popular village within easy reach of Tavistock, with local amenities which include a fuel station and general store 1.2 miles , whilst the Blacksmiths Arms Public House 0.5 miles and a "Good" OFSTED rated primary school 0.2 miles are within walking distance. There is a farm shop within 2.5 miles, at Chipshop, and Tavistock town centre is only 3 miles away.

Tavistock is a thriving market town in West Devon, forming part of a World Heritage Site, rich in history and tradition dating back to the 10th century. Today, the town offers a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, whilst the largely 19th century town centre is focused around the Pannier Market and Bedford Square, in which regular farmers markets are held. Plymouth is 17 miles to the south, and Exeter lies 40 miles to the northeast, providing air, rail and motorway connections to London and the rest of the UK.

Description This charming village home has been in our client s ownership for over 25 years and is now offered to the market with no onward chain. Filled with traditional character, the property offers considerable warmth and comfort with accommodation comprising two double bedrooms, two bath shower rooms and a sizeable sitting dining room.

Externally, the cottage is accompanied by an attached garage and a good sized gated parking area, in addition to a rear courtyard and a beautiful cottage garden offering scope for keen plantsmen and those looking for quiet, rural privacy. Whilst the cottage is not Listed, it is believed that a settlement has existed on the site for several centuries, and there is mention of the location in the Domesday book.

Accommodation Throughout the cottage, there are extensive character features including exposed structural timbers and beams, striped timber floorboards, exposed stonework and slate flooring window sills, and ledged timber doors. The cottage has an original covered storm porch to the front, although access is more commonly gained directly from the parking area through a rear porch. The accommodation is then comprised as follows an entrance hallway with slate flooring and stairs rising to the first floor; a large sitting dining room, the focal point of which is a substantial inglenook fireplace currently housing a log burning stove on a granite hearth; a kitchen breakfast room which is equipped with a good range of cupboards and cabinets with roll edge worktops incorporating a 1.5 bowl ceramic sink and drainer, an oil fired Rayburn range cooker and a separate electric double oven with a 4 ring gas hob over; a ground floor shower utility room; two first floor double bedrooms, of which one has a dual aspect andboth have built in wardrobes, and; a family bathroom which is finished with a white 3 piece suite;

We understand that the cottage originally had three bedrooms, of which two were merged into what is now the principal bedroom. In our view, it would be quite possible for the original arrangement to be reinstated.

Outside To the side of the cottage is a good sized, gated tarmac parking area leading to an attached, open fronted garage which has internal lighting. Steps lead up to an enclosed rear courtyard, which is something of a suntrap and located outside the rear porch. From here, a gravelled pathway leads around a neighbouring cattle barn to the principal garden, which is private and enclosed, and planted with an attractive mix of well established shrubs and flowering plants, including roses, camellias, a magnolia and a flowering cherry, providing a very pretty space with good potential for keen horticulturists. Within the garden are a timber tool shed and a pergola.
