Rose Cottage ticks all ‘dream home’ boxes

20 Jan Rose Cottage ticks all ‘dream home’ boxes

A traditional period thatched cottage is a dream home for many. Add to that five bedrooms, 3-4 reception rooms, a detached garage and a barn for conversion on a large plot with countryside views in a Devon village and what have you got? The answer is Rose Cottage – a dream home indeed.

Rendells Estate Agents in Chagford is thrilled to bring to the market this outstanding property, which sits in the Devon countryside towards the eastern outskirts of the small, picturesque village of Tedburn St Mary, around 1.5 miles from the main A30 and just seven miles from Exeter and everything the city has to offer, including its airport and mainline railway station.

Sitting in a plot of around a third of an acre, Rose Cottage is a very handsome property, Grade II Listed and recently re-rendered with its thatched roof, railings and a pretty, arched garden rose arbour over the front path to the porch. Inside, the cottage exudes just as much character with exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and timber latch key doors.

The porch leads into an attractive hallway. To the left of the hallway is a generous study with a large open fireplace; to the right is the main sitting room with an Inglenook fireplace housing the wood burner and steps leading down into a large formal dining room.

Running along the back of the cottage is a family room/snug with a feature fireplace recess and a window seat looking out into the garden, a cloakroom/WC and the galley kitchen
breakfast room. There is plenty of space in the breakfast area for a table and chairs, and the kitchen is fitted with a mix of attractive Shaker-style cabinetry with granite work surfaces and an electric Aga as well as an induction hob and additional oven. From here is a separate,
well-fitted utility room and rear porch with access to the garden. Upstairs, the landing is open and bright and leads to the five bedrooms – all double – and the family bathroom.

The front garden is a small but pretty courtyard running the full width of the property. The main garden is at the rear and is made up of large areas of lawn with curved patio areas and
a raised pond with water feature. To the side of the cottage is a driveway leading to the detached garage and a separate barn of around 721 square feet with potential for conversion, subject to the relevant planning consents. Behind the barn is a further area of garden, currently being used as an attractive vegetable garden with greenhouse.

Marcus Wrey, residential sales manager at Rendells in Chagford, said: “Rose Cottage is an absolute gem of a property with all the attributes and character that you would expect of a village cottage, as well as a whole lot more! I would definitely recommend that anyone interested should view as soon as possible.”
