In a quiet, rural location, within the hamlet of Chipley and with easy access to Newton Abbot and the Devon Expressway, is this mid-terraced, three-bedroom cottage, with a detached garage and front and rear gardens. A white gate gives access to a path, through the pretty country cottage garden with rockeries planted with all kinds of plants and shrubs, up to the porch at the front of the property. Inside, this charming cottage is surprisingly spacious. It immediately feels warm and welcoming and has plenty of character with thick, stone walls and slightly asymmetrical rooms, all beautifully maintained and presented. The hallway has lovely terracotta floor tiles which continue through the dining room, kitchen and utility. The dining room has plenty of space for a table and seating for at least six, and has views over the front garden, ideal for family meals and celebrations, and there is a useful under-stairs cupboard. The kitchen is lovely, with a range of bespoke, solid-beech units with white knobs and matching wall cabinets providing ample storage, and there is plenty of worktop space for food preparation. A beautiful, navy-blue oil-fired Aga provides the cooking

facilities, and there is a stainless-steel sink and drainer beneath the window. The adjacent utility area has plumbing for a washing machine, and space for an upright fridge/freezer, a convenient downstairs WC with a basin, and there is a useful storage area for winter hats and coats by the back door to the garden. The living room is spacious and filled with light from windows to the back and front, and an elegant fireplace with a Portuguese-stone surround mantel and hearth, fitted with a log fire in a wrought-iron grate, makes a great practical feature, perfect for a dark winter evening. There is also a door to the rear garden. Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, all light and airy, the master with a large built-in wardrobe and two windows with views over the rear garden to the rolling countryside beyond. The smallest, third bedroom has a beautiful fireplace and a wardrobe built into the recess at the side of the chimney breast. There is a family shower room, with beautiful, engineered oak flooring, offering a large shower with tiled walls, a pedestal basin, WC and a large airing cupboard. The landing is flooded with light from the window above the staircase and a hatch in the ceiling provides loft access and additional storage. A small room on the outside wall of the kitchen contains the oil-fired boiler, with a recently replaced burner. Outside, the rear garden is beautifully designed and maintained. There is an expanse of decorative gravel, a fig tree, two manicured lawns, beds of wide varieties of plants, shrubs and bushes, and a vegetable patch, all thoughtfully landscaped. A paved patio makes a great space for a family barbecue, picnic or drinks with friends. There are two sheds, one with a rainwater harvesting system, and both with power and lights, a greenhouse with thermostatically controlled electric heating, two log stores, one an external, pitched roof lean-to and one internal, beneath the neighbour's external staircase, with a flying freehold. A two-thousand litre oil tank sits at the end of a shed and the garage, also with power and lights, has barn-style doors, and a gated gravel driveway in front provides parking for three cars. A viewing is essential in order to fully appreciate all that this charming cottage has to offer.
