2 bed cottage for sale

Stoke Gabriel, Totnes TQ9

Description

Luscombe Maye are delighted to bring to market this charming Regency-period, two-bedroom semi-detached cottage, ideally situated in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Stoke Gabriel. Rich in character and period charm, the property briefly comprises two spacious bedrooms, two reception rooms, a family bathroom, and a generous courtyard providing off-road parking.

The property is approached via a spacious forecourt offering ample parking, with a welcoming entrance framed by colourful cottage-style planting. Internally, the home showcases a wealth of original features, including exposed beams, deep-set windows, and beautifully proportioned living spaces that reflect its heritage and character.

The principal reception room provides a warm and inviting setting, filled with natural light and enhanced by an array of period details that create a wonderful sense of history and charm. A second reception room, currently arranged as an extensive library and reading room, offers a peaceful retreat. Formerly the kitchen, this room still retains the necessary plumbing and services, allowing for the straightforward reinstatement of a kitchen should a purchaser wish.

Stairs rise to the first floor, where there are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in storage, together with a family bathroom serving the accommodation.

Externally, the property enjoys an attractive frontage with established flower beds and planting, perfectly complementing the cottage's traditional appeal. The generous parking area is a rare and highly desirable feature for a property of this nature within the village centre.

An additional benefit is that the neighbouring property is also available for purchase, presenting a unique opportunity to acquire both cottages and create a larger residence, multi-generational living arrangement, guest accommodation, or an income-generating opportunity, subject to any necessary consents.
