3 bed cottage for sale

Slapton, Kingsbridge TQ7

1 Vale Cottage is a charming Grade II listed thatched cottage dating back to the 17th Century, beautifully blending period character with comfortable living space. Deceptively spacious, the property enjoys a warm and welcoming atmosphere throughout, enhanced by exposed beams, neutral décor and an abundance of charm.

You enter the property via a traditional stable door into a small entrance hall, setting the tone for the character found throughout the home. From here, the sitting room provides a cosy and inviting space, complete with a working log burner creating an attractive focal point, while features reflective of the cottage’s heritage add to the overall charm. The room is further complemented by attractive oak flooring, enhancing the warmth and character and creating a comfortable and welcoming environment.

The kitchen/dining room offers a sociable and well arranged space with room for a dining table, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The room enjoys a light and airy feel and is fitted with a range of units providing good storage and preparation space, together with integrated appliances including a fridge, freezer, washing machine and dishwasher, creating a practical and functional environment.

Also located on the ground floor is a versatile third bedroom, which could equally be used as a home office, snug or guest room depending on individual needs.

Upstairs, the cottage continues to impress with two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both featuring exposed beams which enhance the charm and character of the home. The landing provides a pleasant sense of space and leads through to the family bathroom.

From the first floor there is access leading out to a delightful courtyard-style garden, a particularly attractive feature of the property. Enjoying sunshine throughout the day, this private outdoor space provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining or relaxing in peaceful surroundings. Steps lead down to a stone-built bin shed at road level with power, suitable for use with appliances. The garden also benefits from useful side access, adding to the practicality of the home.

The thatched roof was replaced approximately four years ago, offering reassurance to prospective purchasers, and the property is offered to the market with no onward chain.

A truly special home, full of character and charm, suited as a main residence, second home or investment opportunity.
