2 bedroom property for sale

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION A charming, Grade II-listed 17th-century cottage offering an enchanting blend of period character and thoughtful modern comforts, located in the attractive village of Buckland Monachorum. Well presented throughout, this light, south-facing home has high beamed ceilings, original features and a warm, welcoming atmosphere; perfect for buyers seeking a historic property with contemporary conveniences. Step through the entrance vestibule into an open-plan kitchen-lounge-diner, where the heart of the home is defined by a working wood-burning stove (log burner) positioned centrally in the main living space. The lounge area flows into a dining spot with cosy window seats and a window overlooking the rear courtyard, creating a lovely social and family space. The kitchen has been updated with modern wall and floor mounted units and built-in appliances, while a rear porch provides a practical utility area and direct access to the outside. Upstairs there are two good-sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly generous, with built-in storage and pleasant views to the front; the second also benefits from natural light and comfortable proportions. The accommodation is completed by a family bathroom. Heating is provided by the wood-burning stove and electric radiators, which are integrated with a Nest smart control hub for efficient, modern temperature management. Internally the cottage feels bright and airy thanks to its south-facing front aspect. Outside, the cottage enjoys particularly attractive outdoor space. To the rear is a peaceful courtyard garden with a raised paved section, ideal for low-maintenance entertaining, with lovely outlooks towards the village church and the small brook that borders the plot. The property is one of the few in the village to include an allocated parking space; a valuable and convenient feature. A rare and valuable extra is the detached, approximately 100-foot garden that was purchased separately by the current owners and is included with the sale. Laid mainly to lawn and bordered by trees, plants and shrubs, this generous parcel creates a private wildlife sanctuary and offers versatile potential; the current owners keep chickens in an established coop, but it would equally suit a vegetable garden, orchard, play area, or simply an extended lawned garden for relaxation. Presented with respect for its historic fabric yet updated for modern living, this Grade II-listed cottage is a rare find full of character, practical features and charming outdoor space. The village is sought after in the area and provides a primary school, bus service and The Drake Manor pub which is yards from the door. Buckland Monachorum provides a thriving community and church, whilst the market town of Tavistock, 8 miles distant and Plymouth, 13 miles, collectively offer extensive educational, recreational, cultural and shopping facilities.
