A short drive from Cockington Village takes you to Torquay town centre, seafront and promenade. With a recent extension in 2016, the property combines cottage charm together with modern living. Viewing of this very desirable property comes highly recommended.

As you come to the property you enter through a traditional timber gate. Approaching the front porch, you will appreciate what a beautiful property this is with the exquisite gardens.

There is a door to the utility room with an obscure glazed window to side with borrowed light from Bathroom, wall mounted gas fired boiler, and plumbing for an automatic washing machine. The lounge is a lovely, relaxing light and airy room, full of character, with double glazed cottage style window to front aspect and timber beams to ceiling. Feature stone fireplace with timber mantel and a freestanding cast iron gas stove. 

A multi-glazed door opens into the fantastic kitchen, which forms part of the extension.

An opening leads through to the dining room and another door leads to the rear lobby with a double glazed cottage style window to side, ceramic tiled floor, and a part timber and part glazed stable door leading out to the garden. The dining room is a lovely light and airy room, forming the remainder of the extension.

The garden is a real feature of this property and a real credit to the owner who has transformed it. It is a sweeping garden that leads you through from area to area in a continuous, enjoyable parade.  As you exit the property there is a paved surround to the building giving a good amount of space for storage but also so you are not walking directly onto the lovely, grassed areas. A pathway leads under a pergola and to the lawned area, which has been carefully manicured.  Here you have a raised decked seating area to sit and enjoy company or to just drink in the lovely surroundings. As the lawn continues further on, you will find a beautiful summer house with power and light, ideal for entertaining or enjoying the chillier evenings and a further matching storage shed.  The garden is well stocked with beautiful flowering plants. Hedging, stone walling and mature trees to the boundaries give a good deal of privacy and seclusion to enjoy this beautiful garden.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a beautiful, traditional cottage in a historic village that also caters for modern living and relaxing.
