Bridge Cottage, Lamerton, Tavistock, Devon, PL19

SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION This lovely stone built detached cottage nestles at the heart of the popular village of Lamerton, just three miles from Tavistock. As its name implies, the cottage is located by a quaint bridge over the pretty river Lumburn which borders, and provides an attractive backdrop, to the garden. The cottage is full of attractive period features including beamed ceilings, wooden ledged and braced doors, joinery work, an open fire with stone chimney breast and a woodburning stove in the sitting room. The well-proportioned rooms are arranged over two floors and afford a high degree of versatility with the bedrooms split across separate “wings”, with their own bathrooms and accessed via two, independent staircases. The cottage is warmed by oil fired central heating (there is no mains gas in Lamerton), an open fire in the dining room and a wood burning stove in the sitting room. Outside, the gardens are a particularly attractive feature, totalling approximately 0.25 acres and bordered on one side by the river Lumburn. Steps lead down to the front garden with pretty beds and borders and a path to the storm porch and front door. The rear garden is mostly laid to lawn and interspersed with well-established flowing plants, trees and shrubs designed to provide an array of seasonal colour. There is a productive kitchen garden with soft fruit netting and a composting corner, a two small wildlife ponds, a timber arbour positioned to catch the evening sun, and a separate summer house. The garden is private, sheltered, and not overlooked. A private gravelled drive leads from the road to the rear of the cottage where there is a concrete parking area and a detached double garage/workshop. From here gated access leads to a small, raised courtyard and steps down to the back door.
