South Street, Denbury, Newton Abbot, TQ12

Check out this rare opportunity to purchase a semi-detached character cottage with two bedrooms and a charming courtyard garden, situated in the heart of the sought-after village of Denbury.

A couple of steps with railings lead to the entrance sheltered beneath a storm porch. Inside, it is well-presented with light and neutral décor throughout. It is deceptively spacious offering versatile accommodation for a family and benefits from double-glazing and gas central heating along with having many character features such as thick stone walls, fireplaces and window seats.

The front door leads to a hallway where there is a built-in cupboard with an automatic light, ideal for storing coats and shoes, and a larder cupboard with shelving for groceries. A door leads into a spacious kitchen/dining room, filled with light from a window to the front with a seat beneath, and a glass-brick window to the side. It has a durable carpet and plenty of solid oak worktop space together with a variety of cupboards and wall-cabinets providing storage. There is integrated appliances including washing machine, fridge freezer and dishwasher. There is also a red gas Aga in keeping with the character of the cottage. There is a cream ceramic sink with a drainer beneath the window and there is plenty of floor space for a dining table and seating for six, ideal for any occasion.

A glazed door leads to the courtyard garden, a staircase rises to the first floor, and a door leads into the spacious living room which is filled with light from a window to the front with another window seat beneath. There is also a half-glazed door to the front providing an alternative way in and out. A decorative fireplace makes a nice feature and focal point for the room and there is display shelving built into an alcove in the thick stone wall.

Upstairs, the master bedroom is a good-sized double with plenty of natural light from the window to the front, and has a built in wardrobe. There is another large second bedroom with a window to the front offering fabulous views of Denbury Down, with a walk-in wardrobe that has an automatic light providing an abundance of clothes storage. A shower room is carpeted and has part-tiled walls containing a large shower enclosure, a pedestal basin, a WC and a heated towel rail and the landing has an airing cupboard with an insulated hot water cylinder and slatted shelving for linen. A hatch in the landing ceiling provides access to the loft space where there is a drop-down ladder and lights for convenience, and partial boarding providing plenty of additional storage space.

Outside, the rear garden is charming, private and fully-enclosed making it pet-friendly. It is low-maintenance, with a terrace of paving bordered by stonewalled beds well-stocked with plants and flowers, making a lovely outside space for alfresco dining or a barbecue. Steps lead up to a raised terrace with a wooden balustrade, making a fabulous outside space for enjoying the afternoon/evening sunshine and tranquil surroundings, while sharing a bottle of wine with loved ones. Beneath the terrace is a useful garden store area with some timber decking. There is an outside tap and a water butt harvesting rainwater for watering. While this property has no parking, it is available on road nearby if required and there is a regular bus service into the market town of Newton Abbot.
