Property description

A most attractive stone built victorian cottage located in an elevated position on the outskirts of the delightful village of Down St Mary.


A most attractive stone built Victorian cottage located in an elevated position on the outskirts of the delightful village of Down St Mary, enjoying far reaching countryside views across open farmland towards Copplestone.


The property has been renovated by the current owners, including installation of replacement uPVC double glazing, a new bathroom, redecoration and new floor coverings. The cottage is set back nicely from the quiet country lane by a small enclosed garden with stone wall. To the rear of the property is a useful stone built store shed.


There is a comfortably sized living room with feature fireplace opening into a kitchen/diner on the ground floor, which then leads through to a rear entrance and utility and cloakroom. On the first floor are two double bedrooms, the front bedroom enjoying magnificent views, and being of good proportions with a walk in wardrobe. There is also a family bathroom which has a replacement white suite with chrome fixtures and fittings. The second floor is taken up with a superb master bedroom with stunning views and under eaves storage.


Approximately half a mile down the road, at Morchard Road, is the popular Devonshire Dumpling public house and the village green is located a short walk away. One mile towards Copplestone is Waterbridge golf course, a popular 9 hole golf course with club house and shop.
