DIRECTION
From Totnes proceed along the A382 Kingsbridge/Dartmouth road heading towards Harbertonford. Smokey Cottage will be found on the Right hand side before reaching the village of Harbertonford just after the down hill approach.

SITUATION
Smokey Cottage is situated on the outskirts of the desirable village of Harbertonford and is only a short drive from Totnes and all its facilities. Harbertonford itself offers an excellent village shop and post office, pub, petrol station, popular church and primary school. The village is actively involved with its close neighbouring village of Harberton which falls within the same parish and also offers a pub, church and thriving village hall and playing field. The ancient borough of Totnes being only a few miles away enjoys a prominent position above the River Dart. The town is one of Devon's gems: full of both colour and character that stems from a rich cultural, historical and archaeological heritage. It is the second oldest borough in England and is full of facilities to include its own hospital, two supermarkets, interesting shops and galleries together with the riverside walks, Guild Hall, churches and its very own Norman Castle. The railway station links directly with London Paddington and the A38 Devon Expressway is only 15 minutes away joining it at Buckfastleigh, giving excellent access to Plymouth and northbound Exeter.

DESCRIPTION
Smokey Cottage presents purchasers with a rare opportunity to acquire a five bedroom rural residence comprising 2 detached dwellings.

There are delightful gardens to the front of the cottage which are mainly laid to lawn, a patio area between the cottage and the barn and a further lawned garden to the rear of the barn. The property is surrounded by open farmland which provides a distinctive rural ambience. The first property is a detached three bedroom character cottage behind which is a substantial two bedroom detached barn conversion.
