Description

A beautiful DETACHED home full of classic CHARM and CHARACTER, sat in a pretty village location. Far reaching COUNTRYSIDE VIEWS, attractive well maintained gardens and DRIVEWAY parking.

Springfield Cottage is a charming, detached Devon longhouse, dating back to the 1600’s. Located within Dartmoor National Park and on the edge of the quiet village of Old Liverton, it is also just a short drive from the Moorland town of Bovey Tracey. The cottage has been both a home and more recently a successful holiday let for many years and is presented in great condition throughout, retaining many of its original features. The south-facing garden has a classic country cottage charm, and enjoys lovely far-reaching views.

The property has an entrance porch, with space for seating, leading into an open-plan sitting room and dining area divided by a central staircase to the first floor. In the sitting room, the focal point is the charming inglenook fireplace, with wood burner and wooden beam above. The dining room is spacious and comfortably accommodates a large dining table and chairs, and both rooms have windows that overlook the picturesque garden.

The kitchen, recently refitted, has a timeless olive-green cottage design with an array of built-in cupboards and freestanding cooker, dishwasher, and two refrigerators.
There is a shower room on the ground floor and an attached outbuilding accessible from the garden offers utility space for a washing machine, dryer and storage space.

Depending on use of rooms, the first floor can be either two or three, generously sized bedrooms, each overlooking the garden, with views of farmland and woods beyond.

The main bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and is linked through a dressing room or Bedroom 3. The second bedroom is separate with a large built in wardrobe.

The garden is wonderfully private and has multiple sitting areas, a large pond, lawn and fruit trees. Mature flowerbed borders are brimming with country cottage flora adding to the charm of the garden. There is an attractive summer house and a timber potting shed/greenhouse. Accessible through the utility outbuilding, an enclosed courtyard provides another outside space to enjoy.

The property has a private driveway with parking space for two cars and has an electric car charging point. Adjacent to the parking area is a small detached outbuilding which has potential for conversion to a studio or home office (subject to any required consents).
