Description

This CHARMING COTTAGE forms part of a courtyard development of just six individual homes set in a semi-rural setting amidst rolling Devon fields.

Rocombe is serenely set between the coastal towns of Torquay and Teignmouth, both offering an array of amenities, leisure activities and mooring facilities, and the market town of Newton Abbot with railway station providing direct links to most major cities. The local Stokeinteignhead village amenities include community shop, primary school, village hall, pub and Church.

OWNER INSIGHT

"Honeysuckle Cottage has been a tranquil, calm, cosy home for us in the time we have been lucky enough to live there. Walks to Maidencombe Cove, Stokeinteignhead Village, or just the peace of being in the Cottage with its oak beamed glory (and wood burner in Winter), and patio/Garden in the Summer. Shops in Barton are just a 10 minute drive away and all other Major Supermarkets etc within 15 minutes make it central to amenities. It has proven to be an easy to heat & maintain cottage, along with it's lovely little garden and olde World Glasshouse with views of the Valley & hills. Unfortunately, carer duties & being close to family have necessitated our move, but hopefully Honeysuckle Cottage will give it's new owners the tranquility of everything it is, and its wonderful neighbours, to them."
