Guide Price £550,000 - £575,000
A rare opportunity to purchase a part-thatched period cottage situated in a delightful rural setting with panoramic countryside views

DESCRIPTION
Believed to date back so far as the 16th century, Wayside Cottage is a phenomenal country home with a perfect blend of period charm alongside modern conveniences.

Beginning its life as a much smaller home, the cottage has been thoughtfully extended to both the side and rear now offering spacious, adaptable and versatile accommodation laid over two floors. The original thatched cottage seamlessly flows into the modern extension and the property has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the wonderful countryside views to the rear.

Entering the Wayside Cottage from the front through an original feature wooden door, one is greeted by an entrance hallway off of which the living accommodation can be found. Believed to have been an addition many years ago, the kitchen/breakfast room is a wonderful space with triple aspect overlooking the front, side and rear and feature vaulted ceiling. The kitchen provides plenty of worktop space, an integrated Neff oven and hob, a Belfast sink and a feature oil-fired range cooker. Also accessed from the entrance hallway is the dining room, an intimate room filled with character, including a feature stained glass porthole, timber beams and a timber staircase which rises to the first floor. On the first floor is a double bedroom and modern bathroom, providing a fantastic private master suite with vaulted ceiling and original timber beams also.

Returning to the ground floor, a doorway leads from the dining room into the newer addition to the property. Believed to have been completed in the 1960’s, the rear portion of the property sits under a slate roof with accommodation accessed from a central hallway. Firstly there is a very special living room, a truly wonderful space which has been very well designed to incorporate the garden and the far reaching views, with bi-folding doors and a wood burning stove. There are also two further bedrooms in the newer part of the property, both of which are nicely proportioned, and a modern wet room.

It is very apparent when visiting Wayside Cottage that it has been extremely well cared for and maintained by its current owner who is sad to leave it behind.

SITUATION
Venton is a peaceful and convenient little hamlet, nestled amongst local farmland but also just a few moments drive from nearby Plympton where most local amenities can be found. Located nearby in the village of Hemerdon, The Miner's Arms is a well regarded local pub and restaurant. Bus links operate through Plympton giving access into Plymouth and other areas across the city. Venton is also served by local schools, including Sparkwell All Saints Primary School in the neighbouring village of Sparkwell, along with both Ivybridge Community College and Plympton Acadamy as the nearest secondary schools.

OUTSIDE
Approaching the cottage from the front, there is a stone chipped area providing off-road parking for two vehicles. A gate leads from the parking area to the rear garden which is enclosed, mostly laid to lawn and predominately level, boasting a useful garden storage shed. At the rear of the property and accessed via the living room is a mature rockery, with an assortment of plants, bushes and flowering shrubs, along with a wonderful seating area which sits on the edge of the plot and is the best place to enjoy the surrounding farmland and views which wrap around the property. Additionally there is a single garage with electronically operated roller door.
