Rock Cottage, 1 New Road is an individual late Victorian/Edwardian stone-faced property positioned on a slightly elevated, yet level, corner plot. It offers flexible accommodation with original period features including a patterned tiled floor in the hall, leaded windows, solid wood panelled doors, and a marble fireplace fitted with a modern eco multi-fuel burner in the living room. The dining room also has an Ashburton marble fireplace.
There is a large multi-purpose garden-studio room which, together with the adjoining study/fourth bedroom and shower room, has potential for a small self-contained ground floor suite. This area also has a separate entrance. Outside, there is a mature garden, walled on three sides, and enjoying a good deal of privacy and with outlook over roof tops to green hillsides. It has an abundance of roses, a prolific cooking apple tree, rhubarb, and gooseberry/blackcurrant bushes. On-road parking is readily available in the vicinity.
Buckfastleigh is a small friendly town and local amenities are a 2 minute walk including a primary school, health centre, churches, open air lido and playground, numerous cafes/pubs, hair salon, ATMs and retail shops on the historic Fore Street such as a pharmacy, Co-op supermarket and independent green grocers. Buckfastleigh regularly celebrates on Fore Street, including a winter festival and Lamb Pie Day and throughout the year an open air farmers market allows you to meet the local growers and buy their wonderful produce for almost zero food miles.
Excellent transport links and high speed broadband make this an ideal property for a quick commute or working from home. City centre amenities of Exeter or Plymouth are both a 25 minute drive and direct bus services also depart from a few minutes walk away. The towns of Totnes and Newton Abbot are little more than a 20 minute drive and each have mainline railway stations.
