Property description
DESCRIPTION A Delightful two bedroom cottage set within a private driveway with two other cottages which were once part of the 'Mount View House` Estate. Offering country style living, in the middle of Plymouth is only part of the charm this delightful property has to offer. As you approach the property from Tavistock Road along the private drive which is shared with the other cottages it is immediately apparent that this is a unique setting. Formally part of a stable block for the adjoining Mount View House, the cottage was converted for use by farm workers in approximately 1899 until being sold off to private dwellers in the 1950's. There are gates from the driveway leading to the private courtyard and gravelled patio to the front of the cottage which gets the sun throughout the afternoon and has ample space for table and chairs. In addition to the attractive courtyard garden there is a further detached level garden nearby to the property.
The accommodation inside is presented to a good standard with modern conveniences such as uPVC double glazing, mains operated gas central heating with combination boiler, modern fitted kitchen and bathroom and yet much of the rustic feel has not been lost with the incorporation of the heavy, thick stone walls, low window levels and 'quirky' half steps from some of the rooms.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, and the family bathroom which all have uPVC double glazed windows and radiators. Downstairs there is a 20ft plus lounge/diner which offers storage, timber effect flooring and window to both the front and back, with a door to the patio area. There is a modern fitted kitchen which has plenty of cupboard space, an integral oven and hob, and a washing machine, not common for such an old building. There is also the benefit of a porch/utility area leading into the house from the courtyard which offers units and work top space.
