Property description
This charming cottage is thought to date back to the late 17th century and is set within the desirable area of Plympton St. Maurice which offers fantastic historic walks, local amenities, schools and a lovely village atmosphere. The exterior of this property lives up to the name with a pretty grapevine and a charming character door leading into a sizeable lounge with a stone chimney breast and a woodburner inset which I`m sure would be a loved feature throughout the winter months. This leads through to a spacious dining room with a gas woodburner style fire and this then flows nicely into the kitchen/breakfast room which overlooks the breathtaking garden. There is a useful study area again with a lovely outlook which I`m sure would make getting any work done difficult.There is a stunning bathroom offering a roll top bath and separate shower cubicle. Upstairs there are three sizeable bedrooms all continuing the lovely cohesion between character charm and modern decor. The garden is like an enchanted space full of blossoming flowers with various areas to sit and enjoy the sun and plenty of space for the family pet or children to run about. There is also a garage offering that much needed off road parking, a workshop and a further driveway for two cars. This property is being offered with no onward chain

Lounge
c. 17`0" max x 12`11" (5.18m max x 3.93m)
The inside to this character cottage doesn`t disappoint with with exposed beams and a charming stone fireplace with multi fuel woodburner inset creating a beautiful focal point to this spacious room. I`m sure this would be a wonderful space to sit and enjoy an evening in with friends and family with the fire roaring. There is a window seat and a door providing access upstairs, another provides access into the dining room and a final door offers access into the study. There are two pendant light fittings with a further wall light, there is also a radiator.
Dining Room
c. 14`3" max x 8`7" (4.34m x 2.61m)
The dining room is a lovely proportioned space with a gas log burner style fire in the inglenook it offers a great room to entertain friends and family in. I can only imagine how lovely it would be during the festive season with the fire on enjoying some good food, wine and company. There is a beamed ceiling, parquet flooring and a chandelier light fitting.
Kitchen
c. 14`3" x 9`10" (4.34m x 2.99m)
This is a typical farmhouse style kitchen perfectly in keeping with the cottage, but quite surprisingly much larger than your typical kitchens from this era. There is a stunning view out over one of the prettiest gardens I have ever seen which offers a pleasant backdrop whilst doing the dishes. The kitchen itself has a traditional terracotta tiled floor, overhead spotlighting and boasts an abundance of worktop and storage space. It also has a breakfast bar perfect for grabbing a quick bite to eat. A cupboard houses the boiler. and there is a radiator and spotlighting. There is an integrated ceramic sink with drainer, an oven, hob and extractor and space for a fridge/freezer and washing machine. There is also a radiator.
Study
c. 13`5" x 4`9" (4.08m x 1.44m)
This is a fantastic addition whether utilised as a home office or perhaps a play room allowing all the toys to be kept in one place. The current owners utilise it as a study offering a well formed space for those that need to work from home, although I`m not sure how much work you would achieve with such a pretty outlook out over the rear garden. There is a light fitting and a radiator to conclude.
Family Bathroom
c. 10`6" x 6`5"max (3.20m x 1.95m)
The family bathroom is a stunning space with tasteful decor and tiles, it really would be a lovely relaxing space to take a well earned soak in the roll top bath at the end of a stressful day. There is a corner shower cubicle with a shower inset, a white low level wc and a matching wash hand basin. There is a heated towel rail, radiator and ceiling and over mirror light fittings. There is also a velux window allows a lot of light into this stunning room, underfloor heating and two extractors have been fitted.
First Floor
Landing
The landing provides access to the three bedrooms and is concluded with a light fitting.
Bedroom One
c. 13`5" x 10`10" (4.08m x 3.30m)
The master bedroom is a light and airy room and like the rest of this charming home has been tastefully decorated allowing an easy move into this property with minimal fuss. There is a fitted cupboard and further space available either side of the chimney breast for further storage should it be required. There is a radiator and a light fitting.
Bedroom Two
c. 14`3" X 8`6" (4.34m x 2.59m)
This is another substantial double bedroom with dual aspect windows making it a fantastic guest room or ample for any child`s space. There is a radiator and a light fitting to conclude.
Bedroom Three
c. 7`10" x 6`6" (2.38m x 1.98m)
The final bedroom would make a great hobby room or child`s room with enough space for a bed to go either way in the room and again it is finished with a radiator and a light fitting.
Outside
The rear garden is like a hidden gem enclosed by a stone wall offering a good degree of privacy but catches the sun pretty much all of the day offering a fantastic garden to sit out in and catch some sun with a glass of wine at the end of the day. This garden is well stocked with mature flowers and shrubs that you can see has been a labour of love to the current owners but could easily be maintained even if you`re not green fingered as most of the shrubs are quite hardy and take care of themselves. The garden is arranged into separate areas with a raised area put to lawn with borders which lead up to a patio area where there is a lovely gazebo to sit under. There is another area put to Cotswold stone chippings which is perfect for sitting with a cup of tea of a morning but also provides the pathway to the garage and workshop.
Around the other side of the cottage you can find a driveway offering off road parking for two cars.
Garage & Workshop
24`10"max x 19`4" max (7.56m max x 5.89m max)
This is such a fantastic addition as many homes within this area have no facilities for parking and especially not a garage. The garage and workshop is great for those that are into their cars or woodwork offering a fantastic private space for this with power and lighting.
