DESCRIPTION
Rambler, 1 Kelland Cottages is a beautifully presented semi-detached period cottage located in a stunning rural location just outside the picturesque village of Lapford with the most incredible country views of the surrounding Devon countryside as apparent from the photos.
The property is set in stunning gardens & grounds to about 1.75 acres which comprise of a pony paddock with small copse, a large productive vegetable garden, an orchard and beautifully presented formal cottage gardens literally brimming with colourful plants & shrubs.
There are a range of outbuildings including workshops, a tractor shed, open fronted store plus a greenhouse and ample off road parking for numerous vehicles including agricultural machinery, trailers, caravan, boat, horseboxes etc. There is a private driveway which serves only this property, and sweeps along the boundary of the paddock giving a real “country house” feel to the approach.
The cottage itself offers beautifully presented accommodation with character features including a heavily beamed ceiling, a large open hearth fireplace with bread oven & cast iron door, deep window sills etc. The kitchen features a range of hand built units plus an Esse oil fired range cooker (which also provides hot water and central heating) with the dining area taking full advantage of the fine rural views. There is a ground floor bedroom 3 with adjacent shower room, 2 first floor bedrooms again with a shower room, and a lovely conservatory which overlooks the garden.
Rambler would be ideal for someone seeking an affordable property with land, and with properties like this rarely coming to the market, we advise an early inspection to avoid any disappointment!
