Description
Lee Cottage is situated in a rural yet readily accessible setting at Bickington on the edge of Dartmoor National Park and within easy reach of the A38 Expressway for Exeter and Plymouth. There is excellent walking and riding literally on the doorstep.
Bickington village has a church, meeting hall and pub/restaurant. Nearby Liverton has a shop, two pubs and excellent primary school. The town of Ashburton is a seven minute drive and has a wide range of shops and amenities including primary and secondary schools. There is also an independent co-ed school at Stover, around a ten minute drive.
Lee Cottage is a substantial detached period property with a stone and render façade. It offers spacious and characterful accommodation including three reception rooms (two with granite fireplaces with wood-burners), a family kitchen-dining room and five bedrooms. There are ceiling timbers, exposed stonework and plenty of double glazed leaded windows letting in the natural light.
At the far end of the property a separate entrance opens to the one bedroom annexe which offers excellent income potential from Airbnb or long-term letting (estimated rental value £750 pcm) or would equally be suitable for multi-generational living.
The grounds extend to approximately 1.17 acres (as measured on Promap) and nicely surround the property. There are areas of lawn, sloping grassed banks and numerous trees. A hardstanding area provides parking for several vehicles and there are excellent outbuildings including stables, car port, barn and field shelter.
The property is extremely versatile and offers much potential for a buyer to add their own stamp. It is offered for sale with no onward chain.
