Bickington, Newton Abbot, TQ12

A charming, deceptively spacious character cottage with two double bedrooms, parking, and an enclosed south-facing rear garden, in the village of Bickington, with easy access to the A38 to Plymouth, Exeter and the M5.

Inside, it is well-presented with light and neutral décor, feels warm with electric storage heating and a wood-burning stove, and has character and charm in abundance with its asymmetrical rooms, exposed beams, and thick walls.

It is deceptively spacious, with the accommodation comprising, on the ground floor, an entrance porch with a door into a storage room and a convenient ground floor cloakroom with a WC and basin. The good-sized dual aspect living room has windows to the front and rear, a staircase to the first floor and a fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove that makes a wonderful feature and focal point for the room. A door leads into a box room/study with a window to the rear garden.

The fabulous kitchen/dining room in a country kitchen style has hardwood worktops and a range of bespoke cupboards providing ample cupboard space. There is a ceramic sink and mixer tap, space for a cooker, room for a fridge, and spaces with plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher. There is plenty of floor space for a dining table and seating, ideal for any occasion, and a back door to the garden.

Upstairs is surprisingly spacious with a large landing room that would make a great study area for those working from home, two excellent double bedrooms, and a family bathroom with panelled walls containing a bath with a shower over, a WC, a basin and an airing cupboard containing an insulated hot water cylinder.

Outside, the south-facing rear garden, which backs onto a meadow, is charming and private with a paved patio and other tranquil spaces in which to sit and enjoy a picnic tea or a barbecue. It is nicely landscaped with a lawn and an area of gravel, bordered by well-established beds of flowers and shrubs, with a wonderful magnolia in the centre.

At the end of the terrace there is an off-road parking area with space for two cars.
