"A secluded Grade II-listed period home with private parking in the heart of an unspoiled riverside village "
The Property
This is the perfect period home, in the heart of the unspoilt riverside village of Dittisham, yet totally Tucked away …
The Nook is in a truly peaceful, ‘chocolate box’ location providing a perfect home to relax in this beautiful riverside village and explore the wider South Hams.
A very pretty cottage, this Grade II-listed building is about 350 years old and has been lovingly renovated to a wonderful standard, combining modern living with lots of original cottage features to ensure a very comfortable home year-round.
Approached off Lower Street, step onto the tiled floor of the Entrance Hallway, a bright space in which to meet and greet guests with plenty of space for coats and boots as well as an ever-so-useful general storage cupboard.
Open the latched door and emerge into the Living Room, a cosy family space, with exposed stone inglenook beams and a log burner set in a recessed stone hearth. The white-washed walls, oak flooring and exposed beams really set the ambience in this characterful room. A delightful window seat to the front provides pretty views over Lower Street, why not wine and dine your guests in comfort in the Dining Area with a handy hatch that opens through to the Kitchen.
Through the doorway emerge into the kitchen. Practical tiled flooring combines with country cream tones in this family-friendly kitchen, fitted with a host of modern appliances and filled with light. A stable door leads to the attractive rear patio Garden and the ample private Parking for up to 4 cars. A traditional curved stairway leads up to the first floor from the Living Room.
Step through the cottage latched door into the Main Bedroom that maintains the cosy cottagey feel with white-washed beams and casement features with bags of handy storage space and a built-in wardrobe. Another period latched doorway leads to the second Bedroom, with a period casement window to the front and a feature beam over. A family Bathroom also sits on this floor with a bath containing an overhead shower, a vanity unit wash basin with a mirror over it, a lavatory and a heated towel radiator offering refreshment and relaxation to all.
The Nook enjoys a delightful, private suntrap Garden with plenty of space for alfresco entertaining – an idyllic spot to watch the sunset. This area is laid to gravel with footpaths and has plenty of space for outdoor furniture. The Garden also provides access to the highly sought-after private Parking that The Nook has in abundance – a rare treat in this riverside village.
