The Property
Dreaming of living in one of South Devon’s hidden gems? In fact, unless you sail past it on the River Dart you might never know it was there. If you are looking for a quiet, yet characterful place to live in Devon then it’s definitely worth a look. If you want all the trimmings of a riverside home with period features, sublime views and a Garden? Discover the dream at Berry Cottage.
This former 19th-century fisherman’s Cottage has been sympathetically and extensively refurbished to create a luxurious yet cosy home over three levels. Culinary comforts greet you, a modern twist on the typical cottage Kitchen, with pale shaker units topped with granite worktops. Finished in country cream tones this family-friendly space is fitted with a host of modern appliances. Filled with light through the roof light, the Kitchen opens up to a relaxed Dining Area. Cook up a feast as your guests gather around the farmhouse table to share a story and a glass of wine.
The delightful Sitting Area is full of period charm, with oak flooring and a walk-in bay window providing the perfect spot for your morning coffee. A large multi-fuel burner stands proud in this feature fireplace. Imagine cosy evenings with your loved ones curled up in front of the roaring fire long after sunsets on an eventful day boating on the river.
Take the charming staircase to discover the first of the two double Bedrooms. Coastal cottage charm abounds in this delightful room from the casement windows that frame the views out over the Quayside and the River Dart. The colours in the room reflect the waterside theme. Head up the stairs to refresh and revive in the En-suite Bathroom with a feature freestanding tub. Take a peak into the second Bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and a cute circular window providing a glimpse of the rear Garden. Next door discover a sumptuous Shower Room. Neat and modern, it also provides En-suite facilities for this Bedroom.
Externally
Time to head out to the Garden approached off the Kitchen up stone steps. A whitewashed wooden Studio provides a super third Bedroom for children to camp out on the built-in bunks with the added bonus of a WC or would make the perfect home office. A further set of stone steps offer access to the spacious wooden decking with bags of space for outdoor furniture, plus the added bonus of panoramic river views.
Designed with entertaining in mind, with plenty of space to accommodate Patios and seating areas, ideal for capturing the last of the evening sun. Soak up the splendour of this perfectly private setting, relax and unwind before retiring to bed after an evening spent entertaining.
