Charming three-bedroom detached cottage, offering period character, garage, expansive garden, and creek access just steps away. Nestled in a tranquil no-through-road hamlet, this is a rare and idyllic retreat.
Torr Cottage is a charming three-bedroom detached cottage, offering period character, a garage, an expansive garden, and creek access just steps away from the property. Nestled in a tranquil no-through-road hamlet, this is a rare and idyllic retreat.
This enchanting cottage, thought to date back to the 1700s, was thoughtfully extended in the 1960s to not only expand the living space, but to also enhance its seamless connection to the outstanding, large cottage garden. The generously proportioned oak kitchen/dining area boasts a large picture window framing scenic views of the garden, while the sunroom offers direct access to the outdoors.
The principal bedroom, complete with patio doors that lead to a private decked terrace, is complemented by an en-suite. A further ground-floor shower room provides added versatility.
The original part of the cottage greets you with an entrance porch, ideal for house plants, which flows into the inviting sitting room with a charming inglenook fireplace. A winding stone staircase leads to two further bedrooms effortlessly blending period charm with a cosy, hygge-inspired atmosphere.
OUTSIDE
The expansive gardens are beautifully laid out with sweeping lawns, framed by natural hedgerows and complemented by rustic stone walls, mature shrubs, and trees, creating a sanctuary for local wildlife. This enchanting garden is undoubtedly one of the property's most compelling features, further enriched by steps at the bottom of the garden, leading to the tranquil creek beyond; the tidal head of Cofflete Creek, a tributary of the River Yealm.
GARAGE
The property's garage is undoubtedly a significant asset, offering ample space for both secure parking and convenient storage for bikes, kayaks and canoes.
