This 17th century thatched cottage for sale sits in five acres of land and has its own feature lake.
Greenaway Cottage, in Stockleigh Pomeroy, is Grade II listed and was extended in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Period features of the property are in no short supply, with rendered and painted cob walls, ledged doors, original fireplaces and oak beams.
On the ground floor of the cottage, there are two reception rooms, both with wood-burning stoves and one, the sitting room, featuring a door out to the garden.
The reception rooms flank the kitchen and breakfast room, which is fully fitted with an island and built-in appliances, as well as featuring exposed ceiling timbers and a slate floor.
Completing this level is a dining room, a bedroom which is currently used as an office, and a separate shower room, as well as a separately accessible laundry room.
Upstairs, there is a principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room, two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The property also comes with an annexe which has permission to be used for short term holiday letting and contains two bedrooms.
The gardens span approximately an acre of lawns with a low-walled formal garden to the front with a central water feature, while to the side is a sheltered seating area and to the rear is a paved terrace.
Past the gardens, the grounds stretch for a further five acres, bringing the total to 5.93 acres, including a secluded lake which is a “haven” for wildlife, a meadow, a woodland walk and a barbecue hut.
Also in the grounds are a shepherd’s hut, a garage, and a timber barn used as a workshop.
The property is being sold by estate agent Stags for a price of £1,200,000.
