The cottage
A picture-perfect thatch cottage set amidst rural countryside, close to the village of Lifton on the edge of Dartmoor National Park.
Damson cottage is one of a small cluster of cottages at the end of a country track, in the tiny hamlet of Higher Rexton near the village of Broadwoodwidger.
Far reaching views from the garden stretch as far as Bodmin Moor and the cottage is conveniently placed just a few minutes drive from the A30, ideally placed for exploring Devon and Cornwall.
The cottage whilst having been tastefully modernised, is overflowing with character and charm, evident as you step over the threshold into the cosy sitting room.
A large inglenook fireplace takes centre stage, with original timber beams and whitewashed stone walls creating a wonderful cosy room to relax.
A bespoke and striking country kitchen with a central island and Rangemaster cooker with induction hob, will appeal greatly to keen cooks, and leads into a southwest facing modern and spacious conservatory, a more recent addition to the property.
Overlooking the pretty planted garden, the sunny spot acts as a separate dining area for the family to gather with additional comfortable seating to unwind with a good book or morning coffee.
There is a ground floor bathroom and a stone spiral staircase that leads to the first floor landing and the three attractive bedrooms.
An unusually narrow and low doorway leads into a spacious master bedrooms with views across the countryside.
