Springfield Cottage is a most charming, detached Devon longhouse, dating back to the 1600’s. Located within Dartmoor National Park and on the edge of the quiet village of Old Liverton, it is also just a short drive from the Moorland town of Bovey Tracey.

The south-facing garden is bursting with classic country cottage charm, and enjoys superb far-reaching views.

Springfield Cottage welcomes you with an inviting entrance porch, that is large enough to provide seating. This leads into the open-plan sitting room and dining area. These spaces are tastefully divided by a central staircase that extends up to the first floor. In the sitting room, the focal point is the charming inglenook fireplace, complete with an inset wood burner and a wooden mantle beam above. The dining room is spacious and comfortably accommodates a large dining table and chairs, alongside other furniture. Both rooms benefit from windows that overlook the picturesque garden.

The kitchen, recently refitted, boasts a timeless olive-green cottage design. It features an array of built-in cupboards along with a freestanding cooker, dishwasher, and two refrigerators, all of which are included in the sale. Additionally, a well-designed shower room is conveniently located on the ground floor. For those seeking a separate utility area, an attached outbuilding accessible from the garden offers space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and additional white goods. This sizable area also provides valuable storage space.

The first floor accommodates three, generously sized bedrooms with each of them offering views of the garden, showcasing stunning vistas of farmland and woodland. One of the bedrooms has a walk-in wardrobe, and the other two are interconnecting. The family bathroom is fully equipped with both a bath and a separate shower.

The garden is wonderfully private and boasts multiple seating areas, a serene fish pond, and flourishing apple and pear trees. Flowerbed borders are brimming with mature country cottage flora, enhancing the charm. Adding to its appeal is an attractive summer house and a timber potting shed/greenhouse. Accessible through the utility outbuilding, an enclosed courtyard provides another delightful space to enjoy.

Springfield Cottage features a private driveway with parking space for two vehicles, and an electric car charging point. Adjacent to the driveway stands a historic building, bearing remnants of a fireplace that hint at its residential past.
