Description

Charisma Cottage enjoys a prime position just off the historic village square in the charming and highly regarded village of Drewsteignton. At the heart of the community lies the thriving, community-owned The Drewe Arms, a beautifully preserved village inn serving as a true social hub, renowned for its welcoming atmosphere, excellent local food and drink, and vibrant programme of events. Surrounded by exceptional countryside on the edge of Dartmoor National Park, the village offers an abundance of scenic walks directly from the doorstep. From tranquil riverside strolls through the Teign Valley to Fingle Bridge, to more adventurous routes leading to Castle Drogo, the area is ideally suited to those who enjoy outdoor pursuits and the natural beauty of Dartmoor.

Accommodation

A beautifully presented and deceptively spacious character cottage, thoughtfully combining period charm with contemporary comfort. Rich in original features including exposed beams, stone fireplaces and a charming thatched storm porch, the property offers versatile family accommodation arranged over two floors. The house is stone built, with small amounts of cob and a new thatched roof. The welcoming principal reception room is filled with natural light from two south-facing windows and centres around an attractive feature fireplace with decorative tiled inset. The generous kitchen/dining room is particularly appealing, featuring exposed stonework, oak detailing and a traditional bio-fuel range, creating a warm and inviting heart to the home.

Of particular note is the striking garden room extension, a superb contemporary addition with skylight and full-width bi-fold doors opening onto the gardens, flooding the space with light and creating an exceptional connection between the house and its surroundings. A useful study/hobbies room, secondary kitchen/utility and stylish ground floor wet room add further flexibility, with underfloor heating throughout this section powered by the eco-conscious pellet boiler system. To the first floor are four well-proportioned double bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom, with several rooms enjoying charming period details including cast iron fireplaces and fitted storage.

Gardens And Outbuilding

Outside, the delightful stone-walled gardens are a particular feature, principally laid to lawn with mature trees, colourful borders, patio seating areas and a productive vegetable garden. A substantial two-storey barn/workshop with vehicle access from the rear lane provides excellent storage, workshop potential or scope for a variety of uses, subject to any necessary consents.
