3 bed detached house for sale

Marldon, Compton TQ3

Description

Luscombe Maye are delighted to bring to market Myrtle Cottage, a charming three bedroom home set in the heart of Compton—one of South Devon’s most charming semi-rural villages, nestled on the edge of the stunning South Hams countryside. Surrounded by rolling hills and unspoilt views, this delightful period home offers the perfect escape for those in search of a tranquil lifestyle or a beautifully appointed second home.

The interior of the property blends timeless character with modern touches. A spacious entrance hall offers flexibility as a study space or additional dining area, leading through to a generous living/dining room, where a log-burning stove creates a cosy and inviting focal point. The recently updated kitchen features contemporary units, complementary worktops, and a selection of built-in appliances. There is also a useful utility room and downstairs WC.

Upstairs, three well-sized double bedrooms enjoy glorious rural views across neighbouring countryside and a National Trust-owned apple orchard. Two stylish shower rooms recently fitted with quality fixtures, complete the first-floor layout, offering both practicality and elegance.

Lovingly maintained by the current owners, the cottage is presented to a high standard throughout, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere in every room.

To the rear is a recently landscaped garden which is not overlooked and has a small lawn and a gravelled area for table and chairs, bordered by a flower bed retained by a decorative low wall of reclaimed stone. There is a mature Myrtle tree giving the house its name. Decorative and practical metal trellis completes the new handrails, and a double-glazed door leads from the garden to the upstairs landing. A useful garden shed, professionally constructed, complete with floor, guttering and water butt, sits in a corner of the site and provides storage for garden tools and furniture. The wood store, feeding the wood burning stove, is sited outside the back door.

The front garden has also been recently landscaped, is a suntrap being south westerly facing, with mature flower border and shrubs including Rose bushes and Wisteria. The area is spacious with room for substantial outdoor furniture and enjoys sunshine all day during the summer months. The outlook over National Trust orchards is a joy all year round attracting wildlife and birds including glorious pheasants which can be seen and heard in gardens any time of day.
