Description
The entrance porch which welcomes you when first entering Penny Pool Cottage is a good example as to how this home has been created and adapted for rural living, being a superb space for the storage of muddy boots, shoes and jackets. A door from the porch then leads directly into the first of the two reception rooms on offer, being a spacious living room. Enjoying a lovely dual aspect at the front of the home, the living room enjoys a lovely outlook over the gardens and a feature traditional open fire with decorative surround and hearth. Stairs rise to the first floor and underneath is a useful storage cupboard. A door then gives access to a pretty farmhouse-style kitchen which is perfectly in keeping with a property of this era and location. The kitchen comprises a range of wall and base units underneath a wooden worktop and includes integrated appliances such as an electric oven, hob, cooker hood and fridge. Sitting proudly within the kitchen is a ‘Rayburn’ range oven which controls the heating for the home and a traditional way of cooking. Just off of the kitchen is a rear passageway with a door to the gardens and a useful ground floor wet room, complete with shower fitting, toilet and basin. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the second reception room, currently arranged as a snug with phenomenal countryside views, however has previous seen use as a dining room or ground floor bedroom.
Situation
Corntown is a peaceful hamlet located just outside of the village of Cornwood, surrounded on all sides by rolling South Hams countryside and the rugged landscapes of Dartmoor National Park. Local amenities can be found within the nearby town of Ivybridge which has a bustling high street with a vast array of facilities including shops, cafes and restaurants. There are a number of local sporting facilities including Macauley’s Gym at Dinnaton and Ivybridge Leisure Centre. Cornwood boasts a popular church of England primary school and the village is served by Ivybridge Community College which provides a bus service for its pupils.
Outside
Pretty manicured gardens surround Penny Pool Cottage, providing a number of pleasant areas to enjoy. At the front there is a generous gated driveway with parking for at least two cars which sits in front of a detached single garage which is fitted with power and light. Unusually there is an additional room beneath the garage, perfect for storage, a studio or perhaps a home office. A delightfully sunny lawn sits at the front of the home and benefits from mottled shade from a silver birch tree.
