South Milton

Rock Cottage is a charming period home full of character features, set in 1 ¼ acres of beautiful mature gardens and grounds. 

A large central hallway leads into generously proportioned principal reception rooms. The dining room with its feature stone hearth is an ideal space for entertaining, whilst the living room, with its cosy wood burning stove and sunny window-seat overlooking the garden and stream, creates the perfect atmosphere to unwind in.

A kitchen/breakfast room with Aga-style cooker, adjoining the dining room, leads to a separate utility area and ground-floor shower room. Stone steps just outside the kitchen lead up to a secluded and sheltered patio beneath a fig tree, a gorgeous suntrap to enjoy a morning coffee in, or dine surrounded by the scent of wisteria blossoms that hug the back of the house in spring.

Upstairs, there is a further large living room with another feature fireplace, exposed beams and direct access out into the orchard. All four bedrooms have stunning views of the gardens and surrounding countryside, with use of a spacious family bathroom.

Outside, Rock Cottage boasts a number of useful outbuildings including a block-built garden shed, tractor shed, two garages and a generous workshop/store attached to the house. Both the workshop and primary tandem garage have power and light.

 The beautifully maintained grounds feature a well-established kitchen garden, mature orchard including apple, pear and walnut trees, that is carpeted in bluebells in spring, and an adjacent ¾ acre paddock with additional separate vehicle access.

Surrounded by mature trees and greenery, the property offers privacy and seclusion with ample driveway and garage parking.

Ideally located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the sought-after village of South Milton, and just over a mile from the picturesque South Hams coastline, the property offers access to the gorgeous local beaches via a footpath directly outside.  The nearby village of Thurlestone (known for Thurlestone Rock – an iconic local feature situated just off the coast of South Milton Sands) provides further amenities including a village shop, primary school, post office, church and the popular Village Inn public house.
