Multi-generational Living Potential
If you are looking to escape it all, Rowan Cottage is the ideal antidote to hectic modern city life. Perfectly positioned amidst the picture-perfect rolling hills of the Devonshire countryside, yet within easy reach of the rail network and the bustling town of Dartmouth, Rowan Cottage offers the best of both worlds. The short drive through country lanes brings you to a small cluster of farmhouses and cottages. Pull into the Driveway - with space for two cars in front of the Garage - and you are transported to another time. The countryside is so green and the sky so blue. Take a deep breath of the freshest air and let your ears settle on the birdsong, the hum of nature and distant farm animals. You have arrived at a very special place: Rowan Cottage.
Once in the Living Room, a perfect stone fireplace gives this space great character, whilst the bay window maximises the light flooding into the room. A glazed door on the far side leads to the Garden Room, with vaulted ceilings and wraparound glazing. This glorious space has many possibilities - Dining Room, Games Room, Art Studio. It also has outdoor access.
The quintessential farmhouse Kitchen with its bright pine units has ample room for a dining table in the bay window; a wonderful breakfast nook, or simply sit and have a coffee, gazing out at the countryside beyond. There are some fabulous vintage features like the Pantry and coffee grinder. Beyond the Kitchen, there is a handy Cloakroom by the back door, a generous Bathroom with built-in airing cupboards, a separate WC and a ground-floor Bedroom that would lend itself brilliantly to an Office.
On the first floor, the high ceilings and split-level nature of the Hallway give a little nod that not all is as it seems in this house. Curiosity brings us to the first door - a dual aspect south-facing Bedroom. With very generous proportions and large window with Garden views, this boudoir is very special. A second dual-aspect Bedroom with ample built-in storage and equally as serene views is opposite.
Up another few steps and a surprise second Kitchen awaits, with a window providing glorious views out over the rolling Devon hills - surely making washing up a joy. At the time of writing, there is a red tractor harvesting the summer's offerings, the soft straw against a brilliant blue sky, framed by green fields and autumnal colours as far as the eye can see. Sunsets from this west-facing vista are truly spectacular. Also on this level is a second Family Bathroom, making Rowan Cottage ideal for two families or multi-generational living.
Equally as beautiful is the sunrise from our next space, with its compass-point views from each of the four windows, although the pièce de résistance is the East-facing oriel window. Imagine the colours and the quality of the light as the sun rises over the fields beyond. It is no wonder that the previous occupants used this huge room as a second Living Room so that everyone could enjoy the space.
Tear yourself away down the stairs to see what the Garden has to offer...
The owners of Rowan Cottage have clearly loved their Garden. The south-facing gem has been lovingly planted to maximise seasonal colours and shapes. There are fruit bushes and trees nestling alongside camelia bushes waiting for their time to bloom. A lovely private space to relax. Follow the pathway around the back of the house and there are two surprise Workshops, both with plenty of light and their own entrances. Enjoy breakfast al-fresco? A further private lawned area can be found with access to the back door, ideal for making the most of the morning sun.

About Dartmouth
The vibrant port of Dartmouth has fantastic amenities that will keep the family content year-round. From Tudor buildings, arty side streets, brilliant restaurants and pubs, fresh seafood and of course, the Dart itself, you’ll never be short of things to do – or eat. Yachtsmen will be delighted by the local sailing facilities and the world-renowned Royal Regatta. On the town’s doorstep, you will find the South West Coastal Path and the South Devon aonb area, providing a huge range of walks with unbeatable scenery. You can also hop in a boat and explore Kingswear or take the kids or grandkids on the steam railway. Beach lovers will be unable to resist the pretty coves and the glorious dog and family-friendly coastline, which is a world-class attraction in its own right. Those with a romantic frame of mind will also be happy to know that Dartmoor is within easy reach of the town. The nearest educational institution is the Ofsted-rated Good Dartmouth Academy, which is both a primary and secondary school. Across the water, Churston Ferrers Grammar School provides 11-18-year-olds with an Outstanding education.
