This charming cottage forms part of a courtyard development of just six individual homes set in a semi-rural setting amidst rolling Devon fields.

Rocombe is serenely set between the coastal towns of Torquay and Teignmouth, both offering an array of amenities, leisure activities and mooring facilities, and the market town of Newton Abbot with railway station providing direct links to most major cities. The local Stokeinteignhead village amenities include community shop, primary school, village hall, pub and Church.

Owner Insight
"Honeysuckle Cottage has been a tranquil, calm, cosy home for us in the time we have been lucky enough to live there. Walks to Maidencombe Cove, Stokeinteignhead Village, or just the peace of being in the Cottage with its oak beamed glory (and wood burner in Winter), and patio/Garden in the Summer. Shops in Barton are just a 10 minute drive away and all other Major Supermarkets etc within 15 minutes make it central to amenities. It has proven to be an easy to heat & maintain cottage, along with it's lovely little garden and olde World Glasshouse with views of the Valley & hills. Unfortunately, carer duties & being close to family have necessitated our move, but hopefully Honeysuckle Cottage will give it's new owners the tranquility of everything it is, and its wonderful neighbours, to them."
Step Inside
From the courtyard setting a stepped approach rises to the studded entrance door opening to the reception hall with slate flagstone flooring, character exposed beams and understairs storage. The sitting/dining room is a most characterful room with heavy beamed ceiling and Inglenook fireplace with multi-fuel stove, heavy beamed mantel and polished slate hearth. Picture window and door opens to an attractive courtyard garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of solid wood fronted units incorporating glass fronted china display cabinets, tiled worktops with inset sink unit and additional circular sink with matching drainer. Integrated double oven with grill, four ring gas hob (calor gas bottles), provisions for washing machine and fridge/freezer. Wall mounted oil fired boiler, heavy beamed ceiling, exposed brickwork and window overlooking the courtyard approach.
Step Upstairs
From the Reception Hall a turned staircase rises to the First Floor Landing with window overlooking the neighbouring field. Bedroom 1 has character sloping ceiling with exposed timber work, cupboard housing the new cylinder, bank of fitted wardrobes and window enjoying open views. Bedroom 2 with character sloping ceilings and exposed beams and window enjoying open views. The bathroom is fitted with contemporary white suite of panelled bath with shower over, circular sink set on vanity unit with generous storage beneath and WC. Industrial effect tiles and wainscot panelling, heavy beam to ceiling and window.

A stepped approach leads to the raised garden with generous Greenhouse and lawned garden positioned to the rear of the cottage with timber garden shed, brick paved small seating area, outside water tap and bordering the rear field.

Location
Rocombe is enviably placed between the towns of Torquay, Newton Abbot and Teignmouth. Torquay is nestled on the warm South Devon coast being a renowned resort town along with Paignton and Brixham which form the natural east facing harbour of Torbay. Torbay's wide selection of stunning beaches, picturesque coastline, mild climate and recreational facilities reinforce why it has rightfully earned the renowned nickname of the English Riviera.
Newton Abbot is a market town boasting a main line rail station with direct links to most major cities and is the gateway to the stunning Dartmoor National Park. Teignmouth is a large seaside town and historic fishing port set at the mouth of the Teign Estuary.
The Area Is Well Connected
By Train: The main line rail station of Newton Abbot is an approximate 15 minute drive away.
By Air: Exeter airport provides both UK and International flights.
By Sea: Torquay marina provides a safe haven for boats in all weathers, sheltered from the prevailing south-westerly winds.
Regional cities of Exeter and Plymouth approx 19 and 38 miles respectively; magnificent Dartmoor National Park approx.20 miles.
