The Cottage
This charming period cottage is rich in character and warmth, offering a wonderful blend of traditional features and comfortable living accommodation. Retaining many original details, the property exudes a timeless appeal, with exposed ceiling timbers, feature fireplaces, and a welcoming, homely atmosphere throughout.
The principal reception rooms are particularly inviting, with the sitting room centred around a wood-burning stove set within a fireplace recess, creating a cosy focal point. The dining room continues the theme of rustic charm, with its stone and brick fireplace surround and characterful finishes, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
At the heart of the home lies a well-appointed kitchen, thoughtfully designed with slate work surfaces and complemented by a traditional oil-fired Aga, adding both practicality and a classic country feel. The adjoining conservatory/sun room provides a light-filled space to relax and enjoy the views.
Gardens
Set within approximately 0.3 acres, this stunning garden offers a variety of vantage points from which to enjoy breathtaking valley views, surrounded by a blend of tree-lined scenery and open agricultural landscapes.
The property is ideal for those with a passion for gardening. While the grounds are predominantly laid to lawn for ease of maintenance, they also feature a raised vegetable garden, a greenhouse, and a selection of recently constructed workshops and substantial sheds-perfect for storage or pursuing hobbies.
A gated entrance provides parking for several vehicles, adding both convenience and privacy. To the front, a charming enclosed garden creates an inviting approach to the cottage.
Although the photographs capture the beauty of the grounds, they truly do not do them justice. Viewing in person is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this exceptional garden has to offer.
Situation
The village of Merton is a small and attractive rural community set amidst the rolling Devon countryside, offering a peaceful and unspoilt environment ideal for those seeking a quieter pace of life. Surrounded by farmland and woodland, the village enjoys a strong sense of community while remaining within easy reach of the larger market towns of Great Torrington and Okehampton, both of which provide a wider range of shops, services and amenities. The area is well placed for access to the dramatic landscapes of Dartmoor National Park, as well as the North Devon coastline.
Location
Merton itself offers a selection of useful local amenities, including a well-regarded primary school, parish church, and a traditional village inn, creating a welcoming and sociable setting. The nearby Tarka Trail provides excellent opportunities for walking and cycling through some of Devon’s most scenic countryside. Despite its tranquil setting, the village remains accessible, with road links connecting to surrounding towns and villages, ensuring a balance between rural charm and convenience.
