2 bed cottage for sale

Eaton Place, Paignton TQ4

The Property

This delightful thatched cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home brimming with character whilst enjoying the convenience of being just a short walk from the town centre, seafront and a wealth of local amenities.

The cottage forms part of a row of historic cob and thatch cottages, Eaton Place enjoys a wonderfully tucked-away setting that feels a world away from the hustle and bustle, yet remains exceptionally well connected. The property can be dated back to the mid to late 1600's and the battle of Plymouth when the Dutch sank the British fleet in the Channel. It is documented that beams from the destroyed ships were carried on the tide and washed up at Goodrington, where they were repurposed into many of the thatched cottages along Fisher street and beyond.

The accommodation is full of charm and period features throughout. The welcoming living area provides a spacious yet cosy space, with exposed beams, a substantial fireplace and stone walls. The kitchen offers ample cupboards & work top space for even the keenest cook, beyond there is a conservatory linking to the garden which is perfect as a dining room. A useful utility room/cloakroom sits off the conservatory.

To the first floor are two well-proportioned bedrooms together with a spacious & well appointed family bathroom which includes a bath with a central tap, separate shower cubicle and a basin set atop an array of cupboards. The cottage successfully combines historic character with the comforts expected of modern living.

Outside, the property enjoys a private rear garden providing a pleasant space for relaxing, entertaining or enjoying a morning coffee. The setting is surprisingly peaceful considering its central location.
