Pond Cottage
Character thatched Devon long house in a rural setting close to the coast at Thurlestone
Luscombe Maye have been instructed to market a charming Grade II Listed thatched Devon Long House situated in a delightful rural setting about one mile inland from the coast at Thurlestone.
Pond Cottage is situated in the hamlet of Upton about three miles from Kingsbridge and four miles from Salcombe.
The property enjoys far-reaching south-facing views over landscaped gardens and grounds to the rolling South Hams countryside beyond. The property, a quintessential Grade II Listed Devon Long House has well-proportioned rooms with a south-facing aspect and rendered colour-washed elevations under a thatched roof.
The garden and grounds extend to about 1¼ acres on the south side of the property. The accommodation briefly comprises hall, cloak/utility room, kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room and dining room on the ground floor. On the first floor are three bedrooms (the master bedroom with a dressing room) and there are two bathrooms.
On the east end of Pond Cottage is an attached cottage suitable for a self-contained annexe or it could be incorporated into the main accommodation. This briefly comprises living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. The gardens and grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped and improved, including large lawns and illuminated slate patios, to form a truly magnificent outside area for al fresco entertaining, and these lead to a stone wall ‘ha-ha’, and newly constructed stone wall terraces are interspersed by a winding pathway leading to a pond and paddock.
Colourful plants, shrubs and mature trees include hydrangea, honeysuckle, dahlia and roses, all adding to the stunning backdrop to Pond Cottage throughout the year. There are extensive outbuildings including an open-fronted double garage, three separate stores and a driveway/parking area and a York stone gravelled entrance.
On the eastern side of the building is a further single garage. Pond Cottage is on the market by private treaty at an asking price of £1.25 million. Illustrated brochures can be obtained from the Kingsbridge office of Luscombe Maye (01548 857474) or kingsbridge@luscobmemaye.com.
