Charming and Exceptionally Versatile 1840s Cottage with enclosed gardens and superb outbuildings for sale

This attractive cottage for sale with Luscombe Maye dates back to the 1840s and is full of period charm.

The property, on Lodge Lane in Brixton, has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, benefitting from an extension offering excellent flexibility for family living, guests or home working.

The property is a particularly appealing example of a traditional Devon cottage, retaining the character and individuality expected of a home of this age while incorporating a substantial extension and a versatile arrangement of accommodation suited to contemporary family life. With its combination of period features, generous living space, private gardens and an impressive range of outbuildings, it offers considerably more than a conventional three-bedroom cottage.

The principal living areas combine the warmth and atmosphere of a historic Devon home with the practicality expected of a modern residence. Period details provide a sense of authenticity, while the later additions create the space and adaptability that can sometimes be difficult to find in traditional village properties.

The accommodation is therefore equally attractive to a family looking for a long-term home, purchasers seeking multi-generational accommodation, or those wanting sufficient space to entertain, work and pursue hobbies without compromising the character of their surroundings.

Outside, the beautifully enclosed gardens provide an exceptional degree of privacy and create a peaceful environment in which to enjoy the outdoors. Established planting, areas of lawn and sheltered spaces combine to create a garden that is both attractive and practical, with ample opportunity for outdoor dining, entertaining, children's play or simply enjoying the tranquillity of village life.

A notable feature of the property is the collection of traditional stone outbuildings. These provide a wonderful complement to the cottage and offer an unusual amount of useful ancillary space.

The property is on the market for a guide price of £650,000 with Luscombe Maye.
