Description

Nestled at the edge of Modbury, Cawte Cottage is a charming detached residence brimming with character and potential. This property features off-road parking, a lovely garden, and a separate garage with an adaptable room overhead, perfect for conversion into a home office or entertainment space. Inside, you're welcomed by a reception/dining hall that sets the tone with its stone flooring and ascending staircase. The expansive living room boasts a vaulted ceiling adorned with beams, enhanced by a gas log burner and French doors leading to a sunlit patio—ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. A modern extension at the rear introduces a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, offering adaptable living options for guests or single-level occupancy. The well-appointed kitchen includes numerous storage solutions and features premium appliances such as a Smeg range cooker, while the adjoining garden room bathes in natural light and opens directly onto a tranquil outdoor dining area. Also on this level is a practical utility room and WC. Upstairs accommodates two generously sized bedrooms, each with their own en-suite facilities, providing privacy for all. The exterior features include double timber gates leading to ample driveway parking and access to the garage equipped with an electric door. Above it lies a versatile space suitable for various uses. The surrounding lawned garden offers serenity amid mature trees and landscaped borders. Notably, Cawte Cottage presents significant potential for further development (subject to planning permissions), such as adding another bedroom above existing areas or enhancing the kitchen extension to increase living space. Set in scenic Modbury—a Georgian town renowned for its picturesque surroundings—this property is ideally located close to local amenities including shops, schools, health services, and public transport links. The vibrant town atmosphere combined with proximity to stunning beaches makes it an excellent investment opportunity.
