For the current owners of Rose Cottage, it was love at first sightan instant connection felt the moment they first walked through the garden gate. To the front of the property is a south-facing garden filled with mature roses, creating a welcoming entrance to the home.
Positioned within the older part of Halberton, the cottage sits at the foot of a quiet no-through lane, with the village church tower visible in the background.
The heart of the home is the cosy living room. Centred around a woodburning stove, this inviting space serves as the primary retreat within the cottagea favourite room for the current owners to unwind. It retains a traditional, warm atmosphere while offering an effortless flow into the rest of the ground floor; a secondary seating area connects the lounge directly to the garden room, which spans the entire frontage of the property. This space features a solar glass roof designed to deflect glare on bright sunny days while retaining warmth during the winter months.
The kitchen/breakfast room is situated within the main property and opens directly through into this area, where additional units and a second sink have been installed to provide extra utility space. An electric Aga creates a lovely warm atmosphere in the kitchen, and is available to buy subject to negotiation. At the far end of the garden room is a versatile ground-floor room currently used as a home study. Thanks to its proportions and an attached en-suite shower, it can easily serve as a private guest bedroom.
At the back of the cottage is a dining room. This part of the home has ample space for a large table and chairs, while also leaving plenty of flexibility for a dedicated snug with a sofa and television to one side.
On the first floor, there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Throughout the property, the traditional character is maintained by wooden latch-and-lever doors on every doorway.
At the foot of the garden is a large garage equipped with a mechanics pit. The building offers plenty of room for a car alongside ample workshop space, and includes a mezzanine storage area to the rear.
Attached to the side of the garage is a greenhouse and potting shed. Connected to the rear of the garage is a further insulated store, which is currently utilized as an outdoor home office.
Halberton is a quiet village known for its strong community feel, welcoming neighbourhood spirit, and features an exceptionally good farm shop. Walking routes are readily available right from the doorstep, whether following the lanes towards Ash Thomas, or taking the short walk to the canal towpath which offers some very pretty walks.
Despite its quiet position, the property is exceptionally well-connected. The market town of Tiverton is just a couple of miles away, offering plenty of facilities for schooling, shopping, leisure activities, pubs, clubs, and restaurants. The neighbouring village of Sampford Peverell is also a short distance away, providing access to the M5 motorway network and Tiverton Parkway mainline railway station, which offers direct trains to London Paddington, Bristol, and the North.
