The main feature of the immaculately maintained gardens is the stream that meanders through the grounds, with several footbridges in place.
Michael Clark, consultant negotiator at Jackson-Stops, said: ‘Rose Cottage is one of the most iconic properties in Cockington Village.’
The cottage and gardens sit on the edge of a river and rolling green landscape. Pretty and well-kept flowers, plants and trees make up much of the attraction’s appeal, with many opting to visit for a peaceful break from everyday life
The master bedroom of the property includes space for a large bed and multiple storage facilities. A window on the right on the room allows for sufficient daylight to brighten up the wooden-based furnishings
The cosy sitting room provides a comforting ambiance, with lots of space and a log burner. The bright room also features more wooden decorations and storage facilities, with space for multiple sofas and tables
Mr Clark added: ‘Everyone who visits the village remembers the ‘chocolate box’ thatched cottage, with a bubbling brook running through its gorgeous gardens, and bisecting sweeping lawns and terraces.
A detailed floorplan shows the location of the tea garden, which sits outside of the cottage, along with the internal make-up of the property. The layouts of the kitchen, garden, sitting room, as well as bedrooms on the first and second floor can be seen
‘The home is also known for the traditional Devon cream tea served at its famous tea gardens, enhanced by a pianist who plays during opening hours.’
