Owner Insight
"Honeysuckle Cottage has been a tranquil, calm, cosy home for us in the time we have been lucky enough to live there. Walks to Maidencombe Cove, Stokeinteignhead Village, or just the peace of being in the Cottage with its oak beamed glory (and wood burner in Winter), and patio/Garden in the Summer. Shops in Barton are just a 10 minute drive away and all other Major Supermarkets etc within 15 minutes make it central to amenities. It has proven to be an easy to heat & maintain cottage, along with it's lovely little garden and olde World Glasshouse with views of the Valley & hills. Unfortunately, carer duties & being close to family have necessitated our move, but hopefully Honeysuckle Cottage will give it's new owners the tranquility of everything it is, and its wonderful neighbours, to them."
