Don’t Let The Traditional Front Fool You. Behind the bay-fronted bedroom there’s a stylish shower room and a spacious and modern open plan kitchen / living room, with bi-folds out to a gorgeous courtyard garden. And it’s just a short stroll to the pub and only 11mins to Plymouth on the train.

From the street, The Old Forge has all the charm of a traditional bay-fronted cottage, tucked away on a peaceful lane in Bere Ferrers. But its modest frontage gives very little away about the bright, spacious and beautifully modern home waiting inside.

Follow the exposed stone wall down the hallway and the cottage opens right up before your eyes. The extended kitchen-living space at the back is bright, open plan and properly modern, with an induction hob, oven, dishwasher and fridge-freezer, plus a breakfast bar for the days you don’t want to lay the table.

Bi-fold doors run the width of the room and lead straight out to a private courtyard garden, looking out over the valley. There's a greenhouse if you fancy growing your own, and paved space for a table, chairs and long summer evenings without a single blade of grass to mow.

The main bedroom is at the front, with the bay window. A stylish shower room and a separate WC have both been newly installed. There's a smaller second bedroom (still a double) for guests, a home office or perhaps to become your bedroom - if you wanted to use the one at the front as another, quieter living room.

Bere Ferrers itself is the kind of idyllic village people move to and don't leave.

The 16th century Olde Plough Inn is only a three minute walk away for a quiet pint or some delicious home coooked food. Or you could walk the lanes to Harlings for coffee, try your hand at gig rowing from Weir Quay, or take the Tamar Trail if you're after something longer.

There's parking for one car right outside at the front, with unrestricted parking on the street if you need more.

It’s only a 10 minute walk to the station and the train from the village getts you into Plymouth in around 11 minutes, so weekday commuting is a real option. As is leaving the car at home if you’re hitting the shops or catching up with friends at the weekend.

If you want to combine a quiet village life with an easy commute, this bigger-than-you’d-think two bedroom cottage is well worth a look.

We're expecting plenty of interest, so get in touch to arrange a viewing.
