Rosevine

Rosevine is a white-rendered cottage behind an ornate wrought-iron gate worked with the property's name, set beyond a lush garden of hedging and shrubs near Kingsbridge.

A blue Aga in a country kitchen

The kitchen keeps a traditional blue Aga range cooker in one corner, an island with bar stools facing the built-in ovens, a painted dresser and Belfast sink completing the room, a jug of daffodils set on the separate wooden dining table with a second dining room beyond.

Two sitting rooms and a wood burning stove

The main living room centres on a wood burning stove, a grey sofa with orange cushions and French doors opening straight outside; a second sitting room takes rattan armchairs and its own garden door, and a further sitting room pairs a pale sofa with two armchairs around a coffee table.

Four bedrooms, several with their own fireplace

Four bedrooms include a bright double with a wicker chair and striped rug by the window, another with a sheepskin throw and French doors onto the garden, and two more each keeping a small fireplace of their own, one beside matching bedside chests, the other finished with a floral rug. The bathroom has a glass shower enclosure beside a white vanity unit.

A stained glass staircase and a walled garden

A patterned tiled hallway leads to a wooden staircase lit by a stained glass window, the landing finished with a runner rug; outside, a wide lawned garden runs out under mature trees, a conservatory opening through French doors onto its own patio.
