A picture postcard thatched cottage with wonderful garden in delightful Week.

Situation & Description

2 Lownard Cottages is one of a pair of cottages which were formerly a cattle shed and were converted in houses by Dartington Hall Trust between the wars. Embodying the Arts and Crafts movement and the ethos of the Elmhirsts, the style is very reminiscent of the stereotypical English country cottage with its leaded light windows and thatched roof.

The property is located in a delightful spot in the peaceful hamlet of Week, an area which has changed little in centuries. Fronted by a country footpath which was once one of the oldest drover’s ways in England, 2 Lownard Cottages has a delightful level garden sporting many colourful flowers with a backdrop of light woodland and is bounded by the Bidwell Brook.  This well proportioned garden is a sun trap and features a double glazed summer house with electricity.  Also outside is an old, stone piggery currently used for storage, two garages and parking for 3 cars. There is also a sloping back garden which enjoys an abundance of seasonal wild flowers.

Particular features of this house are the modern, oak strip flooring covering most of the ground floor.  The kitchen has underfloor heating and contains a modern Aga.  The cosy living room has an ornate fireplace with wood/coal burner and there is a separate dining room and small utility room.  Upstairs are 3 bedrooms, all quite large with the main bedroom having a wash hand basin.  There is a family shower room and WC.
