Sellers insight

We have lived at Tuckaway Cottage for nearly 10 years and during this time have expended huge amounts of energy and capital renovating the cottage and building on the lovely garden to create a relaxing and sustainable living space. The arrival of grandchildren and a career shift have necessitated putting Tuckaway Cottage on the market. If we could move it with us we would! We really hope that a purchaser will really enjoy the house.

When you arrive in the drive at Tuckaway you instantly view the Blackdown Hills, walk on further and you are captivated by the garden rich with Acers, Palms, fruit trees, Magnolias, Rhododendrons, Yuccas and Camellias. Walk on further into the vegetable area with is fruit cage with 30 Raspberry plants providing fruit June-October, 8 raised beds, including a mature Asparagus bed, further fruit trees and a large green house.

The garden has been designed to provide multiple seating areas which provide opportunities to relax across the day and seasons from spring to autumn. Tuckaway Cottage is the tonic for life’s day to day hassles and stresses.
