OUTSIDE
The gardens are a delight and truly complement the cottage, being private, well established, largely laid to lawn with mature shrubs and beds, and a terrace for al fresco dining. There is a good size vegetable garden, which is need of some TLC, but the gardens have been well cared for and extend to 0.25 acres. It is rare to find such a lovely array of outbuildings in a cottage such as The Venture, but as the house was occupied by an artist for many years, there are several, and include a large office, with wall-to-wall book shelving and bespoke curved desk; which would also make a lovely guest bedroom if needed, a workshop/store, a study/print room and a summer house/studio. There is also a mower shed in the garden. A driveway provides parking for two vehicles, a rare feature in Slapton.
