Known as 'the last village in North Devon,' the tightknit and self-sufficient Devonshire village has a thriving village atmosphere with a range of useful amenities including it's own Post Office/general store, a Primary Academy school, social club, popular village pub, butchers and much more. The larger town of Holsworthy is just over 8 miles away with a more comprehensive range of shopping and educational facilities including Waitrose Supermarket. The rugged and unspoilt North Devon Coastline is within 10 miles of the property with the South West Coast path offering the perfect walk for those looking to explore some of Devon's finest rural and coastal scenery.
Description - A well proportioned, semi-detached cottage understood to date back originally to 1871 constructed of stone, cob and concrete blockwork, offering 3 bedrooms through a versatile layout. The property merges modern conveniences with original character features and has enclosed front and rear gardens. In addition, there is a large courtyard with hardstanding and a double garage opposite, for those that require ample off road parking and storage.
Accommodation - A gently sloping pathway and steps lead to the front entrance porch to the cottage, passing through the front gardens full of well stocked flower beds and a range of mature shrubs. The entrance hall offers the ideal space for coats and boots, with steps to the first floor. Upon entering the sitting room, the prominent fireplace housing a multi-fuel burner is just an example of some of the original character features the cottage offers, with exposed wooden beams and two windows overlooking the front garden. The kitchen/breakfast room is a generous size, with an extensive range of fitted units offering ample storage, and appliances include a dishwasher and free standing oven with hob. Windows from the kitchen overlook the side entrance to the garden and adjoins the conservatory to the rear, a generous room with ample space for seating and furniture, overlooking and with doors to the rear garden. There is a ground floor double bedroom, a separate cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin, as well as the family bathroom with a fully fitted suite including a separate shower cubicle and freestanding bath.
Stairs from the entrance hallway lead to the first floor, which offers 2 bedrooms. The principle bedroom enjoys a dual aspect to the front and back of the property, with fitted storage and features such as exposed stonework. The 2nd bedroom offers the flexibility to be used as a bedroom or home office for those needing to work from home.
Outside - The gardens to the front of the property are enclosed with a gated entrance, stone walled and feature iron railings. The flowerbeds are well stocked with a range of shrubs and roses and a pathway that connects the gardens via a side walkway. Well fenced to both sides, the rear garden is well presented and perfect for those looking to enjoy the outdoor space with low maintenance areas, or offers the size and potential to create further green areas. With tiers of hardstanding, paved areas and gravel, the garden to the rear enjoys the sun throughout most of the day and at the far end, has a range of useful garden sheds with power connected and a greenhouse.
On the opposite side of the lane to the cottage is a most useful area of hardstanding, with a gated entrance and ample turning space. There is a detached double garage with an up and over door, and power/light connected previously having been used as a workshop.
