Situation - The hamlet of Derril lies within the rural parish of Pyworthy, a peaceful and attractive part of North Devon close to the Devon/Cornwall border. The area is well regarded for its unspoilt countryside, quiet lanes and excellent opportunities for walking, riding and outdoor pursuits. The market town of Holsworthy offers a wide range of shops, primary and secondary schooling, leisure centre and doctors and minor injury hospital and lies within 3 miles of the cottage. The North Cornish coast, with its popular surfing beaches at Bude and Widemouth Bay, is within easy reach, making the location particularly appealing for those seeking a tranquil country lifestyle whilst remaining accessible to coastal and town facilities.
Description - An impressive 3/4 bedroom detached cottage with gardens measuring 0.22 acres. The original cottage is believed to be about 200 years old, built of cob with rag slates on the roof. The modern extensions were added between 2009 and 2012 to form the property you see today.

A welcoming front uPVC conservatory enjoys pleasant views over the garden. The accommodation is versatile, with a comfortable living room featuring a wood burning stove and a separate dining room ideal for entertaining. The cottage-style kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of matching units and incorporates a Rangemaster cooker, creating a sociable and practical family space. A useful ground floor study offers flexibility and could equally serve as a fourth bedroom, hobby or craft room. To the rear, on the ground floor, there is a useful utility room housing the wall mounted 'Ariston' boiler which, in turn, leads to a shower room w/c.
