Situated centrally and conveniently in the centre of the village close to the local amenities, is this delightful and deceptively spacious, charming characterful cottage which has a most attractive and private sunny low maintenance garden and the considerable benefit of a garage. The cottage has been extensively improved and modernised by the present owners, taking care to retain the period charm and feel, and is in A1 order, ready for immediate occupation. The property is ideal as a permanent home or alternatively would make a perfect holiday home/holiday let with excellent income earning potential.

The cottage sits in the very centre of the sought after village of Berrynarbor which sits just 1 mile from the coast and regularly wins awards for Best Kept Village and from Britain in Bloom. The village amenities include a Primary School which has the 'outstanding' Ofsted rating, 2 public houses serving food, a community shop, a church and a very active community with lots of local clubs and events. There is a bus service to larger towns of Ilfracombe and Barnstaple as well as the neighbouring village of Combe Martin.

The accommodation offer versatility and there is plenty of ground floor living space spread across three spacious reception rooms. The large entrance lobby is accessed through double arch shaped doors and has plenty of space for coats, shoes and boots. An attractive tiled floor leads through into the first of the receptions rooms, a particularly snug and cosy 15ft x 11ft room located at the front of the cottage. A wood burner sits in a stone built fireplace with a copper canopy and provides focal point to the room. Moving through the cottage, the tiled floor continues into the centrally positioned 16ft x 10ft dining room, which overlooks the rear garden, and has the stairs to the first floor with useful storage under. The kitchen follows on and is located at the rear and has a range of cottage style base and wall units with provisions for a gas cooker, a washing machine, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. A door from the kitchen leads directly out onto the rear garden. All of these aforementioned rooms within the property have the benefit for gas fired underfloor heating. The remaining rooms in the cottage have standard radiators.

The final and largest reception room offers a particularly bright and airy 19ft long room which is currently used as a sitting room. Large double doors lead out onto the rear garden. At the far end of the room there is access to a study/office which is perfect for those who work from home. There is also a separate shower room/wc which is a great additional facility. This room and its additional shower room makes an ideal guest suite or an area perfect for an elderly or disabled relative if needed.

Moving to first floor, the landing has the two bedrooms and the family bathroom leading off. A large cupboard provides storage and house the newly installed gas fired boiler for the central heating and hot water. There is also the hatch to the boarded loft space. Bedroom 1 is a particularly spacious 'L-shaped' room measuring an impressive 20ft x 15ft and has a dressing area within the room. Bedroom 2, is a characterful room with a delightful bay window to the rear which overlooks the garden and enjoys views towards the Sterridge Valley. The bathroom has been recently refurbished with a shower cubicle, wash hand basin set within a vanity unit and wc.

Outside, the property has the considerable benefit of a garage which sits attached at the end of the cottage. There is an up and over door at the front, light and power and a very useful loft storage area. A rear door from the garage enables direct access to and from the garden. A useful mezzanine level allowing space to become an office/hobby area can also be found.

The enclosed and south facing surprisingly private garden is beautifully presented and provides a delightful, low maintenance two tier paved garden which is beautifully dressed with an array of potted plants, and raised flowerbeds with further shrubs trees and bushes. There is a climbing wisteria too. Within the garden there is outdoor lighting and an outdoor tap. The garden is perfect for al-fresco dining, barbeques and simply sitting and enjoying some fresh air. There is a rear pedestrian access onto a pathway which is owned by the cottage and which leads back out onto Silver Street. The neighbouring property, Bessemer Thatch has a right of way over the path by as the path sits outside of the main enclosed gardens it does not impinge on the privacy in any way.

This beautifully presented and spacious charming cottage must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
