Property description
ABOUT THE PROPERTY
A character and tastefully restored three bedroomed village home with large enclosed garden, useful outbuilding and far reaching views to Dartmoor National Park.
Situated in a sought-after semi-rural village close to Barnstaple and Torrington, and within easy reach of Exeter, this attached character home combines period charm with versatile living and superb outdoor space.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a welcoming entrance hall, a spacious 22'9" sitting room with woodburning stove and French doors opening onto the rear garden, a country-style kitchen/dining room with bespoke units, butler sink, and oil fired Rayburn. An inner hallway leads to a light-filled timber-framed garden room, together with an adjoining utility and cloakroom. On the first floor are three bedrooms, the main with en-suite WC, as well as a family bathroom.
The rear garden is a true highlight, with well-stocked borders, a vegetable garden, enjoying far-reaching views over open fields towards Dartmoor. Within the garden stands a substantial stone-built workshop/shed with mezzanine storage. It is thought that there may also be scope to create off-road parking to the side of the cottage, subject to any required consents.
