Torrington, Devon

Formally a barn to Garden Cottage next door is this lovely two bedroom single storey home which has been much improved by the current owner. Lavender Cottage provides the perfect blend of character associated with such a property with all the amenities of modern day living. Serviced by oil fired central heating and benefitting from the double glazing it provides a real cosy feel. In the writers opinion, it’s the ideal home for a couple that don’t need the hassle of maintaining large gardens but would instead prefer just need enough outside space to sit out and enjoy the best of the Devon weather. For those that enjoy tinkering with a bit of woodwork or home engineering there are two good sized sheds that can easily double up as a workshop. The property also offers off road parking which is accessed via a five bar gate across a shared driveway.

Location is always key when considering a move. The beautifully named Frithelstockstone whilst being a small community is handily placed and is often described as the gateway to everywhere. From here you can enjoy good road links to the market towns of Great Torrington and Bideford both within a 20 minute drive, also Exeter within an hour’s drive from the village. In the other direction is the market town of Holsworthy, close to the Cornish borders. Within a five minute drive you can find yourself enjoying the locally renowned Tarka Trail a footpath/cycle way mainly built on the bed of a disused railway where all the gradients are gentle. There are lots to do both regionally and locally. Within just a twenty minute drive you have the Plough arts centre / theatre, Dartington Crystal and The Royal Horticultural society gardens "Rosemoor" to enjoy.

Ticking boxes aside, it is in my experience that the feel of the home is what will make you buy it. Only by visiting Lavender Cottage you will know if it is "the one". I strongly urge you to take the time to experience it for yourself and would love the opportunity to meet with you there to help embed what you see on paper in the flesh.
