A beautiful thatched cottage, offering exceptional accommodation, high ceilings, lovely wraparound cottage garden. This stunning property, whilst set right in the heart of the village, is hidden away and offers exceptional tranquillity.

Iddesleigh is a renowned and sought-after village community, with church, village hall and well-regarded pub. Properties in this picturesque village, with Dartmoor views, rarely enter the market.

The cottage is approached through a five-bar gate opening onto a gravel path, leading to the front door, which is contemporary in design and into the fine reception hall. From here you get a real sense of the style of accommodation that is on offer. Immediately on the left, is a good-sized sitting room, double aspect with lovely wooden flooring, inglenook fireplace, bread oven and log burner. To the right, off the hall is found the family/ dining room. Again, being a really well sized room with stable door, which leads into the beautiful garden, with rear views of the fields beyond.

Having built-in dishwasher, space for a range cooker and a bespoke range of units; including large kitchen island, with slate work surfaces, being painted in 'Chalk Lavender', giving the most calming effect. There is a space for a large fridge freezer, ample room for a dining table and a wide wooden door leading out into the pretty front garden. Finishing off the accommodation on the ground floor is a good sized, custom-made utility room, with space and plumbing for washing and drying machines, slate worktop and w.c. In here is found the pressurised hot water cylinder, feeding the central heating system, from the eco-friendly air sourced heat pump.

A straight run of stairs, leads off the hall to a landing, which runs across the front of the cottage and serves the bedrooms. All of the bedrooms are doubles, with two having ensuite shower rooms, and large mezzanine levels, approached by fixed ladders. The main bedroom is the most amazing room, especially being some twenty- two feet in length.
