Situation - The property is situated in a rural position with no immediate residential neighbours and on the outskirts of Bradworthy. Known as 'the last village in North Devon' the tightknit Devonshire village has it's own Post Office/general store for day to day essentials, a social club, village pub and lies only 9 miles from beautiful stretches of the North Devon Coastline. The larger town of Holsworthy is just under 8 miles away with a more comprehensive range of facilities including Waitrose Supermarket.

Description - A successfully extended detached cottage merging original character features and rustic charm with modern day conveniences and open plan living. The property offers 3 double bedrooms and sits in a private position with a larger than average rear garden facing south-west. Constructed of stone and cob along with a block extension, the property is presented in excellent decorative order and would be well suited for those looking for a rural escape.

Accommodation - The accommodation throughout the cottage is presented immaculately and was extended in 2015 by the current owners, to create an open plan kitchen/diner along with extra space in the sitting room. The approach from the rear of the property where the parking is, follows a gravelled path alongside the garden to an oak stable door. The kitchen/diner has a Belling Range Cooker, an integrated dishwasher, a Belfast sink and an island with a solid oak worktop. Various LED downlights combine well with the tiled floor and natural light that floods in from the rear. The Rayburn sits in an inglenook fireplace with a rustic wooden lintel and provides heat and hot water. The sitting room offers a more traditional feel with an inglenook fireplace with exposed beam, slate hearth and housing an oil fired stove, with windows to the extended end overlooking the garden.

The ground floor ensuite bedroom has French doors to the rear patio to encompass the private and rural setting, with the ensuite shower room being an added bonus, both with electric underfloor heating. The ground floor family bathroom also has under floor heating, comprises a modern suite with a walk in shower cubicle, a contemporary bath, WC and sink whilst the utility space offers extra space for white goods. 2 further double bedrooms on the first floor showcase rustic features such as exposed wooden hip beams, with bedroom 1 having the added benefit of built in wardrobes.

Outside - The larger than average gardens are a real bonus of the property and offer a south and south-westerly facing aspect for one to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. Mainly laid to lawn, steps from the gravelled path cut through the bank to a large level area with a variety of mature trees. The garden is fenced to 2 sides with a natural stream boundary to the very far end. The rear patio is paved and offers a quiet spot for relaxation, with various stone walled flower beds currently laid to gravel chippings for ease and maintenance. The property was re-thatched and ridged at the rear in 2017. In February '24, the front of the thatch was cleaned, patched and redressed.

From the front entrance porch, a gate leads out of the property to the off lying garden less than 20 meters away. The land is not suitable for development, instead, it offers the opportunity to create an allotment or kitchen garden with plenty of space for small livestock such as chickens, or beehives.
