DESCRIPTION
A pretty character cottage occupying a fantastic rural position set in the hamlet of Tosberry, just 2 ½ miles from the village of Hartland. The property would be well suited for equestrian users or hobby farmers seeking landed property with spacious accommodation with potential to personalise.

The accommodation briefly comprises an entrance hall, spacious living room, former pool room, kitchen/dining room, three bedrooms and a wet room. On the first floor there is a master ensuite bedroom and access to the extensive eaves storage.

Externally the property offers ample offroad parking on a private gravel drive and a spacious garden with pretty decking area in one corner. A path leads through the lawn and to the land where you will find stables, pasture land, and the former quarry.

LOCATION
Located on the Hartland Peninsula, which is the most northern tip of Devon. This unique coastal headland has much to offer with its spectacular scenery, quaint fishing villages such as Clovelly and the historic Hartland Abbey with its impressive house and gardens. The whole area is protected as an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The cottage sits within the quiet rural hamlet of Tosberry, amidst beautiful unspoilt north Devon countryside, with the North Devon coastline within close proximity of the barn. The quiet country roads surrounding, and inter-connecting the parish, offer ideal opportunities for walkers, the tourist trade and horse riding, however, have allowed the area to retain its quaint character and not become commercialised.

The A39, also known as the Atlantic Highway provides an excellent link to the port town of Bideford (14 miles) and the regional centre of Barnstaple (23 miles) with both towns offering a wide range of shopping and recreational facilities together with a mainline railway station and link to the M5 motorway.

The village of Hartland is about 2.5 miles away and has a small range of shops, doctors surgery and primary school. The award winning coastal town of Bude lies some 13 miles to the south and offers much to see and do with its two sandy surfing beaches and dramatic coastline.

Exeter, a cathedral city, is some 60 miles away and again offers a wide and diverse range of shopping and recreational opportunities together with a mainline railway station, bus terminal and regional airport.
