This enchanting detached cottage, with origins dating back to the 1800s, is set in a picturesque roadside location, offering sweeping views over Worthygate Woods, the rugged North Devon coastline and Lundy Island on the horizon.

The current owner has enhanced the property by adding a Kitchen / Breakfast Room extension, renewing the roof and replacing several windows. The cottage retains its historic charm with double-fronted, colour washed stone elevations beneath a recently updated slate tiled roof, while modern upgrades like solar panels provide energy efficiency. All of the windows have been replaced, all of the front windows and the Kitchen windows are triple glazed and all of the rear windows are double glazed. Despite its modest exterior, the home offers surprisingly spacious interiors.

Inside, the property features several inviting Reception Rooms, including a newly added Kitchen / Breakfast Room that opens onto the garden, a cosy Sitting Room, a formal Dining Room and a functional Utility Room. Upstairs, there are 2 generously sized Bedroom and a smaller Bedroom / Office. The Master Bedroom boasts an En-Suite Shower Room, and a Family Bathroom serves the remaining Bedrooms.

Surrounding the cottage are beautifully landscaped gardens that span approximately one third of an acre. The grounds are filled with mature trees, ornamental shrubs and vibrant flower beds, offering a serene retreat. Several seating areas, including a covered space at the rear, provide perfect spots to relax, whether it’s for morning coffee or watching the stunning sunsets. The garden also includes a picturesque pond and a large timber Summerhouse with a tiled roof.

The property offers parking for 3-4 vehicles and includes a Detached Workshop, partially converted into a Studio. This versatile space can serve as a home office, artist’s studio or additional garaging. Alternatively, the Studio could be transformed into a spacious annex or holiday accommodation, subject to planning permission.

This delightful cottage combines the charm of its historical roots with modern conveniences, all set in a tranquil and scenic North Devon location.
