3 rooms house of 55 m² in Torridge District

The property is a thatched, Grade II listed cottage. The front elevation hides the size of the property and once inside, you realise this isn’t your average terraced cottage. With large living spaces on the ground floor and 3 good sized bedrooms on the first floor. The current owners have improved the original house with up to date kitchen and bathroom fixtures, décor and it’s presented in very good condition throughout. The layout provides a very generous living room with wood burner to the front and then through to the kitchen/dining room behind. The kitchen has been replaced and is a light modern twist whilst remaining in keeping with the character of the cottage. There’s an oil fired Rayburn in the kitchen too, fantastic for the feel of this room. The family bathroom completes the ground floor internals and a central staircase runs to the first floor landing. There are 3 bedrooms with plenty of character, all of them a good size but all offering something different. Outside, there is parking available on the street to the front (not allocated) with no time restrictions and parking is freely available around the village. To the rear is a pretty rear garden with a lower seating area and shed storage plus a raised lawn providing a wonderful space. Accessed from the rear garden are a store, a home office (with power/light/internet), ideal for working from home or hobbies, plus a useful utility room keeping the washing machine etc out of the kitchen. There is an alleyway to the side which is owned by No. 5 but the neighbour does have a right to access upon request. This provides an additional route to the rear garden, without going through the house which is a real bonus for a cottage of this type.
