This well presented, characterful 3 bedroom semi-detached cottage dating back to the 1620s is situated in a semi-rural location on the outskirts of Ilfracombe town with the Cairn Nature and coastal footpath to Lincombe and Lee only a moments’ walk away. The property occupies a good sized plot benefiting from well stocked landscaped gardens, ancillary accommodation to the cottage with timber built log cabins and a decked terrace with built-in swimming pool. The cottage benefits from uPVC double glazing throughout and gas radiator central heating. The property has been well-loved by the current owners and is offered on to the open market in good order, as well as having a wealth of character and charm which has been stylishly blended with modern touches. The property is cleverly arranged with a separate entrance to the garden/pool and cabins.

The property currently makes for a comfortable home for the growing family but would also suit those seeking a sizeable property to relocate or a sound buy to let investment. This truly exceptional home warrants an early internal inspection to avoid disappointment.

The property also has the benefit of being sold fully furnished upon negotiation.

The cottage is immaculately presented throughout and the living accommodation is well balanced and arranged over two floors. The ground floor living accommodation comprises of a kitchen, bathroom and a large and light filled living room which benefits from a wood burner. Moving up through the property on to the first floor, there are three bedrooms, two of which are good size double rooms, whilst bedroom three is a single room that could be utilized as an office/study.

Outside to the front of the property there is a fully enclosed, sunny aspect patio area with ample space for a table and chairs. To the rear of the property, there is a landscaped garden made up of several tiers. The garden has an abundance of mature shrubs, tropical plants and trees and large garden ponds. The white stone chippings and greenery give the garden a delightful Mediterranean feeling throughout. There is a top decked terrace enjoying a 4' swimming pool. The very top tier of the garden provides a delightfully sunny aspect and views overlooking the Cairn and towards open countryside. The pool is heated through solar power and the water to the property is not metered making it an ideal addition to the garden. Just below the top decked area, there is a large self-contained cabin which has been designed internally to a high specification throughout. The living accommodation comprises of a large open plan living area/kitchen and a bedroom/shower room. The cabin could potentially provide a good second income, but could also be utilized as a home work office or make for great living space for a dependent relative. The second of the two cabins is even larger than the first and is arranged over two floors. This could be an excellent opportunity to create yet more self contained ancillary accommodation as its currently being utilised as a painting/games room.
