"A quintessential and superbly presented, thatched, period cottage, with lots of character, located in the beautiful Taw Valley. Set within pretty cottage style gardens and adjoining wooded area, extending to over half an acre. Large double garage, plus carport and plenty of parking. EPC exempt.
Situation
Beehive Cottage is conveniently located in the heart of the beautiful Taw Valley in the small hamlet of Kingford. The cottage is situated about 2 miles from the villages of Burrington and High Bickington both enjoying local amenities including churches, public houses, post offices/village shops and primary schools. Also of note and at a similar distance, is Highbullen Hotel at Chittlehamholt with its superb leisure facilities, restaurant and golf course. The cottage is only a short walk from the well-known Northcote Manor Hotel and the Portsmouth Arms pub where a useful railway station on the picturesque 'Tarka Line' is located. The Tarka Line also runs through Umberleigh where the pub/hotel offers salmon fishing on the River Taw. The nearest town of Chulmleigh, about 6 miles distant, has been voted one of the best places in the UK to bring up children, and the property falls within the catchment area for the very well regarded Chulmleigh Community College. Furthermore the cottage has good access to both South Molton (and onward to the M5/Tiverton Parkway Railway Station), Barnstaple and the Cathedral city of Exeter. South Molton boasts a historic pannier market and provides good local amenities. Barnstaple offers all the major facilities expected of a regional centre. With Exmoor National Park just a short drive away the area offers a wealth of outdoor pursuits including horse riding, walking, cycling and shooting and easy access to the spectacular North Devon coast.
The Property
Beehive Cottage is a beautiful, detached Grade II listed, character property of traditional construction with many period features including an inglenook fireplace and exposed timbers. Believed to date from the late 17th century, this thatched cottage boasts 'chocolate box' charm!

The thatch was completely re-placed in 2012, by a local master Thatcher.
