This Grade II listed cottage in the heart of Sheepwash has been a cherished bolt hole for the current owners for several years, and they have decided now is the time to pass the baton to a new owner who can love and enjoy it as much as they have. On the ground floor are two spacious reception rooms, one with an impressive inglenook, and a modern fitted kitchen. On the first floor are two double bedrooms, one with en suite shower room, and the bathroom, and on the second floor are the two remaining interconnected double bedrooms. To the rear is a separate block built utility room with WC. The front elevation is particularly impressive with its array of windows and eyebrow dormers in the thatched roof, and the second floor has exposed A frame beams. These along with the inglenook and original clay tiles in the main reception room are superb examples of character features in this 18th Century property.

To the rear is a passageway leading to the separate utility and WC, and then on to the spacious courtyard garden with patio and small lawn. The garden is a real sun trap and has sun most of the day. There is also a timber framed barn with power connected for a workshop, storage or a variety of other uses. Rather unique for historic properties in Sheepwash, the cottage benefits from private parking for 2 cars.

The property is just steps from the village square and its highly regarded public house with integrated village shop. Primary schooling is available nearby in the villages of Highampton and Black Torrington, where there is also a doctors surgery. The small town of Hatherleigh has a popular Ofsted rated Good community primary school, and Hatherleigh also boasts a Co op supermarket, doctors surgery and vets, amongst other amenities. The ISI rated Excellent Shebbear College is Under 5 miles away, and additional primary and secondary schooling are available in Holsworthy and Okehampton, which also have a wider range of local amenities including a variety of supermarkets, banks, leisure centres and retail outlets. The north coast at Bude and its sandy beaches are around 30 minutes away, and the wilds of Dartmoor can be reached in as little as 20 minutes.

Agents Note There is a small area of flying freehold associated with this property and the adjoining one.
