"As you approach this idyllic property via the large gated entrance, beyond the stone fronted drive are two very well presented cottages, that sit within a plot of circa 0.89 acres offering generous gardens, vegetable gardens and a peaceful setting with uninterrupted countryside views.

Foxhill Cottage itself is the main residency, boasting an aesthetically pleasing thatched roof, private gardens and delightful garden room. The cottage is entered via a porch that provides inviting access through to the bespoke country kitchen; fitted with integral units, Belfast sink and a free standing electric cooker. The current vendors have incorporated an oak dining table into the window sill design. The dual aspect nature provides a wealth of natural light, leaving the kitchen bright, airy and truly appealing.

The living room is of an admirable size, retaining the exposed timber beams from the original build, as well as the desirable fireplace that houses a wood burner and historical clome oven. Our current owners have made the great addition of constructing the garden room, an extra reception space which is truly breathtaking. The oak detailing is something to admire, alongside the triple aspect window units, stone flooring, and double door access to the luscious gardens.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a master shower room. The main bedroom that measures circa 16ft offers plenty of floorspace as well as integral storage and a shower room. The further double bedroom offers sympathetic wooden flooring, exposed ceiling beams, whilst the family bathroom has a roll top bath with elevated views over the beautiful gardens.

The outside space at Foxhill Cottage is a delight from all aspects. It completes the whole stereotype of a chocolate box cottage with beautiful gardens and parking for multiple vehicles . The majority of the garden space is positioned to the rear of the main cottage, with a pond, plus a patio area that is perfect for relaxing and entertaining. The large lawn area is linked by interconnecting pathways, surrounded by a selection of established trees and beautiful flower beds.

Additionally, there is a further lawn area, providing impressive views of the surrounding countryside, with mature hedge line bordering and the opportunity to spectate the cottage from the rear aspect; taking in the craftsmanship of the spectacular oak garden room.

The property itself is situated 1.5 miles from the idyllic Devonshire village of Petrockstowe. There is a thriving community with an active village hall, church and nearby Tarka trail.

The nearby market town of Hatherleigh is approximately 4 miles from the village and benefits from a weekly market and a range of local stores. Schools can be found at Hatherleigh and Merton for primary education.

There is secondary education at Okehampton and Torrington. The private school of Shebbear is also only 4 miles from the village.
