Details MAIN PARAGRAPH
Occupying a lovely rural setting with glorious views stretching over rolling farmland is this spacious country home comprising a PVCu double glazed, centrally heated, 3 bedroom plus large loft space, semi-detached period cottage perfectly complimented by its good size attractive garden along with ample parking, an old garage, and 2 stone/brick sheds. Only a short drive from the self-contained village of Bradworthy, and market town of Holsworthy.

THE RESIDENCE
Whilst the precise age of the cottage is unknown, it is thought to date back about 100 years, and could well stand on the site of an older property. There is no doubt it is a great opportunity for those discerning purchasers seeking a peacefully located rural retreat which has not been available on the open market for over 20 years. It sits beside a very quiet parish road and on the day these photographs/sales particulars were prepared, not 1 car passed. The property enjoys a very pleasant southerly aspect, and from upstairs there are far reaching views from every window. The accommodation briefly comprises:- Pitched Entrance Porch, Entrance Hall, 17ft Lounge with a woodburning stove, Rear Hall, Kitchen, Ground Floor Cloak/Shower Room, Rear Porch, and Walk-In Utility Larder. The spacious First Floor Landing serves 3 Bedrooms, and the Bathroom. Central heating is supplied by a solid fuel Rayburn in the Kitchen, there are replacement PVCu double glazed sash windows, and a particularly good sized loft space with a maximum height of 7' 5 with scope for conversion subject to necessary consents. A notable feature of all the rooms are the good ceiling heights which average about 8ft throughout.

LOCATION
The cottage is about 1 mile from the village of Sutcombe with its Primary School and Church. The well-appointed and very friendly village of Bradworthy is some 4 miles and caters particularly well for the locality with a good range of shops and amenities including a Doctor's Surgery, Primary School Academy, and popular Inn. The bustling market town of Holsworthy is some 5 miles and offers secondary education, a good range of local and national shops including a Waitrose supermarket, excellent leisure amenities, and professional services. Bude on the spectacular North Cornish coast is about 15 miles, whilst Okehampton and the A30 is some 25 miles. The M5 near the Cathedral City of Exeter is about an hour's drive. The nearby Upper & Lower Tamar Lakes offer excellent watersports facilities and quality coarse fishing, and are just a pleasant place for a walk.

DIRECTIONS TO FIND
From Holsworthy proceed on the A388 Bideford road for 3 miles, and upon reaching Holsworthy Beacon turn left signed Sutcombe. Follow this road for about 2 miles and on the edge of Sutcombe, having just passed over the stone bridge, turn right signed Upcott/Brendon. Follow this country lane for about 0.5 miles up the hill and look out for the unsigned turning on the right hand side which says 'unsuitable for large vehicles', and the cottage will be then be found after about 0.25 miles on the left hand side with a Bond Oxborough Phillips 'For Sale' notice clearly displayed.
