The home is available to the open market for the first time since the late 1980s and offers accommodation over two storeys which briefly comprises of two double bedrooms and a large single bedroom which has been used as a double in the past and a large open plan landing on the first floor, whilst to the ground floor there is a spacious living room with high ceilings, exposed timbers and a large brick fireplace with wood burning stove, a dining room which leads to a small study or hobbies room and the kitchen/breakfast room. From here there is access to the utility/boot room and bathroom, where from the utility, there is direct access to outside. The home retains many of the original features and offers LPG gas fired central heating and has huge potential to extend further if required, subject to the usual planning consents. Outside there is a generous enclosed front lawned garden, a driveway to the side, a further concrete hard-standing, a brick built former piggery, now used as a tool shed, and an enclosed rear garden. Furthermore, elevated behind the cottages, yet easily reached is a large garden plot of approximately 300 feet by 25 feet which adjoins open countryside and is extremely peaceful and private and would be ideal for keen gardeners for the use of cultivating fruit and vegetables. The home is one of six cottages in this pleasant back-water, yet is easily accessed and in turn offers easy access to the towns of Torrington and Hatherleigh, the Tarka Trail and the RHS Gardens at Rosemoor.

Outside The home is approach via a shared private driveway with concrete hard-standing to the side of the property as its own driveway parking, and where to the front there is a small paved area for pot plants and similar. Front Garden Crossing the driveway there is a pleasant pergolad entrance into the front lawned garden which is bounded by mature hedging and the brook running at the front of the cottages with various shaped growing beds and mature trees and is also home to the LPG gas tank for the central heating. Side Garden To the side of the property, as mentioned earlier, there is driveway parking enclosed by post and rail fencing with stable door access to the utility/boot room. Just to the side of the post and rail fencing is a well maintained shared path for the cottages to access their former piggeries (now used as block sheds) and the rear garden. Rear Garden Enclosed to the boundaries by low level fencing and mature bank and woodland with a pleasant area of shaped lawn gently sloping with paths leading to the rear. The paths are well draining and there is a low level timber pedestrian gate for access across the back of the cottages. Piggery Situated in a block of six Marland brick with carved Marland brick floor, ideal for storing garden tools and bikes with a small walled yard in front for additional storage if required. Beyond here leads to a concrete hard-standing which belongs to number 6 and offers additional off-road parking for numerous vehicles and could be very well suited for caravan or camper van or a boat to be parked near-by. Garden Plot From here a sloping path leads up to the remainder of the gardens and are found as the second plot along which opens from a mature conifer row, and is predominantly lawned with mature fruit trees, a gently sloping and level lawn of some 300 feet in length overlooking open fields with various growing beds which have been used in the past for fruit and vegetable cultivation. A wire fence with mature blackberry hedge bounds one side of the garden which leads into a point at the top. The top is wild and home to flowers and low level well maintained shrubs including buddleia and is in our opinion a beautiful peaceful spot and a huge attraction to the home.
