Shebbear, Beaworthy, Devon, EX21

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this handsome and beautifully presented home enjoys delightful, southerly facing cottage gardens that provide a wonderful sun trap and an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining al fresco

Parking in the driveway and taking the steps only gives a glimpse of what awaits. The white painted wooden gate set under a shrubbery arch really starts to tell the story as the fabulous split level front garden stretches out in front culminating at the cottage, which has colour washed elevations under a slate roof. We understand the cottage to be of cobb and stone and was formally the Village police house with part of the kitchen being formerly the cells!

A good size entrance hall gives plenty of room for outside clothing and footwear. The heart of the home is an impressive 25' kitchen/breakfast room, providing a spacious and sociable setting for family life having distinct area, a bistro bar for casual eating and plenty of cupboards and drawers with soft close hinges under a fine oak block tops. Leading off are a utility room and cloakroom.
The welcoming double aspect sitting room features a charming log burner, creating a cosy focal point during the cooler months.

Upstairs are two well proportioned double bedrooms one with a range of wardrobe cupboards along one wall and the other having ample room for free standing wardrobes. Both rooms have windows overlooking the front garden. The bathroom has been refitted to a modern standard with rain head shower over the bath.

Halfway up the stairs is a door leading out into the rear garden, which is zoned in areas for al fresco entertaining, taking time out and enjoying the surrounds or spending time in the garden sheds that are found here. The front garden is a true delight having been professionally landscaped in conjunction with the opening up of the drive for two vehicles, passed under planning from Torridge District Council . There is a substantial slate terrace for outside entertaining throughout the day and a larger loggia/garden room extends the living space and offers the perfect spot to enjoy the attractive gardens throughout the seasons. The gardens have been planted with a fine selection of shrubs and plants, and you can even pick your own apples from the apple tree as fresh as they come!

Agents note
Behind the hedge on one side is a public footpath that leads up to the village exiting close to the village shop.
