Lifestyle change is what Higher Cottage is all about! A change of pace, fresh air and countryside walks is what’s on offer from this super location. The cottage sits in an elevated position on the edge of the village allowing the best of the countryside views down the valley where on a clear day you can catch a glimpse of Exmoor National Park in the distance.
The cottage itself has been lovingly maintained by the present owners and has benefitted from several improvements over the years to the lovely home you see today. Both the kitchen and shower room have been re-fitted, the former of which flows nicely into a well-appointed living room with feature log burning stove. You are future proof here as well for later years as the cottage boasts a ground floor bedroom in addition to those upstairs. Upstairs there is an open plan feel as the stairs lead straight into the master bedroom which in turn leads straight in to the remaining bedroom. The two rooms could easily be further defined with the addition of some stud partitioning (subject to the relevant consents) but has suited the current owners in its current guise during their occupation. Exuding character with a modern contemporary twist, what's not to like?
Outside the cottage benefits from an enclosed garden to the rear, off road parking to the front and the added benefit of a lawned 1/4 acre, enclosed paddock which could suit a number of uses.
Agents note: There is a pedestrian right of way across the front of the cottage for the neighbour to access their home as well as the vehicular access to their parking.
Directions
From Torrington proceed in a southerly direction on the A386 signposted Hatherleigh / Okehampton and after approximately 3 miles upon reaching the site of the former Gribble Inn (now New Homes) on the right hand side, take the right hand turning signposted Peters Marland / Petrockstowe / Shebbear. Continue along this road passing the Tarka Trail Car Park and Yarde Cafe on your left, then after passing the farm on your right, continue straight on towards the village of Petrockstowe. Pass the crossroads and head into the village. Take the turning on your right opposite the community centre "Baxter Hall" into Cott Lane. Follow the lane to where it bends left where you enter the driveway.
