A beautifully presented period cottage in a tucked away and private position within the delightful hamlet of Kingscott.
Location - Situated in the tranquil hamlet of Kingscott, in a tucked away and private position is this beautiful Grade II listed character residence. The hamlet of Kingscott is conveniently located, just 2.5 miles from the historic market town of Great Torrington, yet enjoys a wonderful rural setting.
Great Torrington is surrounded by 360 acres of glorious common land ideal for walking and exercising, and hosts a superb range of amenities including various shops, petrol station, doctors’ and dentists’ surgeries, places of worship, a gym, pubs and restaurants, primary and secondary schooling and the popular Plough Arts Centre, as well as RHS Rosemoor Gardens a short distance away. The Tarka Trail also runs through the town, which offers excellent walking and cycling opportunities.
The thriving port and market town of Bideford which sits on the banks of the River Torridge, is around 6.5 miles away, and offers a more extensive range of amenities including schooling for all ages with private schooling available at Kingsley College, a range of supermarkets, shops, pubs and restaurants, Post Office and bank.
A few miles further north there is access to the stunning North Devon coastline, which was selected in April 2022 as a ‘World Surfing Reserve’ (WSR) – the first in the UK and only cold-water WSR in the world – with the charming coastal villages of Appledore, Instow and the 3 mile long safe and sandy beach at Westward Ho! are all around 9 miles away. There is also access onto the South West Coastal Footpath, which affords excellent walks with breath-taking coastal vistas.
The regional centre of Barnstaple is around 12 miles away, and offers all the area’s main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues. There is access via the A361 North Devon Link Road to Tiverton Parkway railway station and the M5 Motorway at Junction 27.
Communications - The area can be accessed from Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway, and along the A361 North Devon Link Road which leads onto the A39 Atlantic Highway. The nearest train stations are located at Umberleigh (8 miles) and Barnstaple (12 miles), both of which connect to Exeter, where there are regular mainline rail services to London Paddington in just over 2 hours. Alternatively, Tiverton Parkway Mainline Railway Station is just over an hour’s drive away, which connects to London and beyond.

The Property - This is an opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented character cottage in a tranquil hamlet, enjoying a wonderful tucked away and private position.

Equally as impressive externally, this charming cottage is approached over a private driveway to a turning circle, parking and triple bay garage.
