4 bedroom detached house for sale

Located on the north side of the pretty village of Bradworthy in North Devon, Rosebay Cottage is one of five unique, cottage-style homes on the select new Foxtail Meadow development. Built by craftsmen with an abundance of natural materials, this lovely home is filled with character and old country charm.

Compared to an old draughty cottage, this modern new build home has much lower running costs thanks to the installation of an air source heat pump, underfloor heating, and the latest thermal efficient insulations. Unlike the bland rooms of standard new build properties, Rosebay Cottage has been built with softly rounded walls creating the warmth and welcome of old country homes for which Devon is renowned.

In addition to the three bedrooms upstairs, including a spacious master ensuite bedroom, there is also a downstairs bedroom and bathroom to comfortably accommodate family or guests and a further room that lends itself perfectly to being either a snug or fifth bedroom.


Inside
The sheltering, timber-framed entrance to Rosebay Cottage invites you to come inside where you will notice straight away the beautiful solid wood staircase and internal doors, set perfectly against the soft-edged walls and natural slate flooring.

Kitchen/Dining/Sitting Room
The open-plan double-aspect living area is a wonderful space to spend time with family and friends, offering plenty of dining area and comfortable sitting, complete with a cosy log burner set in a beamed, cottage-like fireplace. The traditional shaker-style kitchen with its island, offers plenty of room for storage and preparation. Here, the bifold doors allow light to flood in and make easy access to the patio and the large back garden for alfresco dining.

The floor to the kitchen is a timeless, natural slate and both this and the wood floors of the sitting area, benefit from under-floor heating which runs throughout the ground floor.

Laundry Room
The fully equipped laundry room has a door to the garden making it easy when hanging washing out or returning from a country walk with muddy boots, or perhaps keeping a wet, dog out from the rest of the house. This useful room also has convenient access to the integral garage.

Downstairs Bedroom/s
With the addition of a downstairs fourth bedroom with a large window looking out onto the back garden, and a downstairs bathroom, as well as a snug/office/fifth bedroom, this cottage lends itself to accommodating visitors or relatives and offers plenty of space for a growing family.

Upstairs
The master bedroom in Rosebay Cottage is light and spacious with a pretty dormer window to the rear and a second, full-length window looking out to the side.
It also has a beautiful handmade fitted, wood-fronted wardrobe for storing away your clothes. As with all the bathrooms at Foxtail Meadow, the ensuite shower is tiled in a soft neutral colour, with the floor in a natural-looking, non-slip ceramic tile. An electric point above the sink allows for a cabinet with lighting, shaving, and toothbrush charging. A lovely heated towel rail means warm towels await you after a bath.

Bedroom two also enjoys the added interest of a dormer window as does bedroom three. The family shower room is situated between the two.
Notably, the stairwell is a feature of this lovely modern cottage. Lit by a bespoke glass window to the front and a roof light above, the craftsman-made, solid wood staircase with its glass balustrading allows light to reflect around the walls.

Garage
The garage has a retractable door that can easily be automated. It is also built with the capacity to install an electric car charger. Should you ever wish, the space has the potential to be converted to extend the downstairs living area as it is constructed to the same cavity wall specification as the rest of the house.

Gardens
The gardens to the front of the property have a 3ft boundary natural picket fence that edges the lawn creating a wonderful opportunity to design and plant with your favourite cottage garden flowers.

A pathway leads from your driveway to your front doorstep, finished in a natural non-slip ceramic slate tile and edged in brick.
The generous back gardens of Rosebay Cottage are laid to lawn with a patio leading out from the kitchen. The perfect space for extending your living area outside in the summer months. There is also an outside tap for filling your birdbath and watering your plants and an electric socket for a sprinkle of fairy lights.

Devon banks and hedgerows
The surrounding countryside with its glorious meadows, Devon banks, and hedgerows are filled with wildflowers, from primroses and cow parsley in early spring to the bluebells, foxgloves, oxeye daisies, as well as the late summer abundant harvests of blackberries and sloes for delicious puddings and preserves.

Ease and Convenience
Foxtail Meadow, is in a very convenient location, just a level few minutes walk from the village square, the center of Bradworthy, with its wealth of amenities. In fact, almost everything you need can be found in the village, including an award-winning primary school, a doctor's surgery, food and household supplies as well as a garage for fuel and repairs. All this with beautiful countryside on your doorstep and the glorious North Devon and Cornwall coastline just a short trip away, Rosebay Cottage is well worth a visit.
