The current owners of Magpie Cottage have really gone to town to improve and enhance the original property to make what is now a most charming & characterful 3/4 bedroom home. This can only be appreciated when seeing it first hand; you will not be disappointed, as there are very few cottages available, like Magpie Cottage, in today's market!

The rooms are very welcoming and flow nicely with slate flooring to the ground floor. The sitting room has an Inglenook fireplace with a wood burner, bread oven with stone surround and beam.

This further opens to the rear hall with understairs cupboard. The dining room is tastefully decorated with a feature stone fireplace and painted ceiling beams. A door leads to the rear snug which can be used as a a 4th Bedroom, study or TV room..

The landing is slightly split level and can be used as a study area. The 2nd bedroom has a mezzanine and exposed beams. The bathroom is delightful and has wide stripped floor boards, a white 4 piece suite with roll top bath, shower and a wide sink set on an attractive pine wash unit.

The cottage faces on to East Street and enjoys a pedestrian side access to the enclosed rear garden. This offers privacy, is easy to maintain and is well set out with a decked sitting area.

The cottage is one of the oldest in the village as it forms part of East Street being close to the village centre but far enough from the main traffic for it not to be a nuisance. Within a few minutes walk away is a public house, church, restaurants and coffee houses, medical centre, library and a good number of local shops and stores including a family run Cawthorne's Store.

Braunton is considered one of the largest in the country and has 3 good primary schools, secondary school and a Tesco Superstore. There is easy access to the sandy beaches at Croyde and Saunton which are just under 5 miles away. Braunton Burrows is also conveniently situated. This is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with many square miles for walking and dog walking. Barnstaple, the regional centre of North Devon, is just over 5 miles to the south east and here a wider range of amenities can be found including the new North Devon Leisure Centre, Tarka Tennis, Scotts Cinema and Queens Theatre to name a few. There is access on to the North Devon Link Road which provides a convenient route to the M5 motorway at junction 27, also to Tiverton Parkway, the rail line which connects to London.

We are delighted to be able to offer this fine property to the market and which offers NO ONWARD CHAIN and therefore, can be purchased with confidence and with the minimum of delay.
