Situation - Rose Cottage is idyllically situated, approached over an old stone humped bridge crossing Milford Water, a stream which follows the base of the valley down and cascades as a spectacular waterfall over the cliff tops to the beach and sea below. This is Speke's Mill Mouth which is accessible via an unmade track giving access down to the beach via a healthy 15minute walk. This is the same beach where Prince William is reputed to have tried his hand at surfing, whilst he was staying locally for his stag weekend.
The cottage is surrounded by woodland in a quiet and peaceful valley. The hamlet offers wonderful coastal and inland walks together with delightful countryside, ideal for riding and cycling. Nearby Hartland village, about 3 miles away, has a thriving community with an excellent range of local amenities including café, shops, Post Office, pubs, medical centre and primary school. There are churches, a variety of clubs, societies and an award-winning restaurant called Pattard Restaurant. Popular attractions include Hartland Abbey, The Lighthouse at Hartland Point and a 16th Century Quay with its shipwreck museum, pub and hotel.
The towns of Bideford and Bude around 15 miles away offer extensive facilities, including further education establishments, banks and other amenities. Barnstaple is around 45 minutes by car. Junction 27 of the M5 and Tiverton Parkway rail station are approximately 90 minutes away with regular services to London Paddington, the Midlands, the North, Scotland and the South West.
Description - This particularly charming, detached, character cottage presents white-painted stone elevations, beneath a slate roof. The cottage has been sensitively maintained over the years with the interior now combining characterful original features, such as slate flagstone flooring, inglenook fireplace and exposed beams with contemporary upgrades like a sleek, modern kitchen. Located in a picturesque setting the cottage is immersed in greenery, with a cottage-style garden enjoying fine views as well as a detached stone 'artist' studio, off road parking and large workshop bordered by the nearby babbling stream.
The front door, classically positioned in the centre of the white-washed cottage's façade, opens to the sitting room with large slate flagstone flooring, window seat, large inglenook fireplace, complete with an historic bread oven and its wooden lintel. Beyond is a bright and airy kitchen that comprises refined cabinetry with granite worktops, inset sink, integrated fridge, double oven and electric hob. Space for dining table and stable door to the garden. Downstairs WC with sink.
Blue painted stairs lead to the first floor, where there are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Both bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, exposed wooded floors, fitted sinks and some fine views of the surrounding woodland. The bathroom includes a shower, side panel bath, sink and uniquely designed WC.
Outside - The gardens to Rose Cottage compliment the house perfectly, embracing the wild and flowing style that provides year-round interest, complete with walkways and areas to sit, relax and listen to the nearby stream and wildlife. To the very top is the 'Artist studio' which is a detached stone building with slate roof which includes wooden flooring, a wash basin and electricity. A wonderful, peaceful space to simply relax with a drink, paint, read, work and enjoy the surrounding woodland views.
Across the lane is parking for three vehicles and a large detached workshop with a babbling brook at the bottom of it.
Services - Oil-fired central heating. Mains electric and private water. Private drainage (we understand this is located outside of the boundary of Rose Cottage) For more information please talk to the selling agent.
