A private driveway provides parking for three vehicles, while the attractive stone façade creates an inviting first impression. The property also benefits from a garage and an outbuilding, which offers significant potential for conversion (subject to the necessary planning permissions), making it ideal for those seeking additional accommodation, a studio, or workspace.
Inside, the ground floor features a welcoming lounge centred around a wood burner, creating a cosy focal point. A spacious dining room enjoys natural light and garden views, while the traditional kitchen is fitted with an Aga, complemented by a separate larder. A utility room and well-appointed wet room complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, there are three generous double bedrooms, each enjoying delightful views across the surrounding countryside, with a continued sense of light and space throughout.
The gardens provide a peaceful and private setting, perfect for relaxing or entertaining, with wonderful countryside walks on the doorstep. The nearby village of Bratton Fleming offers everyday amenities, while the regional centre of Barnstaple is approximately fifteen minutes away, providing a wider range of shops, schools, and transport links.
This delightful cottage presents a rare opportunity to embrace village life in a highly desirable location, with excellent scope to further enhance and adapt the property to suit individual needs.
From Barnstaple town centre take the unclassified road signposted Goodleigh and Bratton Fleming. Continue towards Bratton Fleming and at Loxhore cross turn left. Follow the road to Loxhore Cott and follow the road up the hill. Turn right at the junction, which is approximately 75m from the bend at the top of the hill and continue down the road and Thornleigh will be the second property on the right-hand side.
