4 bedroom house for sale

A wonderful and individual four bedroom attached character cottage situated in the heart of this highly sought after North Devon village. Full of charm and history, the property is believed to have originally formed three separate cottages and today offers surprisingly spacious and versatile accommodation with a warm, welcoming feel throughout.

A particularly impressive entrance hall with feature fireplace creates a grand first impression and leads through to two separate reception rooms, each offering flexibility for living, dining or study space. The kitchen includes a useful pantry and is complemented by a utility room and ground floor shower facilities.

To the first floor are four bedrooms, including three comfortable doubles, together with a family bathroom and separate W.C.

Outside the property continues to impress. A gated walled front garden with lawn provides an attractive approach and hints at the cottage’s past with two front doors. There is off-street parking for one car on the shared driveway of Skirr Cottage and Verbena. Side access leads to a private rear courtyard with two former cow shed outbuildings and a substantial two-storey barn incorporating a workshop and first floor games room, offering excellent potential for a variety of uses (subject to any necessary consents). A further outbuilding houses the oil tank and boiler. To the courtyard, there is also a housed well - no longer used but holds water.

Above the courtyard is a tiered garden enjoying lovely views across the village rooftops towards the church, creating a peaceful and characterful setting. There are raised beds, apple trees and lawn.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, Verbena Cottage presents a rare opportunity to acquire a unique home with personality, space and future potential all within walking distance of the church, pubs, school and fantastic walks and beaches nearby.
