North Street, Dolton, Winkleigh

Located in a picturesque North Devon Village is this Grade II listed thatched character cottage pleasantly situated in the heart of Dolton, yet sits in a tucked away and quiet position. The property boasts many charming features such as exposed beams, feature fireplaces and of course the beautiful thatched roof.

Hodges Cottage is approached on a quiet lane with a driveway to the side providing off-road parking and provides access leading to a large rear garden providing countryside views beyond. Stepping inside the property offers adaptable and versatile accommodation with the potential to become a 4 bedroom if needed as there are 3 good size reception rooms with the 2 at the front both having feature character fireplaces. The family room at the back has glass doors opening out onto the rear garden and off here is the useful utility room and WC. The large, farmhouse style kitchen has an ample range of units with working surfaces, solid fuel Aga, space for a dining table and space for further appliances.

Stairs from the kitchen lead to the first floor where there are 3 bedrooms with the master bedroom being of a particularly good size and looks out over the lane and is complimented by a very generous, modern en suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom complete with 3 piece suite.

A property of this style rarely comes to the market and as such Phillips, Smith & Dunn highly recommend an inspection at your earliest convenience.

Dolton is located between the villages of Beaford, Winkleigh and Merton, with the village offering a vibrant community with local amenties including a grocery shop, electrical shop, popular village hall and there are also two Public Houses, both supplying good food & drink.
