West Down, Ilfracombe, Devon, EX34

Micawbers Rest is a captivating semi-detached cottage, nestled in the heart of the village presenting the property beautifully yet retaining the character and charm of its original period. Convenience is at your doorstep, with the community shop, village pub, and Primary School just a short stroll away.

Stepping inside the property via an outside porch, a welcoming entrance lobby greets you and opens into the spacious dining room. This space has all the charm of a traditional cottage with its feature fireplace, timber window seat and wooden floorboards. This really is the heart of the home.

From here into the kitchen with its locally sourced slate worktop, a range of wall and base Shaker style units with a Bosch electric oven, 4 ring gas hob, stainless steel sinks and space for an undercounter fridge.

Across the dining room leads you to the lounge area with its double aspect windows allowing a huge amount of natural light in to the room. A large inglenook fireplace complete with a log burning stove insures this space is cosy and warm.

The first bedroom can be found on the ground floor which could also double as a home office or hobby room. Further on via the hallway is an rear entrance porch where the gas combination boiler can be found. This then leads to the downstairs shower room with accompanying WC and wash hand basin. Space and plumbing can be found for a washing machine and tumble dryer as well as additional storage.

To the first floor, the main bedroom is spacious with a further dual aspect window setup, enabling the owner to view out over the nearby countryside. Extra wide timber floorboards and original wood beams create a very characterful room.

The second bedroom looks over the front garden with the third bedroom once again looking over the nearby countryside. The family bathroom has a timber panelled bath with WC, wash hand basin and storage for towels and toiletries.

The private front garden is a real haven with the whole space being level and lawned with an array of mature shrubs, bushes and trees. To have this size garden in this location is a real rarity especially with the addition of a sizeable timber outbuilding which could very easily be a home office/gym/hobbies room. There is a right of access for the adjoining property between the main residence and the front garden.

Parking can be easily enjoyed on the village road which has no restrictions.
Applicants are advised to proceed from our offices in a westerly direction heading out of town on the main A361 sign posted for Barnstaple. Proceed straight across the Mullacott Cross roundabout and continue along this road for approximately one and a half miles turning left at Dean's Cross sign posted West Down. Follow the road to the T-Junction and then turn right towards the village centre. The property will be located on your left hand side after passing the Village Hall on your right hand side.
