Bratton Clovelly, Okehampton, Devon, EX20

We are very pleased to market this beautifully presented, Grade II listed, detached cottage located in the desirable village of Bratton Clovelly. This 4-bedroom property has been extensively improved by the current owners and the interior is finished to a very high standard. The property benefits from gated driveway with parking for multiple vehicles, a detached timber garage, and a private garden.

Town Farm Cottage is approached through a pretty front garden with granite troughs and a water feature. A wooden stable door beneath a slate storm porch leads into the generous entrance hall which incorporates the main stairs and the rear door to the driveway. The entrance hall boasts slate floors which continue through to the dining room. The characterful kitchen has a comprehensive array of cabinets which include an in-built dishwasher, fridge drawers, freezer and washing machine. The original kitchen hearth, believed to be the older part of the house, houses a large range cooker and an original bread oven. The kitchen is also large enough to accommodate a table in the centre.

Back through the hall into the dining room you will find a wood burner set within another original hearth and a feature cast iron radiator which also feature elsewhere in the property. Through the dining room, you step down into the second wing of the property which was originally an attached barn. This has been sympathetically developed and offers a very different feel to the original part of the property. The ground floor accommodates a spacious and bright 27’ living room with higher ceilings, triple aspect windows, feature church doors to the side, and French doors opening onto the raised decked area of the garden. This fantastic entertaining space also affords a modern inset multi fuel burner and the bespoke oak staircase to the upper floor.

Upstairs in the main part of the house are two large double bedrooms and main bathroom. The main bedroom has a built-in wardrobe, feature fire place and a south facing window to the front of the property. The second double room also has a window to the front of the property. Above the living room, the stairs lead up to a mezzanine area which is used as a home office space but could serve as the fourth bedroom. This space is currently partitioned by a solid oak screen which matches the staircase and has roof lights giving a bright and airy feel. A modern shower room and a door through to the third bedroom are also located above the living room. The third bedroom is a bright double room with roof light and window which overlooks the garden.

The gated vehicular access at the rear of the property accesses the gravelled parking which leads down beside the property and through the rear garden to the garage and log-store. A large area of the garden is now laid to gravel to reduce the maintenance required, but lawn could easily be reinstated. There is an area of beds and a separate vegetable garden with greenhouse in a lower section of the garden. A raised, decked area is accessible from the French doors in the living room which enjoy a sunny aspect and make the most of the views towards the adjoining woodland.

Property is serviced by mains electricity, water and drainage. The home and water are heated by an external oil-fired boiler.

Town Farm Cottage is located at the heart of the sought after rural village of Bratton Clovelly. The village has a thriving community and a range of amenities including the well-regarded family public house, The Clovelly Inn which is located next door. The village is located in a very beautiful area of Devon with rolling countryside and offers fantastic opportunities for walking, including the nearby Roadford Lake. The village’s location is accessible to Tavistock and Okehampton and access onto the A30 is convenient for a direct link to Exeter, the M5, train links and international air connections.

A NOTE FROM THE VENDOR:

"Bratton Clovelly is special. A quiet village with a beating heart: The friendly community that will welcome you and offer help when it is needed; a thriving local pub and a beautiful old church that along with the Parish hall are the multi- centres of village life.

Living in Town Farm Cottage we have felt part of the fabric of the place a great belonging that will be hard to leave. We know because we have tried twice before, once from a large 5 bedroom place and we only managed to cross the road thinking we were downsizing. But the cottage is bigger than it looks. More recently we were all set to go when a change of heart kept us in the place we love. But don't worry, we promise we won't do it again!
Enjoy Bratton and the cottage, we have enormously."
