Description
Set amidst the peaceful charm of the countryside, this delightful two-bedroom detached cottage offers the perfect blend of rustic character and modern comfort. Positioned on an expansive half-acre plot, the property features a beautifully converted one-bedroom detached annexe and enjoys the privacy and serenity of mature, landscaped gardens that flourish in every season.
Step inside to discover a thoughtfully designed interior where contemporary style meets classic cottage charm. The modern kitchen is a standout feature—fully equipped with high-end appliances, ample storage, and elegant countertops, it's a space that inspires culinary creativity while preserving the home's warm, inviting ambiance. Adjacent lies the cosy sitting room, the true heart of the home, offering a welcoming setting for quiet evenings or entertaining guests. One of the most impressive aspects of this property is the large conservatory, which extends the living space and frames sweeping views of the rear garden. Bathed in natural light, this versatile room is perfect for everything from morning coffee to afternoon reading, or simply soaking in the ever-changing beauty of the surrounding nature.
Upstairs, two spacious double bedrooms enjoy picturesque views of the countryside, while the family bathroom is well-appointed with a bathtub, separate shower, WC, and basin—combining functionality with comfort.
The exterior grounds are nothing short of enchanting. Encompassing approximately half an acre, the gardens are a horticultural haven, featuring mature trees, colourful borders, and manicured lawns—ideal for outdoor gatherings, leisurely afternoons, or simply enjoying the peace that only a rural setting can offer.
Adding further appeal is the detached annexe, formerly a garage, now transformed into a charming one-bedroom retreat. Complete with its own amenities, this space is ideal for guests, extended family, a home office, or even as a potential source of rental income.
Field cottage occupies an outstanding rural position conveniently situated, with very few immediate neighbours. The parish is made up of the three small hamlets of Kentisbury, Kentisbury Ford and Patchole, which together afford a thriving local community providing a primary school, village hall and parish church.
Despite its peaceful and secluded rural position the home still enjoys easy access to the surrounding districts and further afield with the larger towns of Barnstaple and South Molton providing an extensive range of every day shopping, banking, recreational and educational facilities. From both of these towns the A361 North Devon link road provides easy access to Tiverton and the M5 motorway (Junction 27). Mainline intercity rail links are available at Tiverton Parkway (London, Paddington approx. 2 hours) with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.
The Exmoor National Park offers beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths and the stunning North Devon coastline, designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with its popular resorts of Lynton, Lynmouth, Combe Martin and Ilfracombe. Further to the west are the renowned bathing and surfing beaches of Woolacombe, Putsborough, Croyde and Saunton.
