Kentisbury, Barnstaple, Devon, EX31

Set in the heart of the picturesque North Devon countryside, Horsepool Cottage offers a great opportunity to acquire a detached period home full of charm and character. Located in the sought-after village of Kentisbury, this delightful cottage is perfect for those seeking peace, privacy, and a slower pace of life, while still being within easy reach of Exmoor National Park and the stunning North Devon coastline.

Approached via a quiet country lane, the property benefits from private off-road parking. As you arrive, the charm of Horsepool Cottage is immediately apparent. Entry to the home is through a stable-style door, opening into a practical porch. The lounge enjoys exposed beams, deep windowsills and a wonderful wood burner. The current owner has tastefully updated the ground floor with traditional lime flagstone flooring, which runs throughout, complementing the property’s historic features.

The kitchen, located just off the lounge, continues the rustic feel. The kitchen walls are exposed stone, therefore the kitchen is freestanding individual units and will not be included within the guide price. (speak to the agent for full details)

Upstairs, the cottage offers two comfortable double bedrooms, each enjoying far-reaching views across the garden and open countryside beyond. A well-appointed bathroom completes the first floor, fitted with a three-piece suite.

A fantastic feature of Horsepool Cottage is undoubtedly its stunning garden. Designed for both beauty and function, it is a true haven for gardeners. The large, private plot features a wide array of mature shrubs, flowering plants, and fruit trees. Mainly laid to lawn with thoughtfully positioned seating areas.

In addition to the main house, the property also benefits from 3 outbuildings, enhancing its potential and versatility. One contains a WC, while two others are fitted with lighting and power—making them ideal for use as workshops, garden studios, hobby rooms, or secure storage.

Whether you are searching for a full-time residence or a holiday home, Horsepool Cottage presents a rare opportunity to own a slice of Devon countryside with timeless appeal.
