Beaford, Winkleigh

We are thrilled to present this enchanting cottage, tucked away on the picturesque and historic Bond Street in Beaford. This beautiful period property is exactly the kind of home you’d expect to find featured in Country Living magazine - bursting with character, charm, and timeless appeal.

From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this home is something special. Hidden just enough to offer a sense of privacy and peace, yet still conveniently placed, the cottage immediately stands out with its traditional design and lovingly maintained exterior. It is, quite simply, one of the most charming properties we’ve had the pleasure of marketing.

Inside, the cottage offers three bedrooms, two spacious doubles and a well-sized single all full of natural light and period character. The layout works beautifully for a family, a couple, or those looking to escape to a tranquil countryside retreat.

The cosy living room, complete with a characterful log-burning stove, is the perfect spot to unwind after a country walk. Adjacent to this is a dedicated dining room, ideal for hosting friends and family. The traditional kitchen continues the story, with charming details, rustic cabinetry, and carefully preserved features that make every corner of this home worth admiring. Curved walls, exposed beams, and stonework add to the atmosphere, this is a home that truly makes you fall in love at first sight.

To the front of the cottage, a beautiful, private courtyard garden offers a wonderful space to enjoy the sun in complete tranquillity. Perfect for al fresco dining or relaxing with a morning coffee, this space also offers easy access for entertaining guests - a rare blend of charm and practicality.

One of the most unique aspects of this home is found just down the lane a separate, sizeable garden, detached from the main property but lovingly nurtured by the current owners. This stunning space has been a sanctuary for their young family and a true gardener’s paradise, offering endless potential for growing fruit and vegetables, keeping chickens or ducks, or simply enjoying outdoor life in a safe and serene setting. It’s an ideal place for children to explore freely, surrounded by nature and far from the hustle and bustle of modern life.

While this home offers a true escape, it's still conveniently located. Beaford is only a short drive from the historic market town of Great Torrington, where you’ll find everything you need for day-to-day living from independent shops and cafés to essential services. Just outside the town lies RHS Garden Rosemoor, a celebrated horticultural haven that’s a joy to visit throughout the seasons.

Nature lovers will also appreciate that Great Torrington is surrounded by 365 acres of scenic countryside, with access to the famous Tarka Trail a gentle walking and cycling path that follows the old railway line alongside the River Torridge. Whether you’re heading north toward the coast at Ilfracombe or south to Meeth, the landscapes are nothing short of spectacular.

This wonderful home offers not just beauty and character, but a lifestyle. A place where your days can begin with birdsong, where children can play freely, and where you can enjoy everything from growing your own produce to hosting garden parties in the sun. Our vendors have found immense joy in living here, and it’s clear that the cottage has been more than just a home - it’s been a treasured part of their family life.
