Description - A charming attached period property offering highly versatile accommodation, off-road parking, and a private garden located in the timeless hamlet of Cross, just a short walk from Croyde village and the beach. In recent years, the cottage has been remodelled and extended, resulting in the property being divided into two 'Cottages', each with separate kitchens, accommodation, and front doors, while retaining an interconnecting internal door for access between the two, allowing it to be used as one large family home, for dual occupation by members of the same family, or for a variety of home and income purposes. We understand this will be the first time the property has entered the market so presents a rare opportunity. The layout of the accommodation with approximate dimensions is more clearly identified upon the accompanying floorplan.

Accommodation - The first half of the cottage includes a cosy living room with engineered oak flooring, wood burner, stairs to the first floor and access to the rear porch, WC and the garden. The kitchen offers a good range of fitted units, inset sink, space for appliances, oven, electric hob and space for dining table. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms with exposed floorboards and views to the front. The bathroom includes a bath with shower above, WC and sink.

The second half of the cottage offers a one-bedroom unit and includes a ground floor dual aspect living room with modern fitted kitchen, which includes integrated appliances and a breakfast bar. From here you have an interconnecting door to the other ‘cottage’ access to the rear porch and garden. Upstairs is landing space (possibly for a office set up) Dual aspect double bedroom with built in wardrobe and nice views of the garden and surrounding countryside. The bathroom includes a bath with shower above, WC and sink.

Outside - The property benefits from off road parking for one vehicle and a generous sized, south facing, private garden which enjoys some fine countryside views. There are areas of lawn, a terrace patio, garden sheds and plenty of space for outdoor dining. If required, the garden could easily be split as there are two access points from the lane. There is also potential to extend the parking area while still retaining plenty of garden.
