A charming character cottage with far-reaching views and delightful gardens, located in a peaceful semi-rural position. EPC: F

The Property - Shepherds Cottage is a charming attached cottage which enjoys a peaceful, tucked away, position in the semi-rural hamlet of Ryall, with stunning far-reaching views to Symonsbury and the Marshwood Vale. The oldest part of the cottage is believed to date back some 200 years, with later extensions added since and still exhibits fascinating character features including exposed beams, an impressive fireplace with former bread oven and parquet flooring in the sitting room.

Under the current ownership a whole number of improvements have been undertaken and the cottage features a fitted kitchen with pine units, electric oven and ceramic hob, uPVC windows/doors, updated modern bathroom and shower room.

The accommodation is well proportioned with a great degree of flexibility. On the ground floor there is an ‘L’ shaped kitchen and split-level shower room, there are also two main reception rooms, conservatory/garden room and third bedroom/third reception room. On the first floor there are two bedrooms, the principal is of a very good size, and a fully tiled bathroom.

Outside - Shepherds Cottage stands slightly elevated with vehicular access to a single garage and through a five-bar gate onto a tarmac driveway, with substantial log store alongside measuring 11ft by 3ft.

The lovely gardens are a particular further feature, stretching to both sides of the property, the gardens are primarily laid to established lawn with well stocked flower and shrub borders. There are glorious views over the Marshwood Vale.

A further big selling feature is the newly built studio/garden room/home office, which is fully insulated with power and light, LED downlighters, uPVC window and French doors, taking advantage of the lovely views
