SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION

A charming period cottage situated in the heart of the idyllic village of Bratton Clovelly.
Bratton Clovelly is a delightful village with an interesting mix of period houses, a popular 15th century church, a village hall which hosts many local activities including art groups, fitness classes, music and local talks, a village square and a traditional public house which is renowned by locals and visitors alike for its welcoming atmosphere and excellent food. There is a primary school at nearby Boasley Cross and secondary education in nearby Okehampton. The village has a thriving community and the benefit of a 'mobile shop' that visits the village.
The surrounding countryside is particularly unspoilt and typically Devonian with rolling hills and wooded valleys which are criss-crossed by quiet country lanes and footpaths, notably the village lies on one of the oldest Pack Horse Trails between Devon and Cornwall. Nearby, Roadford Lake provides the opportunity for water sports and scenic walks around its perimeter, as well as having an excellent cafe.
Also nearby is a local Vineyard with a restaurant, event facilities and tours. Just a few miles away you will find a post office and bustling farm shops with cafes. Both the North and South coasts are easily accessible from the village and Cornwall is just a few miles away, thus providing an excellent location for those wishing to participate in coastal pursuits such as surfing, coastal walks etc. Bratton Clovelly is approximately 10 miles from the busy former market town of Okehampton which boasts a popular shopping area including three supermarkets, including Waitrose, as well as many interesting locally owned shops and a cinema. Okehampton also has a train station which links to Exeter and then onwards to London and other parts of the UK. Primary and secondary education is well catered for in local schools. The recreation ground and park contains amongst other things, a covered heated swimming pool and there are superb local beauty spots where one may enjoy walking, riding and fishing. Most sports are available in the town including 18-hole golf course, squash courts, indoor rifle range and a thriving rugby and soccer scene.

A delightful character property, retaining many period features, which has been sympathetically restored to a very high standard by the sellers.
The beautifully light, and deceptively spacious accommodation comprises of : hallway; cloakroom; a country-style kitchen; a spacious dual aspect dining area and sitting room, with a central staircase and feature stone built fireplaces, with bread ovens to both dining and sitting room areas. The fireplace to the sitting room has a fitted multi-fuel burner, perfect for cosy winter nights.
To the first floor is a split landing, with window to rear and doors leading to two double bedrooms, which are both dual aspect. The main bedroom has the benefit of an ensuite bathroom and large storage room, with a modern hot water storage tank.
The second bedroom enjoys a recessed shower cubicle and a wash hand basin.
To the outside, the property is accessed via a gated pathway, leading to an attractive raised terraced area. Directly opposite the property is a small level, enclosed garden. A good number of well established plants and bushes make for a lovely place to sit and relax.
A very short distance from the cottage is a substantial garage/workshop building, with large double doors and great head height, allowing parking for most modern day cars. The building could offer a range of other potential uses (subject to the relevant planning consents being obtained).
The property has had some major works and improvements in our sellers time of ownership, including a new roof to the cottage and the garage/workshop; both front and rear elevations have been re-rendered in lime render; bespoke double glazed windows throughout, with the exception of one window in the kitchen; a new hot water tank system; replacement multi-fuel burner.
