Oakford, Tiverton, Devon

Charming stone-built cottage in a tranquil woodland setting. This beautifully presented, three bedroom country retreat has a wonderful riverside garden and ample private parking.

1a Townwood House occupies a wonderfully peaceful woodland setting in the tree-filled valley of Iron Mill Stream, with no passing traffic and a beautiful south-facing aspect. Built in 2007, this beautifully presented end-of-terrace stone cottage combines character with modern comfort, including hardwood double glazing and underfloor heating throughout.

The spacious entrance hall has tiled flooring, understairs storage and a cloakroom. The light-filled double-aspect sitting/dining room leads through to a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room with fitted units, Bosch double oven, ceramic hob and extractor. A useful utility room provides fitted storage, sink, stable door to outside and space for appliances, with the fridge/freezer and washing machine included. Upstairs, the bright master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom, with two further bedrooms served by a modern family shower room.

Outside, there is a large gravelled parking area with timber garden shed, together with further parking opposite. The secluded riverside garden is a particular feature, providing a tranquil setting beside the stream, with the surrounding woodland attracting kingfishers and dippers. There is also a useful storage/bin area to the rear. Full vehicular access is available via a track suitable for 2WD vehicles.

The property enjoys a Dark Sky location, with no street lighting and wonderful night skies, together with superfast broadband, making it well suited to those working from home. Subject to the necessary planning consents, there is also potential for solar panels to the roof and possibly the adjoining bank, offering scope for greater energy independence.
