3 bed detached house for sale

High Street, Combe Martin, Devon EX34

This charming detached cottage, full of character, is nestled in a quiet location, yet just a short walk from the village amenities. These include a selection of independent shops, a primary school, a health center, and various pubs and restaurants. At the seaside end of the village, you'll find a small beach, along with scenic walking routes through meandering footpaths offering stunning coastal views of nearby Exmoor.

The property has been tastefully improved and is well-presented, benefiting from gas central heating and UPVC double glazing.

An entrance lobby leads into the modern kitchen, which features a range of base and wall units, along with an extractor fan. The kitchen flows into a cozy lounge with a striking brick-built fireplace, slate hearth, and multi-fuel fire. Stairs lead to the first floor, where you'll find attractive beamed ceilings. There is also a practical utility room with plumbing for an automatic washing machine, a tiled floor, and a ground-floor bathroom with a panelled bath, low-level WC, hand basin, and a large walk-in tiled shower cubicle. Upstairs, there are three well-sized bedrooms.

Outside, the property offers the added benefit of a spacious detached gable-roof garage, accessible from Highfield Gardens. The garage features an up-and-over door, light and power, and a useful boarded loft for extra storage. There is also a rear pedestrian door leading into the garden. The property itself is accessed via a gated entrance, with a small paved patio area that has outside lighting. Adjacent to the patio is a small lawn, and a brick-paved path winds around the left side of the cottage, passing vibrant flower beds and mature hedges. At the rear, you'll find another brick-paved patio and more colorful flower borders. The gardens are particularly private and well-screened from neighboring properties.

This delightful cottage offers excellent value in the current market and would be ideal for a first-time buyer, a retirement home, or a holiday property. We strongly recommend an early viewing to avoid disappointment.

Agent’s note: There is a right of way across the property from two neighboring houses at the rear to Highfield Gardens. The current owners have indicated this right of way is rarely used and is currently in the process of applying for adverse possession.
