3 bed detached house for sale

Higher Slade, Ilfracombe, Devon EX34

Set in a peaceful semi-rural location just a short distance from Ilfracombe, Haverstock Cottage is a characterful Grade II listed detached home offering three double bedrooms, scenic countryside views, a beautifully landscaped rear garden, and a separate garage/workshop. With origins tracing back to the late Middle Ages, the cottage showcases an abundance of period charm, including two impressive inglenook fireplaces and original doors.

Entering through a timber stable door, you're welcomed into a practical entrance hall, ideal for coats and shoes. A traditional door with bell detail opens into the dining room, where the home’s rich history is immediately evident. Here you'll find the first inglenook fireplace and deep-set windows that add to the room's unique character.

The lounge continues the theme of warmth and charm, featuring the second inglenook fireplace and exposed timber ceiling beams. Adjacent is a versatile office space, which leads into a stylish, modern four-piece bathroom.

The kitchen blends traditional style with functionality, offering solid wood worktops and a stable door opening directly to the garden. Spanning 22 feet, the kitchen provides ample space for dining, allowing the formal dining room to serve as an additional reception room if desired.

Upstairs, a window seat on the landing provides a serene spot to enjoy the countryside views. The first floor also comprises three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a separate WC.

The rear garden is a standout feature—generous and thoughtfully arranged with manicured lawns, patio areas, pergolas, and summer houses. Tucked away in one corner is a charming wooden hut, perfect as a home office, creative studio, or potential AirBnB accommodation.

To the side of the cottage, a large block-built garage with a timber door currently serves as a workshop but offers flexible use for vehicle storage or additional workspace. A traditional store room adjoins the house, housing the oil tank and boiler while also providing excellent storage for logs and outdoor equipment.

This unique home must be seen to be truly appreciated and is ideally suited for those seeking a peaceful countryside lifestyle, a holiday let investment, or an escape to the 'good life'.
