3 bed detached house to rent

Barnstaple, Devon EX31

Among the many reasons to love this particular 19th Century cottage, the garden (and the views thereof) are some of the largest, in my humble opinion. Do not get me wrong – the cottage is quintessential and spacious enough to raise families as it has done for generations. With a fireplace and log burner in each of the principle rooms on the ground floor, there is traditional warmth to compliment the electric heaters, but moreover a great feeling of nostalgia. It is believed that the home was built in the 1880’s (most likely of stone and cobb) with later additions in the early 20th Century.

There are 3 bedrooms (2 doubles and 1 single), a large landing and bathroom on the first floor, whilst on the ground floor – a large entrance hall, inner hall with pantry, a dual aspect sitting room and the dining room/kitchen. Behind this is the utility room and this, in turn leads to a rear yard and large wood store.

The home is elevated from the road with pedestrian gated access only. There is parking available close by.

There is an enclosed yard to the front and paths lead to the side of the of the property to the rear, and steps to the right of this leading up in to the garden. The garden has a perimeter path to right and steps to the lower lawn on the left. The garden stretches up and out and levels at the end where there are a couple of outbuildings and a level decked area. This spot is where the views are at their best, although stunning from any level. There is a former growing area closest the house and a great deal of privacy. Better still, aside from a few shade providing firs, there is nothing to obstruct the sun. It is a perfect Southerly aspect and bathed in it all day.

Available to view immediately.
