Description - We are delighted to offer for sale this semi-detached cottage located in an elevated position in the pretty village of Monkleigh enjoying far reaching countryside views over the surrounding farmland and distant countryside.
This is a rare opportunity to purchase this individual home complete with detached two storey double garage and large studio above. Believed to originally date back to the 1910s, this is the first time the property has been on the market in over 32 years.
The cottage's accommodation briefly comprises entrance porch and hallway to the front, cosy sitting room with fireplace and woodburning stove, under stairs storage cupboard, spacious kitchen/dining room with enough space for a large farmhouse table and chairs with rear porch. On the first floor, there are two bedrooms, airing cupboard and a modern family bathroom.
Workshop/Garaging - The large detached, two storey, garage was constructed in 2009 and built to provide the current owner with a light and airy studio space and additional storage. With this in mind, the fantastic additional space/accommodation would be prefect for a home office, painters studio or consultation rooms.
Outside - The property is complimented by having parking to the front and rear with a large private 88ft garden to the rear that is mainly laid to lawn, bordered by mature trees and backing onto open farmland.
Planning Permission - In October 2019, Torridge District Council (TDC) granted full planning approval for the conversion of the detached two storey garage and studio into a standalone two storey dwelling, ideal for a dependant relative, self-contained annexe or could be rented out as a holiday let or residential long term let, to offer a few suggestions. Copies of the paperwork relating to the permission, including approved plans, are available from the agents or downloadable from the Torridge District Council website using REF: 1/0695/2019/FUL
Directions - From Bideford Quay, proceed through the villages of Saltrens and Landcross. Upon reaching Monkleigh village, bear right by the pub and the property can be found shortly on the right hand side.
