Situation - Bucks Mills is a former fishing village which grew along the stream leading down the valley to the sea. Most of the cottages in Bucks Mills were originally estate cottages built around 1812 to1835, but many are now private dwellings or holiday homes, making this unique property an ideal principle residence or a perfect holiday let investment. Literally a stone's throw from Bucks Cottage is access to the South West Coast Path providing picturesque walks. The nucleus of the village is a cluster of about a dozen houses, centred around a small square at the cliff top. Beyond the square and properties, the cliff drops sharply and the stream cascades over the cliff to the beach. A steep pathway leads down from the square, past the Old Lime Kilns to a pebbly beach with charming rock pools. There are strips of sandy beach between the rocks at low tides. The coastline is also a haven for sporting pursuits including fishing, kayaking and coastal walks to name a few. From the beach, there are spectacular views across the North Devon coastline and beyond, including the famous, historic village of Clovelly and Lundy Island.
There are more extensive shopping facilities and amenities available at the port and market town of Bideford around 10 miles away. Clovelly village is located around 4 miles away and Hartland and Bradworthy are also both just over 8 miles. The regional centre at Barnstaple, about 18 miles, offers all the area's main business, shopping and commercial venues. There are also good transport opportunities via the A361, which connects to the motorway network via junction 27 of the M5 or via rail and the Tarka Line.
Description - Bucks Cottage is a charming, Grade II listed, detached, period cottage which is nestled in the arms of nature within the timeless coastal village of Bucks Mills. The cottage offers characterful yet deceptively spacious accommodation set within wonderful gardens and boasting some lovely sea views. The cottage also offers off-road parking for three vehicles and a single garage. Bucks Cottage is perfect for anyone seeking a property with a sense of complete tranquillity with the burbling stream nearby, walking to the beach for a cold water dip or a heart-thumping hike along the South West Coast Path. All is within walking distance. A unique opportunity and certainly a property that needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated.
Accommodation - Stained glass front door leads into the entrance porch with space for coats, boots etc, leading to the entrance hall with access to the two reception rooms, both are dual aspect and benefit from sash windows and inglenook fireplaces with wood burners. The sitting room has direct access and views to the wonderful garden with sea views in the distance. The dining room has space for a large dining table and leads nicely into the kitchen/breakfast room which offers a good range of higher and lower units, inset sink, Redfyre stove, integrated dishwasher, breakfast bar for seating, tiled flooring and door to enclosed and private courtyard. There is also space for white goods, space for coats, boots etc and shower room with WC and sink.
On the first floor is a bathroom and four double bedrooms, all benefitting from slightly different views with two boasting some lovely views over the garden, Bucks Mills and the sea in the distance. The bathroom includes tiled walls, side panel bath with shower above, WC and sink.
Outside - The gardens at Bucks Cottage are without a doubt a real feature of this property and are truly delightful, as the cottage garden is slightly elevated from the road and backs onto National Trust Woodland this means it benefits from a complete sense of peace and seclusion. The sounds of the nearby stream completes this scene. To the rear there is a formal courtyard style garden with patio area for dining interspersed with a multitude of flowers, shrubs and trees with access to the garage, front driveway, stone outbuilding/log store and the rest of the garden. The main garden can be found to the side and front of the property, with a sweeping lawn, surrounded by an assortment of mature plants, trees and shrubs with sea glimpses in the distance. To the front is parking for three vehicles and a single garage.
Services - Mains water and electric. Oil central heating. Private drainage.
