3 bedroom link detached house for sale

Often property seekers in the South West have a very specific set of wishes when they move to the area. In their minds eye they will often be looking for a character home in a village, with parking and a short stroll from the local pub. There must be a feature fireplace with log burning stove, a light and modern kitchen, countryside walks from their doorsteps and a short drive to the nearest coastline. Its sounds like an impossible task to find all this in one place but that is exactly what is on offer in this dream Devon home.

Churchgate Cottage has seen many improvements over the years, none more so than the current owner has undertaken. The lengthy list extends to a new roof externally as well as having an internal reconfiguration. As part of this the kitchen has been re-fitted and incorporates integrated appliances. The living room is a particular favourite of mine, a welcoming, cosy yet spacious room oozing character. Imagine coming in from a hard day at work, kicking your shoes off and warming your toes in front of the fire whilst enjoying a glass of your favourite tipple. Although a period home there is a light and airy feel throughout, complimented beautifully in its modern, contemporary decor. It really is a truly lovely home. Opposite the cottage is a driveway, large enough to park a car. Next to the driveway is the garage, a fantastic space to store garden furniture, tools and many others bits that need to be out of sight. The enclosed garden is accessed from the driveway via a gated entrance and constitutes the ideal space to enjoy the best of the fresh air.

Location is often key when considering a move.
Beaford is only a short drive to the closest town of Great Torrington, between which you will find RHS Garden Rosemoor, a beautiful place to visit all year round. Great Torrington itself will cater for most of your shopping needs, this historic cavalier town is surrounded by 365 acres of countryside allowing for miles of scenic walks with access to the locally renowned Tarka trail, a footpath / cycle way mainly built on the bed of a disused railway where the gradients are gentle. It winds its way following the course of the river Torridge as far North as Ilfracombe or going inland South towards Meeth.

The Globe Inn opposite is locally renowned for good food and even better, locally and regionally sourced real ales. The pub was even voted CAMRA North Devon pub of the year in 2020.

All in all this beautiful home has a lot to offer but ticking boxes aside, it is in my experience that the feel of the home is what will make you buy it. Only by visiting Churchgate Cottage you will know if it is "the one". I strongly urge you to take the time to experience it for yourself and would love the opportunity to meet with you there to help embed what you see on paper in the flesh.
