Rose Cottage offers spacious and well-lit living areas, carefully designed to enhance both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The property is a charming and beautifully appointed Grade II Listed detached cottage with deceptively spacious accommodation. The cottage which is believed to date in part from the early 1700's, has been redecorated throughout and sympathetically maintained in recent years whilst exhibiting many character features. In January 2022 the thatched roof has been dressed complete with a new ridge and fully netted. The accommodation comprises, an entrance porch with solid Oak doors and slate flooring, a wonderful farmhouse style dual aspect kitchen breakfast room with an abundance of storage. The sitting room is a generous size and boasts a woodburning stove and glazed doors leading to a wonderful garden room with vaulted ceiling and doors to the garden. The garden room also lends itself as a fantastic space for dining. The first floor provides a large master bedroom (formerly two bedrooms) which has also been redecorated, a second bedroom and a newly fitted shower room which benefits from a walk in double shower. For layout and approximate room measurement please see the enclosed floorplan.

The popular rural village of George Nympton is situated just over two miles from the bustling market town of South Molton, set in rolling, unspoilt North Devon countryside, with its local public house, village hall and parish church.  South Molton provides an excellent range of everyday services and amenities including shops, primary and secondary schools, restaurants, together with a supermarket, health centre, recreational facilities and a cottage hospital.  From South Molton the A361 North Devon link road provides quick and easy access  to the regional centre of Barnstaple as well as Tiverton and the M5 motorway (Junction 27).  George Nympton is surrounded by picturesque North Devon countryside with nearby Exmoor offering beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths.  The north coast is easily accessible with lovely sandy beaches at Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe.  Mainline intercity rail links are available at Tiverton Parkway (London Paddington approx. 2 hours) with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.

The property has two driveways either side of the cottage providing parking for two cars and access to the single garage. The detached garage/workshop had formerly been granted the benefit of planning consent for conversion to one bedroomed ancillary accommodation and a large study (now lapsed). This space has remained as a good sized single garage, store with the separate room currently used as a home office with a door leading through to the WC and utility room. The mature, well maintained and fully enclosed cottage style garden enjoy excellent privacy, with views over the Devon countryside. They comprise of pretty stone, brick paved and gravelled pathways and sitting out areas, with well established flower beds. Also contained within the gardens is a useful workshop 13'7" x 9'2" (4.14m x 2.81m) and a garden shed.
