Owning this cottage is owning part of Devon’s rich history. In fact, this is the second time the current Vendor has owned it in the past 20 years!

There is a cobbled area at the front to either side of the thatched porch which provides for parking. This Grade ll listed detached cottage offers painted elevations over principally cob all under a thatched roof which was redone at the front and ridge about 2 years ago. There are many features throughout this delightful home and stepping though the fine front door you realise you are in something quite special. One of the biggest surprises is the size of the reception area now open plan and forming both a sitting room and dining room at a slight difference in height with both allowing for big furniture, a feature not often found in cottages.

Without doubt a major feature and aptly described in the Official Listing of Historic England is in their words “a very large open fireplace virtually the width of the room with roughly chamfered wooden lintel and granite jamb to the left”. A modern style coal effect stove sits proudly within. Also mentioned in the listing is the bench seat set against the rear wall of the sitting room beside the stable door that leads to the rear porch. The dining room is a delightful area and currently set up with a well proportioned refectory table and side board which shows the available space. The kitchen has a bespoke designed and made range of units with extensive wood work top with a large butler sink with wooden draining alongside. A 4 ring electric hob with extractor and light above and inset oven are also in situ. There is a free standing dresser sat upon the quarry tiled floor that the Vendor will be including in the sale. There is appliance space for a larder style fridge freeze and washing machine. Rounding off the accommodation on the ground floor is a bedroom with en suite bathroom.

A straight run of stairs lead from the kitchen to a galleried landing which has a magnificent wide plank flooring. (At the top of the stairs there is reduced head height due to the slope of the roof). On this floor are two double bedrooms (one with low door height), a single bedroom with built in cupboards and a good sized shower room with corner shower, pedestal wash hand basin, WC and linen cupboard with hot water tank.

Outside

Attached on one end of the cottage and subject to planning more accommodation could be created is a store room accessed from both the front and back which provides very useful storage for surfboards, long boards, canoes etc.

Garden
This is simply laid out being on three levels at the back enjoying predominantly an east and southern aspect a small area of lawn, stocked beds with Camelia, rambling rose, clematis, rosemary, spring bulbs and such. On the top level is a summer house, garden store and gravel seating area ideal for whiling away the moments!
Leave Greta Torrington via the A386 towards signed Okehampton and at the bottom of the hill turn left on to the A3124 to Exeter and RHS Rosemoor. Continue for about 14 miles turning right at the T junction onto the A3072 signed Jacobstowe/Samford Courtenay. At the roundabout by the New Inn pub turn right into the village and first left into Chapple Lane where the property will be found on the left hand side just passed the drive to the cottages behind.

From Exeter head South via the M5 and take the A30 heading towards Cornwall and Launceston leaving at the Whiddon Down (A382) junction after about 14 miles. Turn right onto the A 3124 towards Winkleigh/Torrington turning left at the cross roads onto the A3072. Continue on the A3073 until reaching the roundabout by the New Inn pub turn right into the village and first left into Chapple Lane where the property will be found on the left hand side just passed the drive to the cottages behind.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 23, 2021

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 23, 2021

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on July 8, 2011 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
