This enchanting detached cottage, with origins dating back to the 1800s, is set in a picturesque roadside location, offering sweeping views over Worthygate Woods, the rugged North Devon coastline and Lundy Island on the horizon.
The current owner has enhanced the property by adding a Kitchen / Breakfast Room extension, renewing the roof and replacing several windows. The cottage retains its historic charm with double-fronted, colour washed stone elevations beneath a recently updated slate tiled roof, while modern upgrades like solar panels provide energy efficiency. All of the windows have been replaced, all of the front windows and the Kitchen windows are triple glazed and all of the rear windows are double glazed. Despite its modest exterior, the home offers surprisingly spacious interiors.
Inside, the property features several inviting Reception Rooms, including a newly added Kitchen / Breakfast Room that opens onto the garden, a cosy Sitting Room, a formal Dining Room and a functional Utility Room. Upstairs, there are 2 generously sized Bedroom and a smaller Bedroom / Office. The Master Bedroom boasts an En-Suite Shower Room, and a Family Bathroom serves the remaining Bedrooms.
Surrounding the cottage are beautifully landscaped gardens that span approximately one third of an acre. The grounds are filled with mature trees, ornamental shrubs and vibrant flower beds, offering a serene retreat. Several seating areas, including a covered space at the rear, provide perfect spots to relax, whether it’s for morning coffee or watching the stunning sunsets. The garden also includes a picturesque pond and a large timber Summerhouse with a tiled roof.
The property offers parking for 3-4 vehicles and includes a Detached Workshop, partially converted into a Studio. This versatile space can serve as a home office, artist’s studio or additional garaging. Alternatively, the Studio could be transformed into a spacious annex or holiday accommodation, subject to planning permission.
This delightful cottage combines the charm of its historical roots with modern conveniences, all set in a tranquil and scenic North Devon location.
Horns Cross is a small village in the parish of Parkham situated west of Bideford along the Atlantic Highway (A39). It shares local amenities with nearby Bucks Cross, Parkham, Hartland, Woolsery and Bideford.
You are well catered for with historic pubs like The Coach & Horses Inn and the Hoops Inn, a 13th century thatched inn believed to have been the haunt of smugglers and ancient mariners such as Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Richard Grenville. This tiny hamlet, straddling the boundary between the parishes of Alwington and Parkham, branches out from the crossroads on the A39 Atlantic Highway perfectly positioned midway between Bideford and the famous fishing village of Clovelly. To the north lies the Atlantic Heritage Coast with spectacular views over Bideford Bay whilst to the south lies acres upon acres of farmland and unspoilt countryside, the landscape changing with the seasons.
Sitting astride the Atlantic Highway (A39), Horns Cross is well served by the main feeder route across the region leading to Wadebridge in Cornwall to the south-west and to the M5 by Tiverton in the east. A bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Bideford, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde, Okehampton, Holsworthy, Great Torrington, Hartland and Ilfracombe.
Directions
From Bideford proceed along the A39 towards Bude and continue through Horns Cross and past the The Hoops Inn on your right hand side. A mile after passing The Hoops Inn, the driveway to Hedgehog Cottage will located on your left hand side.
