Nestled in the peaceful countryside of Higher Slade, just outside Ilfracombe and just 10 minutes or so by car from stunning Woolacombe with its world famous surfing beach, this enchanting 3/4-bedroom property is a hidden gem. Surrounded by trees and lush greenery as far as the eye can see, it offers a tranquil escape while still full of character and surprises. The property benefits from on-street parking and a spacious garage. From the charming frontage, steps lead into a welcoming porch, setting the tone for the rest of the home.

The cosy lounge is the first room you encounter, boasting a gorgeous wood burner, a front-facing window, and charming cottage décor that creates an inviting ambience. This room also houses the staircase to the first floor and features handy under-stairs storage. Moving through an archway, you'll find a snug area, currently used as a library/ reading nook. This delightful space is perfect for book lovers or anyone seeking a peaceful corner to relax. Adjacent to the snug, a hidden door reveals the utility area, which conveniently backs onto the garage, making it ideal for handling muddy boots or fishing gear after outdoor adventures. From the snug, steps lead into the heart of the home: the expansive and modern kitchen/dining/living area.

This bright and airy open-plan space perfectly blends modern living with traditional charm. Exposed beams, large windows, and thoughtful plant displays create a relaxing oasis. The kitchen features contemporary fixtures and fittings, a breakfast bar that doubles as a home workspace, and a dining area with space for six. A cosy TV area sits by the large windows and double doors, which open onto the patio, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. Adjacent to this space is a practical boot room, complete with a downstairs W/C and ample storage for coats and footwear.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress.

Bedroom three, while smaller, is still a good-sized room, perfect as a single bedroom or home office. Adding to the home's versatility, a surprise loft room awaits up a few steps. Though not officially classified as a bedroom, this space could be used as a playroom, guest room, or additional storage, complete with a skylight to let in natural light.

The outdoor spaces are truly exceptional and offer something for everyone. A private courtyard at the rear of the property provides a perfect seating area for barbecues, with convenient access to the front of the house.
