Underhill Cottage enjoys the very best of both worlds - the property is set a valley, with a very country feel to the position and yet you can walk into the village to benefit from day to day shopping at the Spar and Co-op, there is a county primary school, a butchers, a choice of public houses and a range of further independent businesses can be found in this self-contained village. There are regular buses from the village to Bude and into North Devon, and the popular coastal resort of Bude is the closest town, just 5 miles to the south.
Bude features the local comprehensive school, a choice of supermarkets, 2 sandy beaches and superb cliff top walks. The cottage is located close to the national trust owned Coombe Valley and the beach at Sandymouth, and is just across the road from Kilkhampton Common which is a 20 acre nature reserve, all of which are fantastic for dog walking or walking in general.
The driveway is bordered by mature shrubs and hydrangeas, and opens into an ample parking area providing access to the double garage and additional workshop. Located opposite is an external utility room, with a few steps upto the entrance to the cottage.
The centrepiece to the accommodation is the generous and characterful lounge/dining room. The room features an impressive fireplace, and has been extended in years gone by which has created a lovely dining area, with a southerly aspect to enjoy the sun for the bulk of the day. The kitchen is fitted with a range of matching wall and base units and built in appliances with room for a breakfasting table. Generally, the cottage needs some modernisation with the window/door in the dining area in need of replacement.
To the first floor are two double bedrooms with storage and good views to the gardens and grounds and a family bathroom. Warmth is supplied by LP gas central heating with a new (fitted Sept 24) Worcester boiler.
The main selling feature to Underhill Cottage are the well stocked, interesting gardens - and it really is a gardeners garden! The productive kitchen garden has a greenhouse, raised beds and has a brook running through providing easy access to water for growing. There is a mass of spring bulbs and primroses with a myriad of paths leading up the hill to an area of woodland. The garden is fully stocked with mature, colourful shrubs and perennials throughout. There is a further brook running along the west boundary which in turn feeds the pond in the lower part of the garden and all the gardens are a real haven for wildlife.
On the opposite side of the lane is a further acre of grounds, with a lawn area leading down to a naturally fed pond, with an orchard to the very bottom with a variety of fruit trees.
