Location:
Barnstaple, Devon
Description:
A unique detached period style stone cottage of quality with stylish, contemporary interior in a secluded & tranquil location within Exmoor National Park and close to the sea.
SITUATION AND AMENITIES
In a timeless sylvan setting off a quiet, little used country lane, enjoying complete seclusion and privacy. Much of the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust, and there is a maze of other footpaths allowing one to roam for hours and to take in the beautiful scenery, which the rugged North Devon coastline has to offer. The sea itself is close by, and there is a walk to Woody Bay within about 15 minutes, where the views are simply breathtaking. Exceptional sandy beaches are within a short drive including Croyde and Woolacombe, both popular for surfing. The nearest amenities available are at the twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth, about 5 miles, offering a good range of local shops, primary school, town hall, as well as cafes, inns and restaurants. The regional centre of Barnstaple is about 18 miles and houses the area's main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues. There are live theatres also available at Barnstaple and Ilfracombe. From Barnstaple, the A361 provides access to the M5 at Junction 27, about an hour by car, and the mainline train station at Tiverton Parkway provides regular connections to London and the Midlands. There are active private schools at West Buckland, Tiverton and Taunton.
DESCRIPTION
Woodybrooke Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a totally individual character residence which was actually constructed as new during 2009 to a very high specification. The property presents elevations of stone beneath a slate roof, and boasts extensive use of oak joinery both internally and externally. The property has been designed with ease of maintenance in mind, and is very eco friendly and economical to run. Accordingly, Woodybrooke Cottage was featured in Home Build and Renovation Magazine in May 2011. The property offers versatile accommodation which includes an excellent detached studio, which could possibly be adapted for use as office, occasional bedroom accommodation or linked to the main house, subject to any necessary planning permission. The property is currently operated as a quality holiday home, and is considered ideal as a 2nd home or UK base, if not a principal residence. We understand from the vendor that the property was let over 30 weeks during the course of 2011 and produced a gross income of approximately 25,000 gross. This is certainly one of those properties that needs to be viewed internally to be fully appreciated. The layout of the accommodation with approximate dimensions is more clearly identified on the accompanying floorplan, but comprises;
GROUND FLOOR
COVERED VERANDA
Oak framed Canopy Porch all slate paved below, leading to
ENTRANCE HALL

OUTSIDE
THE GARDENS AND GROUNDS
