Description:
An interesting & unusual detached 3 bedroom stone cottage with double garage set in 1.44 acres on the fringe of this popular coastal village
SITUATION AND AMENITIES
Situated on the semi rural outskirts of this popular coastal village, yet within a healthy walking distance of the church and local amenities and about 1 mile of the sea front. Combe Martin boasts the longest high street in the country with a variety of shops and amenities including primary school, Post Office, health centre, restaurants and public houses. The village is well known for its rugged cliffs and coves, situated on the dramatic North Devon coastline, set on the western fringes of the Exmoor National Park. A regular bus service provides access to the regional centre of Barnstaple, Braunton, Ilfracombe and Minehead. A little further a field are the safe, sandy, surfing beaches of Croyde, Putsborough, Saunton and Woolacombe. At Barnstaple, which is about 11 miles away, there is access to the North Devon Link Road, which runs through to Tiverton Parkway (London Paddington in about 2 hours) and Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway.
DESCRIPTION
Old Rectory Cottage comprises a charming detached stone cottage understood to have originally been constructed in late Victorian times, with a church as a residence to house visiting locums. The current owner has resided happily there for the last 27 years, and during her tenure has added modern refinements to combine with original character features. Externally, there are inner formal gardens and more informal natural areas, orchard and woodland on generally sloping ground and the property enjoys an elevated position, commanding fine views over the church, and of open countryside.
