Frithelstock, Great Torrington, Devon, EX38

Driving down the lanes to the cottage, it being only about 2 miles from Frithelstockstone and about 5 from the market town of Great Torrington, you feel as though you are leaving the hustle and bustle of daily life behind. Being the right hand of a pair of character rural semi’s this home has a wonderful feel throughout and the current Vendors have owned it for 23 years during which time they have made many improvements as becomes from owning a property for such a length of time. The two main reception rooms are found at the front, one being a cosy sitting room with window seat and impressive inglenook fireplace with multifuel stove and bread oven, the other being a delightful dining room again with window seat and an inglenook fireplace with bread oven. The kitchen/breakfast room is a delightful room having a range of units on three sides with extensive work surface, butler style sink and space for both a range cooker and table and chairs. Leading off at one end is a former larder and, glazed utility room with door to the outside and work top and space for appliances. At the other end is a generous sized conservatory, with cloakroom off, and doors lead out into a covered loggia which is an ideal spot for al fresco dining.

Stairs off the hall to a split-level landing off which all the bedrooms and bathroom lead. Four are double rooms and a delightful single/cot room. The bathroom is themed in a whitewash wood look with corner bath with shower over, w.c. with hidden cistern and stylish vanity unit with sink with waterfall spout.

Outside
This is a total voyage of discovery as there are 6 outbuildings/barns/former piggery of varying sizes from 47’ in length to a workshop approx. 15’ in length and a number of hard standing areas for vehicles and such. Subject to planning the buildings may present an opportunity for development and of note is the fact there are 4 separate gated entrances into the property and grounds. A static caravan is found behind one of the barns and enjoys a wonderful outlook over the paddock to the rolling countryside beyond.

Besides having a loggia there is a raised decking area to soak up the sun and a formal garden edged by mature hedgerows and rose culminating in an outside bar area and gate connecting to one of the yards and entrances.
