Serendipity Cottage is well-named, occupying a prime position in the picture-postcard village of Appledore, a few steps away from its stunning Quayside. Delightful character cottage, deceptively spacious accommodation arranged over two storeys, three double bedrooms, three reception rooms and a private south-facing courtyard. EPC rating C.

Situation - An ancient Saxon settlement, rich in maritime history, Appledore is named in the Domesday Book. Today, it is a thriving Devon community, proud home to an active RNLI station and host to the Annual Book Festival as well as to carnivals, regattas, a farmers’ market, its own brass band, choirs and theatre group, an excellent village school, active church and outstanding local pubs. Its many popular cafe´ and dining options, an award-winning deli, a Post Office, craft and antique shops amply serve locals and visitors alike.

Description - A spacious, well-maintained character cottage, teeming with hidden delights. Serendipity is the decades-long subject for photographers and artists and is rarely passed by without admiring comments. The diminutive front entrance faces the length of quaint Market Street and belies its exceptionally generous interior. The original cob walls and beamed structures have stood the test of time over hundreds of years, snugly protected by the surrounding cottages in a beguiling network of ancient drangs.

Accommodation - The long entrance hall, lined with bookcases, contains doors to the sunny front parlour and to the rear courtyard, before leading into the main dining room. All three living rooms have stone fireplaces and exposed beams. The galley kitchen has fitted units, space for all white goods and a freestanding oven. A kitchen door leads directly into the paved rear courtyard / garden. Upstairs, the three double bedrooms are filled with light, arranged around a small double landing and a shower bathroom with skylight and loft access.

Outside - The front courtyard enjoys full morning sun, which moves over to the rear garden / paved courtyard in the afternoon, ideal for al fresco dining. The large woodshed and outdoor WC comprise additional useful features.
