Tucked away in the picturesque location of Higher Slade, this stunning property feels like something pulled straight from a storybook. Charming on the outside and equally enchanting within, this home offers the perfect blend of traditional character and flexible family living.
Stepping over the threshold into the quaint entrance porch, you are welcomed into the initial reception room. Currently arranged as a formal dining room, this atmospheric space centres around an inviting inglenook fire, setting a warm tone for the rest of the home. To the left lies the living room, a spacious area that easily accommodates a large suite while maintaining a cosy feel, featuring traditional exposed beams and a beautiful inglenook fireplace that serves as the room's focal point.
Toward the rear of the ground floor, you will find a versatile small playroom which would serve equally well as a fantastic home office, leading through to the main downstairs bathroom, a substantial four-piece suite complete with a cubicle shower, bath, WC, and washbasin. Taking a few characterful steps down from the dining room brings you into the cosy country kitchen. Overlooking the garden, this room embodies the cottage feel with matching cabinetry and worktops. A further step down reveals an additional dining and breakfast area, making family living seamless and providing direct access to the outdoor space.
Ascending to the first floor, the character continues with three distinct bedrooms. Bedroom one is a large double with built-in storage cupboards and ample space for freestanding furniture, offering dual-aspect views over the front elevation and the rolling countryside beyond. The second bedroom is another generously proportioned double, while the third is a quirky, charming single room with views to the front. A convenient WC with a washbasin completes the first-floor accommodation.
It is outside, however, where this property truly shines. The garden is a magnificent tiered space, beautifully portioned with mature shrubs and offering magnificent vistas. The current owners have maximised this setting by placing a hot tub at the peak of the garden, allowing for total relaxation while taking in the breathtaking countryside views. For those working from home or seeking a retreat, the grounds include a fantastic outdoor cabin; currently set up as a guest space with a bed and full electricity, it would make an exceptional external office.
The exterior is completed by a patio area perfect for alfresco dining, a lawned area, an outbuilding for storage, and an additional off-road parking space. Despite its rural tranquillity and oil-fired heating indicating a country lifestyle, the cottage is conveniently located just a short distance from Ilfracombe town centre and nearby amenities, ensuring you have the benefits of the countryside without compromising on convenience.
This picturesque home offers fantastic investment opportunities for interested parties, with high yields and showstopping potential.
