Occupying a peaceful rural location in the North Devon hamlet of Lower Loxhore is this beautifully presented 4 Bedroom detached period home offering exceptional privacy, character features and idyllic outdoor space. This charming stone-built cottage enjoys a wonderful outlook over the valley and woodland beyond, providing a true sense of seclusion with no immediate neighbours. Thoughtfully maintained and deceptively spacious, the property blends timeless charm with modern comforts, making it ideal for families, home workers or those seeking a lifestyle escape with excellent connections.
A stable door opens into the heart of the home - a generous Kitchen / Dining Room with beamed ceilings and a comprehensive range of fitted units and integrated appliances including a Rangemaster oven, dishwasher and fridge / freezer. A door leads through to a practical Utility Room with further storage, space for laundry appliances and direct access to the garden.
The spacious Sitting Room enjoys twin windows to the front framing stunning countryside views and is centred around a large inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove and original bread oven. Off the living room is a Study with rear aspect windows and internal access to the adjoining Garage, which offers excellent potential for conversion (subject to planning) to additional living space, a workshop or home office.
Upstairs, a central Landing gives access to 4 generously proportioned Bedrooms, 3 of which enjoy wonderful open views across the valley. The Principal Bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and a modern En-Suite Shower Room, while Bedroom 2 also includes built-in storage and an En-Suite. The remaining Bedrooms (including a dual aspect fourth room) provide excellent flexibility as guest rooms, children’s rooms or further work-from-home spaces. A well-appointed Family Bathroom with panelled bath and shower completes the first floor, along with additional built-in storage.
Externally, the property sits within generous gardens on all sides. To one side is a lawned garden with colourful shrubs, greenhouse and a pathway leading to a decked seating area. There are also sloped lawned gardens on the opposite side of the house with a raised seating area overlooking the surrounding greenery. There are 2 driveways providing ample off-road parking, as well as the Attached Garage with power and light.
This truly unique 4 Bedroom home is set in one of North Devon’s most scenic spots - a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful, well-appointed property with generous outdoor space, scope for further enhancement and direct access to countryside living.
