Oakmoor Cottage

A superb traditional Grade II Listed Devon residence occupying a readily accessible position with beautiful large gardens, double garage, workshop and useful outbuilding with annexe potential. In all, about 1.33 Acres

Oakmoor Cottage represents a most attractive and well situated country house enjoying an outstanding and readily accessible position in the popular hamlet known as Ash Mill. The property which is Grade II Listed is of rendered and colour washed elevations beneath a cedar shingle tiled roof and provides a substantial and well appointed four bedroomed character family home which has been the subject of much refurbishment in recent years by the present vendors. We believe the original cottage in part dates back to the early 18th century with a 19th century addition, together with a modern block and rendered extension which was completed approximately 27 years ago. The current owners have also had plans drawn up to convert the double garage in to one bedroomed ancillary accommodation.
The spacious accommodation is entered through an entrance hall/office area off which is situated a useful shower room with wide shower cubicle. The hallway continues through to the well appointed kitchen/breakfast room with stable door to the front, attractive Island complete with wine chiller and breakfast bar, built-in ceramic hob, ovens and fridge and finished with an attractive slate effect tiled floor. A utility room contains a cloakroom, wall mounted oil fired Grant boiler providing domestic hot water and the central heating system with space and plumbing for a washing machine, dish washer and space for fridge/freezer. Adjoining the kitchen is a lovely large dual aspect dining room with patio doors opening onto the gardens and stairs to first floor. Returning to the hallway a door leads into the dual aspect living room with exposed beams, inglenook style fireplace with a woodburner, under stairs storage cupboard and a further door with stairs rising to first floor.
The first floor provides a master bedroom enjoying views over the gardens with built-in wardrobe cupboards and an En-Suite Cloakroom. Three further double bedrooms with a smartly appointed Jack and Jill family bathroom contains a free standing bath and separate shower and is accessed via bedroom 2 and 4. From bedroom 4/study, secondary stairs lead to the dining room.
For approximate room dimensions and layout please refer to the enclosed floorplan.

The property enjoys an attractive position within the unspoilt Devon hamlet known as Ash Mill, just 5 miles from the nearby town of South Molton, which provides a useful range of everyday shopping, banking and scholastic services, whilst Barnstaple to the west affords a more extensive range of commercial, educational and recreational facilities, befitting those of an important regional and administrative centre. There are excellent road and rail communications with the A361 North Devon trunk route providing an easy link to Tiverton and Junction 27 of the M5 motorway, with main line rail links available at Tiverton Parkway (London Paddington approx. 2 hours).
The cathedral city and county town of Exeter is about 30 miles away, with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.
The southern boundary of the Exmoor National Park lies approximately 5 miles to the north offering beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths and the stunning North Devon coastline. To the west are the popular sandy beaches of Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe.

The property is set well back from the road and approached via a private gated and sweeping entrance driveway flanked by attractive flower and shrub bed borders. Adjacent to the entrance drive is a good sized Double Garage with electric garage door, concrete floor, power and light connected and a useful large Store/Workshop. Additional gated area provides further parking and turning space, while a gate leads out onto the large adjoining gardens.
Enclosed by mature hedgerow and fence boundaries, the established gardens and grounds are a particularly attractive feature of the property, laid mainly to lawn with mature shrubs and trees, containing a pretty natural Pond and bordering a small stream to one side. Also contained within the gardens is a separate enclosed chicken run, raised vegetable beds, greenhouse and large polytunnel. Situated to the side of the dwelling is a stone and slate roofed detached outbuilding with first floor and power and light connected. Additional front garden area with a variety of mature trees.
Adjoining the rear and side elevations is a lovely paved patio sitting out area with feature Well and working pump, which also feeds into the natural pond. Outside power points and outside tap.
In all, Oakmoor Cottage extends to about 1.33 Acres.
