Description - Approached over the country road to a private drive, Great Bradley Cottage is set in a breathtaking location, with stunning views from the property over the surrounding Devon countryside. Whilst the property is currently comfortable to live in, there is scope for large renovation and/or development, subject to the necessary consents

Accommodation - The main accommodation consists of a small kitchen and two good sized reception rooms, both with fireplaces. There is also a utility room, bathroom and separate cloakroom on the ground floor. On the first floor are three good sized bedrooms. The principal rooms all enjoy south-facing views over the surrounding countryside.

Outside - The property benefits from useful outbuildings, including a barn (14.4x7.56m) and a garage (7.21x5.13m). To the rear of the property the driveway sweeps around to a large turning and parking area behind the outbuildings.

There are attractive, south-facing gardens to the front of the property.

The bulk of the land consists of one field of productive pasture that slopes down towards the house, which can be accessed from the driveway or from the rear of the property by the parking area.

Natural Burial Ground - The purchase of the property includes the responsibility to continue the working of the burial ground. This will involve arranging grave digging, updating records, honouring and respecting future registered bookings and communicating with families and funeral directors.

Planning permission for the burial ground was originally granted in February 2001. There is a restriction that no more than 15 burials can be carried out in any 12 month period. Whilst there are accounts, the business only produces enough money to cover the costs with some surplus income.

Services - Mains water and electricity. Private drainage.

Viewing - Strictly by appointment with the agents please.

Continue up the hill, passing Frogwell. At the top, after 25 yards the entrance to the property is on the left hand side.
