Property description
Bluebell Cottage is a most attractive semi-detached barn conversion situated at the end of a shared private drive on a small but select development of similar properties in an outstanding peaceful semi rural location in the heart of Mid Devon. The property was converted to a high standard approximately seven years ago and is of traditional stone construction under a slate roof with stained wood double glazed windows throughout. Internally the property offers well laid out and attractively presented family accommodation including, on the ground floor, a large well fitted Kitchen/Dining Room, a comfortable Sitting Room with fireplace, and a downstairs Cloakroom. On the first floor there is a Master Bedroom with En-Suite Shower Room, two further bedrooms and a Bathroom. Bluebell Cottage also benefits from many original period features including vaulted ceilings and exposed 'A' frames on the first floor, a traditional stone fire place in the Sitting Room housing a multi-fuel stove, and stained wood board doors throughout. Modern additions include oil-fired central heating and attractive Kitchen and Bathroom suites. Outside and to the front of the property there is off-road parking for three cars, allowing access to the enclosed garden which is mainly laid to lawn and bordered by wooden post and rail fencing. At the rear of the property there is a shared gravelled garden which allows roof top views down the Hayne Valley.
