Westleigh, Nr Bideford & Instow

There is something quietly romantic about Myrtle Cottage a home whose story spans generations. Once owned by the current owner`s great grandfather, the cottage held a special place in the family`s history.

Years later, through a chance meeting, the opportunity arose to bring the cottage back into the family fold a moment that ultimately led to its careful and considered revival.

At the time of its reacquisition the property required complete renovation, yet the potential was clear. Since then, having been near derelict, Myrtle Cottage has undergone a sympathetic & tasteful programme of refurbishment and extension, thoughtfully blending modern comfort with the warmth and charm befitting a village cottage.

The accommodation is well-balanced and versatile. A welcoming lounge with feature fireplace provides a cosy focal point to the home, while a separate dining room offers an ideal setting for family gatherings or entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast room forms the practical heart of the home and is complemented by a utility room and ground floor WC.

A further study/bedroom 4 adds flexibility to the ground floor and serves as an ideal fourth bedroom, depending on individual needs.

To the first floor there are three comfortable bedrooms (each with ample space for a double bed and furniture), including a particularly appealing principal bedroom with en-suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe, while a well-appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

The property benefits from uPVC double glazing and gas-fired central heating, ensuring comfort throughout the year.

The cottage enjoys a sunny aspect side garden, with it`s south west facing aspect creating a pleasant, manageable outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining.

A particularly valuable feature especially within this close-knit village environment is the inclusion of a garage together with off-road parking, a commodity not always readily available in such settings.
