General Description
Thatch Cottage is a beautiful thatched detached Grade II listed property with a superb location. It is a unique property with immense character. It is approximately 550 years old and is situated in the small historic village of Morebath just south of Exmoor in North Devon. The local towns are Bampton and Dulverton where all amenities are available. Whilst being secluded you have very good access to all transport links. Tiverton Parkway is 15 minutes away giving easy rail access to central London etc. Local and international flights are available from Exeter and Bristol. Taunton and Exeter are 30 and 45 minutes away by road respectively. As you would expect the cottage has a wealth of period features with exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, bread ovens, multi-fuel stoves and window seats. It has oil-fired central heating and is a very warm, comfortable home.
Room Details
There are 3 bedrooms, one double room in the eaves with excellent views over the valley, a master bedroom with a similar south facing view, window seat, walk-in wardrobe and further eaves storage. One smaller single bedroom with window seat overlooking the garden. Downstairs the small hallway leads to 5 rooms. The main living room has an exposed beam, window seat with views over the fields, the original spiral staircase and a large inglenook fireplace with bread-oven and multi-fuel stove. There is a separate study off the main lounge with a door to giving access to the patio at the back of the cottage.
Kitchen Details
The large kitchen has an old pitch pine floor, inglenook fireplace with stove and bread oven, window seat and old latched ledge and brace doors. There is a light airy, extension to the main kitchen giving a further cooking area and this is done in the traditional country style. The back door leads out to the patio area to the south of the cottage. Off the main kitchen and up two steps is the large elevated dining room with old pine flooring, stone fireplace window seat and exposed beam.
Bathroom/s
The bathroom has a cottage style suite with bath, electric shower and heated towel rail.
Garden & Amenities
To the front of the cottage is the very pretty well stocked garden and lawn bounded by an old stone wall. There is hardstanding on the driveway for one car with double gates leading onto the quiet lane. Access to the south side of the cottage is via a small raised patio/sitting area, which in turn leads to another patio/sitting area. Both have exceptional views over the fields and valley. The views and location of the property cannot be overstated.
Additional Details
Outside there is a well-appointed workshop attached to the main house. There is also a separate stone outbuilding with access to the back patio via a small round headed door. The building has heating, toilet, hand wash basin and plumbing for a shower. It is currently used as an office and has separate phone/ISDN lines but can easily be used as a separate accommodation annexe.
