Property description

This immaculate detached cottage has been lovingly and sympathetically restored and modernised by our vendors over their eighteen years of ownership. We are told that the original cottage has been on the site for around three hundred years. Enjoying an easy to access roadside position and fine far reaching countryside views towards the peaks of Dartmoor in contrast to a short drive to the North Cornwall beaches.

Inside, the character features throughout this pretty white painted, rendered, stone built cottage are numerous. They include original slate floors in the entrance hall and formal dining room which also boasts an inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove set on a slate hearth. Most of the rooms and corridors also have exposed wooden or painted beams, in general the home is light and airy and the windows are double glazed. The heating and hot water is generated by an oil fired Heritage Range cooker situated within the galley style kitchen where a bespoke range of oak fronted cupboards and a double butler style sink have been installed below a dark granite working surface. An integral dishwasher, fridge freezer and double electric hob are to be included within the sale. There is also a utility room that benefits from more storage cupboards and has plumbing in place for a washing machine. A large, light and bright sitting room also enjoys a fireplace with woodburning stove providing extra seasonal heat. The ground floor also hosts a double size bedroom along with a study that could also be used as bedroom five if required. These rooms are served by a modern shower room.

Upstairs, there are a further three bedrooms, all enjoying bespoke built-in wardrobes and the use of a modern tiled bathroom that has the luxury of a large bath positioned below a picture window that offers far reaching countryside views towards Dartmoor National park in Devon.

Outside, the garden spans approximately half an acre, its borders are divided from farm rolling farmland by stock proof fencing and hedgerow. The lawn is mainly level with a pond and water feature. There is a sheltered paved patio area and log store. Parking is provided by a generous paved drive and a double size garage with electric roller doors. There is a useful detached workshop/tool shed and a running natural small leat runs between the property and its closest neighbours. A viewing is highly recommended.

Higher Fonston Cottage is situated in between the villages of Warbstow which offers a County Primary School and Village centre and Canworthy Water with a Methodist Chapel, in the heart of North Cornwall. The neighbouring village of Wainhouse Corner offers a Public House, Petrol Station and Shop. The village is set betwixt the popular coastal resort of Bude and the old market town of Launceston, both of which offer a wide range of shopping, commercial, educational and recreational facilities. Launceston itself lies alongside the main A30 trunk road giving access to Truro and West Cornwall in one direction and Exeter and beyond in the opposite direction.

For those seeking more extensive amenities both the Cathedral City of Exeter and Continental Ferry port of Plymouth can be reached. The rugged North Cornish coast with its cliff top walks and sandy beaches is approximately seven miles from the property.
