We are absolutely delighted to offer to the market 'Lapwing Cottage', a delightful and quintessential Devon thatched cottage which is offered in first class order and is located in a desirable hamlet close to the beach.

This will suit as a very comfortable family home or as a welcoming holiday home; always a wonderful place to stay and get away from the rigours of life.

An internal viewing is absolutely essential to appreciate the charm and character which oozes from every room. The modern fittings and decor compliment and combine well with the character features so making this a really fabulous, oil centrally heated home. There are exposed beams to virtually every room, an inglenook fireplace with bread oven in the sitting room, latch doors, cottage style windows and slate flagstone style floors downstairs.

The accommodation flows well with an entrance storm porch and hall. There is a useful store/ lobby, ideal to 'de boot' when you come in on a rainy day. This leads to the tiled and bright ground floor shower room. The triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room is superb and beautifully fitted with bevelled slate work tops with butler sink. The central island doubles as a breakfast bar with a vertical beam feature complimenting the exposed ceiling beams. The spacious sitting room is a lovely space to unwind and has an inglenook fireplace with a bread oven. There is a rear lobby and a latch door which opens to the stairs to the first floor. Here there are 3 bedrooms with beamed ceilings and a great bathroom with a free standing slipper bath which has claw and ball style feet.

There is unrestricted parking immediately to the front of the cottage, whilst to the right hand side, double gates open into an area ideal for al fresco dining as there is a built in seat. This has brick base and could also be a car space. Slate steps take you up to the main garden which offers a good degree of privacy and is laid to lawn with a concrete base to one corner for a shed. There are shrubs, plants and 2 young silver birch trees.

This cottage has been really loved and looked after by the present owners. We unhesitatingly recommend a viewing so the full feel and nature of the property can be fully appreciated. Furthermore, rarely does property come available in this hamlet - more reason to view early and so avoid disappointment.
