Situated in the desirable village of North Molton, 1 Penswell Cottages is a charming 2 Bedroom semi-detached period home combining character features with practical living space. With an enclosed front garden, private rear courtyard and a particularly useful Garage / Workshop, the cottage has plenty to offer.
A pathway through the front garden leads to an enclosed Porch and into the Living / Dining Room. Exposed beams and a large stone fireplace with a recently installed wood burning stove give this room its character. Glazed double doors open into the Kitchen which is fitted with a range of wall and base units, a stainless steel sink, built-in electric oven and hob and space for a washing machine. A serving hatch connects the two rooms, while a door provides access to the rear courtyard.
On the first floor are 2 Bedrooms and a well-appointed Bathroom with a modern suite. Bedroom 1 enjoys far-reaching views over the neighbouring farmland and distant hills and includes a generous recess and an airing cupboard. Bedroom 2 would make a small double or a good sized single room and looks out over elevated neighbouring properties and the church tower beyond.
The level front garden is enclosed by attractive stone walling and planted with established shrubs. To the rear, the private paved courtyard provides an easy-to-maintain outdoor space.
Set back from the road alongside the front garden, the garage/workshop measures approximately 19'7" x 8'9". This extended single garage is semi-detached, with the adjoining garage belonging to a neighbouring property, and benefits from power, lighting, overhead storage and a recently installed electric roller door.
