Read the full agent description

Nestled in the serene North Devon countryside, this enchanting 2 Bedroom cottage, complete with a detached 1 Bedroom annexe, perfectly combines rustic charm with modern comfort, set within beautifully landscaped grounds.

Positioned on a third-of-an-acre plot, the property enjoys complete privacy and the tranquillity of mature gardens, creating a peaceful retreat that flourishes throughout the seasons. The detached annexe, thoughtfully converted from a former garage, offers flexible accommodation with endless possibilities - ideal for guests, extended family, dual occupancy, working from home, or even as a potential Airbnb or rental income stream.

Inside, the cottage blends classic cottage character with contemporary style. The modern Kitchen is a standout feature, fully fitted with high quality appliances, abundant storage, and elegant countertops - a space designed for both culinary creativity and social gatherings. Adjacent to the kitchen, the cosy Sitting Room serves as the heart of the home, offering a welcoming environment for quiet evenings or entertaining friends. The generous Conservatory extends the living space, bathing the room in natural light while framing uninterrupted views of the rear garden - a perfect spot for morning coffee, reading, or simply enjoying the surrounding countryside.

Upstairs, 2 spacious double Bedrooms capture picturesque rural views, while the Family Bathroom combines practicality and comfort with a bathtub, separate shower, WC and basin.

The gardens are a highlight, spanning approximately a third-of-an-acre and featuring mature trees, colourful borders and manicured lawns - ideal for outdoor entertaining, leisurely afternoons, or simply enjoying the peace of a rural setting.

Field Cottage is situated in an exceptional rural position with very few immediate neighbours. It lies within the parish comprising the 3 hamlets of Kentisbury, Kentisbury Ford and Patchole, offering a welcoming local community with a primary school, village hall, and parish church, while still providing easy access to Barnstaple and the surrounding countryside.
