Tawstock, Barnstaple

No onward chain. Welcome to Bloomfield Cottage – a truly enchanting Grade II Listed thatched period home, believed to date back to the 15th Century, beautifully blending centuries of history with comfortable modern living. Occupying a delightful position within the ever-popular village of Tawstock, approximately 2 miles south of Barnstaple, this charming 2 Bedroom cottage enjoys picturesque countryside views, a recently replaced thatched roof, approximately 0.5 of an acre of tiered land situated opposite the cottage across the country lane, and an abundance of original character throughout.

Stepping inside, you are immediately greeted by the warmth and charm that defines this unique home. The spacious, dual-aspect Living / Dining Room is undoubtedly one of the property's standout features, centred around an impressive inglenook fireplace complete with a wood burning stove and original bread oven, creating a wonderfully cosy focal point. Exposed ceiling beams add to the room's undeniable character, whilst French doors open directly onto the rear garden, allowing natural light to flood the space and creating a seamless connection between the indoors and out.

Complementing the living accommodation is a beautifully presented country-style Kitchen / Breakfast Room, thoughtfully designed to combine traditional charm with modern practicality. Fitted with an attractive range of units complemented by oak effect work surfaces, the kitchen features a Flavel Rangemaster-style cooker, an integrated fridge / freezer, breakfast bar with seating beneath, together with plumbing for both a washing machine and dishwasher. A door provides direct access to the rear patio, making it an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining.

Completing the ground floor is a contemporary Shower Room, fitted with a walk-in shower, close coupled WC and wash hand basin. There is still plumbing in place should any prospective buyer wish to install a bath.

The first floor offers 2 generous double Bedrooms, both enjoying delightful far-reaching rural views and benefiting from wardrobes that are included within the sale. A spacious landing further enhances the sense of space, whilst exposed timbers and an abundance of period features serve as a constant reminder of the cottage's rich heritage.

Outside, Bloomfield Cottage continues to impress. To the front, there is off-road parking for 1 vehicle, whilst the beautifully established rear garden enjoys a high degree of privacy together with breathtaking views across the surrounding North Devon countryside. A paved patio provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining before leading onto an extensive lawn bordered by mature flower and shrub beds. A timber pergola shelters a hot tub, which can be left upon request, creating a wonderful space to relax and unwind whilst enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The garden is further enhanced by a greenhouse and an excellent selection of brick and stone-built stores and workshops, providing an abundance of practical storage, workshop and hobby space.

Positioned opposite the cottage, across the quiet country lane, is a wonderful parcel of tiered land extending to approximately 0.5 of an acre. Enjoying the same delightful rural outlook, this versatile addition offers endless possibilities, whether used for gardening, growing fruit and vegetables, keeping chickens, recreational use or simply enjoying additional outdoor space within this idyllic rural setting.
