3 bedroom cottage for sale
Sanctuary Gate Cottage, Winkleigh
£585,000
 
 
     
    Sanctuary Gate, believed originally to be two farm workers cottages dating back some 300 years ago. Steeped in history and retaining a wealth of character, the current vendors present their home beautifully and have done a wonderful job in restoring the cottages original features. Looking to escape the hustle & bustle of the southeast circa ten years ago they immediately knew that this delightful rural situation was what they needed. This attractive stone & cob constructed cottage is well balanced measuring approximately 141 square meters, providing three double bedrooms, multiple reception rooms (both with inglenook fireplaces with inset Woodwarm multi fuel stoves) for those cosy evenings in. Ground floor which benefits solid oak flooring from the dining room, continued into the inner hall, sitting room and snug/sun room is a tasteful update. The useful utility area & WC facilities complete entrance level. To truly appreciate this fine example of a period cottage and its picturesque location then viewings are a must.

    Property Location
    Iddesleigh is a village and civil parish in the county of Devon, England. The settlement has ancient origins and is listed in the Domesday Book. The village lies on the B3217 road, roughly central in its parish of around 2,900 acres, about 8 miles north of the town of Okehampton. This rural location will suit those seeking peace & quiet while enjoying the far reaching views on offer, unique in that other desirable locations such as Sidmouth, Exmouth, Bude and Bideford are all reachable by car within the hour.
    Situation & Amenities
    Sanctuary Gate occupies a prominent position within the Okment Valley, now known as War Horse Valley after the popular film and local author, situated along this minor country lane, a no trough road location. In the heart of the village is the well known and locally owned Duke Of York Inn, a real asset for this particularly unspoilt village. The neighbouring small towns of Winkleigh, Hatherleigh and North Tawton are within close proximity acting as alternatives to the larger town of Okehampton. The latter benefits three super markets to include a Waitrose, secondary & primary education levels and two train stations, hourly service, a direct line to the Cathedral City of Exeter.
