3 Bed Cottage in Bickington

About this property

This remarkable Grade II-listed property offers easy access to the host of popular towns, villages and beaches situated around the Taw/Torridge Estuary. Dog-friendly, boasting a spacious interior with original features, a games snug, private rear garden and a remote-controlled turntable for parking, it is perfect for families or groups of friends who love long days in and out.

Entering through the original vestibule with high ceilings, find yourself in the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. This area is blessed with underfloor heating and plenty of natural light which pours in through lancet windows and onto a mix of original features and contemporary furnishings. A handy utility room is located off the kitchen, and the ground floor is also home to the rear hallway, where you’ll find a bathroom, two super-king-size bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room. A bespoke staircase - made using the church’s original seating - takes you up onto a mezzanine, home to a games snug, and where you can enjoy a totally new perspective on the area below. Stairs in the ground floor rear hallway take you up to a dreamy en-suite super-king-sized bedroom. Bi-fold doors at the end of the rear hallway lead out into the west-facing private garden, a long and narrow stretch of lawn home to an outside fireplace. Everyone will want to see the remote-controlled parking turntable at the front of the chapel in action.

The chapel sits within 11 miles of the golden sands of Saunton Sands, Westward Ho! and Croyde, home to some of the biggest waves and best water sports in Devon. The bustling towns of Barnstaple (3 miles) and South Molton (13.5 miles) offer an array of emmenties, including pannier markets. The historic surroundings of Arlington Court (10 miles) also offer a cracking family day out.
