Victoria Cottage

An excellent opportunity to acquire a quality Grade II listed character cottage which occupies a quiet tucked away position within this choice coastal village yet only a few minutes walk from the bustling centre. Currently being offered as a very successful holiday home and the high grade accommodation accounts for the excellent income. An internal viewing is therefore strongly recommended to fully appreciate this rare opportunity.
Victoria Cottage is a classic Croyde property being presented in first class order and which demands a full viewing not only to appreciate the high grade accommodation but also the splendid location in which the property sits.
Although the cottage stands in a very quiet tucked away position just off St Mary's Road, the bustle of the village centre is only a few minutes walk away. One minute you can literally be enjoying a glass of wine in the privacy and sunshine of the patio garden then only moments later you can be enjoying a good meal in any of the nearby restaurants in the village. Further more, access to the region's most renowned surfing beaches is also extremely convenient as are all the local shops and services.
The very well presented Grade II listed property offers an excellent mix of character and contemporary fittings and is therefore ideal for use as a second home and Croyde is now one of the country's major holiday destinations. This is clearly reflected in the excellent income that the current vendors accrue from the holiday market. The light and spacious accommodation comprises an 18' double aspect living room with attractive fireplace and oak flooring. The extremely well fitted kitchen boasts granite work surfaces and there is excellent use of light including integral and underlighting wall cupboards and underlighting to window pelmets and to the kickboards below the base units. From the kitchen there is a fully tiled shower room. To the first floor there are two charming bedrooms and a further tiled shower room. There is the benefit of LPG gas central heating and of course a private attractive patio garden with a dedicated car parking space. Here there is an unusual central stone feature depicting that of the face of an old gentleman but we are unsure of the stone's significance.
Croyde is a charming village with a good choice of public houses and restaurants, post office and general store and is situated approximately 5 miles to the west of Braunton which is one of the country's largest villages. Here a wide range of amenities can be found and Barnstaple, the regional centre of North Devon, is a further 5 miles from Braunton. Here there is access to the North Devon link road which offers an easy connection to the M5 motorway and also Exeter in the south via the Tarka Trainline. Victoria Cottage is indeed an excellent proposition for investment purchasers to buy a high grade holiday home which can be purchased with the minimum of delay and expense.
