Higher Well Cottage, Kingsbridge, TQ7 4PS

Description Making its debut to the market, Higher Well Cottage is a rare and enchanting opportunity to acquire a beautifully converted outbuilding, once forming part of Higher Well House.

This bungalow style home offers versatile and well proportioned accommodation, set within grounds extending to approximately 1 acre.

Nestled in a tranquil and hidden setting, the property is flooded with natural light and enjoys far reaching views across rolling countryside, stretching from Bolt Head round to Hoist Point and out to sea.

Tucked away down a private driveway, the property opens into a peaceful oasis surrounded by mature, level gardens and a wraparound landscape of trees, flowering shrubs and secluded seating areas, perfect for alfresco dining and relaxation.

A welcoming entrance sun room draws you into the heart of the home, filling the space with natural light and setting the tone throughout.

The large L-shaped kitchen and dining area is comprehensively fitted with stylish cabinetry and integral appliances, offering ample space for both everyday living and entertaining.

A cosy, triple-aspect snug provides an ideal place to unwind, complete with a wood burning stove and delightful views over the gardens, surrounding countryside and out to sea.

Along the hall, a practical utility room offers generous storage, while a modern shower room with WC adds convenience.

A further spacious reception room, currently used as a ground floor bedroom, provides flexibility to suit a variety of requirements.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, each enjoying sweeping countryside and sea views.

The principal bedroom benefits from a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom, creating a peaceful retreat, while a separate WC serves the second bedroom and guests.

The gardens are a particular feature of the property, being level and well sheltered, and thoughtfully planted with a wide variety of mature trees and shrubs.

There are numerous areas to sit and enjoy the surroundings, each offering a different perspective of the grounds and views beyond.

The property also benefits from a well, which could be utilised for watering the garden.

In addition, there are two separate units on site, both connected to services, offering excellent potential for ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents.

A large detached outbuilding provides further storage or workshop space, complemented by two timber garden sheds, a greenhouse and an area suitable for a productive vegetable garden.

The private driveway leads to a parking area and carport, ensuring both practicality and privacy.

From many vantage points, the property enjoys a wide panorama of open skies and coastal views, with particularly spectacular sunsets throughout the year.
