Features and description
- Leasehold
Set in the heart of the beautiful East Devon countryside between the coastal towns of Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton, 'Thorntree Cottage' is a 2 bedroom, single storey cottage forming part of a unique courtyard development of converted farm buildings. The property has the use of extensive communal gardens and its own private and enclosed south-facing garden with superb views of the surrounding countryside from each room.
Planning permission has recently been approved to convert the existing loft space to provide 1 additional bedroom, living space and en-suite, along with a restricted height storeroom. To facilitate this loft conversion the proposal will place a new gable end to the front southern elevation along with an enlarged porchway sited on the same southern elevation. Then to the side eastern elevation provide a
feature gable end window which will utilise the impressive views towards the coast near Ladram Bay and on the rear North elevation a number of roof lights to service the proposed new bedroom and en-suite.
The property is a superb main residence, but would also appeal to those looking for a unique holiday home and one which already has an established client portfolio for holiday lets.
The accommodation currently comprises:
* 4 steps to Entrance Porch
* Open Plan Living Space
* Living Area
* Dining Area
* Kitchen
* Bedroom One
* Bedroom Two
* Bathroom.
* Gas fired central heating
* Enclosed front garden
* Private parking for 2 cars
* All main services are connected

Coastal and estuary cruises operate from the dock and charter boats are available for fishing trips.
