This beautifully presented 3 Bedroom cottage occupies a generous corner plot and enjoys a lovely southerly aspect. The exterior is a mix of natural stone and whitewashed render, with climbing greenery that complements its traditional style.

The generous ground floor accommodation includes 2 welcoming Reception Rooms one of which enjoys a log effect gas burner for added cosiness. A proportionately sized Kitchen offers ample space for food preparation and informal dining. Throughout the ground floor, natural exposed wooden floorboards and soft-toned walls deliver a calming, cottage-chic feel. This level is completed by a ground floor Bathroom, which is unusually spacious for a village centre cottage.Upstairs, there are 3 Bedrooms and a WC. The Main Bedroom is especially spacious, while Bedrooms 2 and 3 offer flexibility for family living, guests or home working. With some internal stud walls already in place, such as around the airing cupboard and WC, there is great potential to reconfigure the first floor to suit your lifestyle needs.Set on mains gas, water and sewerage, and with easy access to nearby Instow, Bideford and the Tarka Trail, Candile Cottage combines character, comfort and convenience in one of North Devon's most sought after villages.
