Description Shady Combe Cottage probably dates from the 18th Century with more recent sympathetic extensions meaning it retains the charm of a character cottage but with 6 bedrooms and 4 reception rooms it provides spacious accommodation over two levels.

This wonderful country home represents a fine lifestyle investment. Set in gardens measuring almost half an acre with a paddock, immediately opposite the house, extending to about three quarters of an acre intersected by a stream. A further level paddock of an acre and a half is adjacent whilst a short walk across open moorland lies a third paddock, also one and a half acres, with a field shelter and securely ring fenced by a Devon bank. Accommodation Approached from a quiet country lane, a brick paved parking area leads to a longitudinal double garage with electric door and workshop area. A path sweeps around the house to the rear where a covered porch area provides the perfect place to kick off your muddy boots. Crossing the threshold you are warmly greeted by a spacious entrance hall with doors to the principal reception rooms. To the rear is a pretty room currently used as a snug with wood burning stove and windows overlooking the gardens. In addition there is a large double reception room again with wood burning stove and picture windows which give access to the pretty gardens. Across a passageway is the formal dining room which leads to the large kitchen with Aga and on to the utility room.

Upstairs there are six bedrooms sharing two bathrooms. The master bedroom is particularly impressive with its own en-suite facilities.
