This substantial detached stone-built village cottage with an attached former village forge now serves as a spacious 3-bedroom family home with potential for a home and annex. The property is situated in the village of Swimbridge, approximately 4 miles east of Barnstaple and 8 miles west of South Molton, offering convenient access to regional towns. The village features a popular primary school, a village inn, and a community hall. The property has been updated with double glazing and gas-fired central heating, and new carpets and floor coverings were installed about 4 years ago. The interior features a mix of traditional and modern elements, including an open fireplace in the kitchen and a vaulted sitting room with a wood-burning stove. The property also boasts a range of outdoor spaces, including a covered way, a private enclosed garden, and a concreted rear yard with storage shed. With its unique character and versatile layout, this property offers a wonderful opportunity for a family to put down roots in a charming North Devon village.
