Buckland Brewer, Bideford, Devon, EX39

A unique opportunity to purchase two beautiful homes for the price of one! The Old Blacksmiths is a charming four bedroom detached residence with three reception rooms whilst Verbena Cottage is a sympathetically renovated three bedroom detached home with off street parking.

The Old Blacksmiths charms from the very beginning. Approaching the home and through the pretty gated entrance you are immediately struck by how attractive and beautifully maintained the home and gardens are. Entering the home it continues to impress with three reception rooms, a living room with attractive feature fireplace, home study and dining room all of which are flooded with natural light. The kitchen/breakfast room has a charming appeal and the home also has a separate utility room and a wine store/pantry store. Two separate staircases lead to the first floor which continues to impress with four double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a dressing room. All of the bedrooms benefit from views over the garden and have southerly aspect windows which again, fills the home with natural light. Verbena Cottage has a beautiful feel to it, you can really tell that great care and love has been put into the renovations by the current owner. The cottage has an open plan living space which stretches 24ft in length. The kitchen is of a contemporary design and has attractive splash backing and integrated oven with hob above. Three double bedrooms upstairs with a bathroom and a shower room (master en-suite) completes the tour.

The configuration of the two homes would really suit two families looking for multi-generational living or alternatively someone looking to have an additional income stream through either a holiday let, or even a permanent let.

The two homes are currently joined by a large garden, predominantly laid to lawn.
