Heanton Punchardon » North Devon
 With picture postcard looks, this pretty little thatched cottage is situated just to the edge of Braunton in the pretty hamlet of Heanton. Sitting beside the 16th century Church of St Augustine, Monks Cottage retains all the charm and character of its age with low ceilings, steep staircase and heavy oak beams throughout, please mind your head! The front entrance is directly off the lane and opens into a spacious hall with an array of books and lots of room for coats, walking boots or buckets and spades. In the cosy living room comfy sofas surround an inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove and a separate dining room has large oak table and corner seating. The pine kitchen is well equipped and overlooks a lovely sunny cottage garden, private and fully enclosed. As might be expected in a property of this age the family bathroom is on the ground floor. There are three bedrooms upstairs offering flexible sleeping arrangements, a cosy double room and two twin rooms leading one to the other. Braunton is just a few minutes' drive away with a selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. Monks Cottage is a real treat and ideally located for the spectacular beaches or beautiful country walks at any time of year. |
