Lake Cottage Ladywell, Barnstaple, Devon, EX31 1QS

Character, charm and a fresh new lease of life – this cottage is a beautifully renovated Grade II listed home that brings together the best of traditional cottage living with a stylish, modern finish. Tucked away in the sought-after Ladywell area of Barnstaple, this three bedroom property is full of personality, with a larger than average private garden for this type of property and the added advantage of no upper chain. The renovation has been thoughtfully carried out to celebrate the cottage's original features. Exposed brickwork, natural timber beams and traditional wooden doors create a wonderful sense of character throughout, while fresh décor and contemporary finishes give the home a lovely balance of old and new. The living room is particularly inviting, with its exposed brick fireplace, deep-set sash window and beautiful timber detailing. There's room to create a cosy seating area, making it the perfect spot to unwind. The adjoining kitchen offers a smart contrast, with shaker-style cabinetry, marble-effect worktops, an integrated oven and hob, and plenty of natural light. A door leads outside to the courtyard, with access up to the garden. Arranged over three floors, the bedrooms each have their own appeal. Two well-proportioned bedrooms occupy the first floor, both featuring exposed brickwork and traditional wooden doors that add to the cottage's individuality. The contemporary shower room has been finished with stylish tiling, a walk-in shower, wash basin and WC. The entire top floor is dedicated to the main bedroom, creating a lovely retreat beneath the roofline. Exposed timber beams, brick detailing and roof windows make this a particularly charming room, while the elevated position enjoys pleasant views across the surrounding rooftops. Outside, the private garden is a real bonus for a cottage in such a convenient location. A combination of lawn, paved seating areas and planted borders provides somewhere to relax, enjoy a morning coffee or spend time with friends during the warmer months. There's also a separate utility room, offering useful additional space for laundry and household essentials. Pilton remains one of Barnstaple's most desirable areas, with the town centre, North Devon District Hospital and local amenities all within easy reach. It offers a convenient setting while retaining the character and appeal of this established area. With its Grade II listed charm, complete renovation and delightful private garden, this cottage is ready for its next chapter.
