Harris's is a traditional, detached, period, double fronted character cottage offering four bedroom and three reception room accommodation in a stunning rural location just one mile from the picturesque village of Marhamchurch with a school, pub and community shop and approximately 2.5 miles from the sandy, surfing beach at Widemouth Bay and the North Cornish coastal path.

The position is quiet yet accessible and needs to be seen to be fully appreciated with no near neighbours creating a good deal of seclusion, peace and privacy.

Harris's really has a wealth of a cottage and character features throughout the accommodation including a fantastic fireplace, exposed floorboards, ledge and brace wooden doors, beam ceilings and multipane windows to name but a few which have been brought to life and enhanced by my clients within the last 13 years or so of their residence which means the internal and external presentation of the decor is of a high standard and the numerous improvements have brought a new lease of life to the cottage.

On entering the main hallway has stairs leading to the first floor and provides access to the ground floor accommodation. This includes a fabulous and characterful living room with a wood burner set in a fireplace, a study, a modern yet sympathetically extended garden room with double doors opening onto the rear lawn, the kitchen, a dining room plus a utility space and separate WC.
The kitchen is in two distinct areas with one area featuring a double Belfast sink, wooden work surfaces, a built-in range of units and a walk in pantry, with a window looking to the rear. An opening leads through to the larger area of the kitchen, where an oil fired Aga is very much the focal point and has very much a cottage style feel with the central island and all fitted units included in the sale. These two areas plus the dining room and utility have quarry tiled flooring.

The dining room features a beamed ceiling, has shelving providing a range of storage and has a stable style door opening to the garden. A door leads to a small utility room with a Belfast sink and shelving, with a door to the garden.

On the first floor the main bedroom is dual aspect with the multi pane windows allowing views to the south over miles of countryside and to the west towards the sea. There are three further bedrooms, a separate w/c and a quality bathroom including a roll top bath and a separate shower cubicle. Oil fired central heating supplements the wood burner and oil fired Aga providing warmth throughout the accommodation.

Externally the property has level, very well-tended gardens surrounding the property with a variety of trees, a pretty front lawn having a couple of beautiful mature trees and a natural hedge boundary to the lane.
The larger area of garden is set to the rear with a expanse of lawn, a mature pond, flowerbeds, trees and fruit trees in the small orchard plus a slate chipping patio area ideal for enjoying the bulk of the days sun with a good deal of privacy.
To one side there is a kitchen garden with a shed, which is sheltered ideal for growing and a small woodland area. To the rear of the workshop there is a further lawn area with a greenhouse with gated access into the paddocks.

The 10 m long garage, /woodturning workshop has a further woodstore to the side and would be ideal to park cars or if you have a hobby including woodturning or engineering it would be a great space with electric and power connected.
It could easily be converted subject to the necessary planning conditions into a holiday or family annexe.
The owners have added a staircase leading to an external elevated balcony which has breath taking views towards the sea in the distance. There is a wooden cabin tucked away behind the workshop which has power and is ideal for an additional work space/work from home office.

The two paddocks are situated to the west of the property, are level and well drained and if permission was granted to install stables, if buyers wanted to use the land for equestrian purposes.

Overall, Harris's is a lovely package of property and land enjoying a superb location and could suit a buyer looking for an outdoors lifestyle, early retirement buyers or could be a fantastic family home.
