So what are the benefits of living in this cottage? In the parish of Hartland there is very little street lighting but there are wonderful views in the valley of the millions of stars in the unpolluted skies. The main water supply finishes at Stoke but there are two wells supplying water, exclusively, to the cottage. There is very little police presence in Hartland but there has been no serious crime in the last thirty years and it was three years before we had a visit from a policeman and that was to ask the way. In the Parish there are no traffic lights or roundabouts. The only speed restrictions are the narrow country lanes without crash barriers or yellow lines. If you want these benefits then this is your cottage. This delightful grade two listed cottage is set in the beautiful Speke valley near Hartland Quay in North Devon. The stream at the front of the property flows down through the valley to the stunning waterfalls that tumble over the cliffs and down to the beach of Speke Mills Mouth, which is only a 15 minute walk from the cottage. The cottage sits within a woodland and open farmland area with an absolute abundance of opportunity to take part in an array of outdoor pursuits. The village of Hartland is about 3 miles away where you will find a range of amenities that include café, shops, post office, pubs, medical centre, school and churches. The property started its life as a workers cottage belonging to the nearby Hartland Abbey Estate, originally a one bedroom cottage the property has been developed over the years to provide sizable accommodation. The present owners have enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of this unique property for over thirty years. This three bedroom cottage enjoys beautiful gardens, two garages and plenty of outside storage and would make the perfect retirement home or an investment to be enjoyed for those lovely country style holidays.
