Giving the appearance of a traditional stone dwelling Slattenslade Cottage was in fact constructed during 2009 to very exacting standards. With stone elevations under a slate roof and with the extensive use oak joinery throughout the cottage and adjacent studio have been finished to a very high standard. The extensive use of 'Green Energy' sources makes for an economical home especially when combined with very high levels of insulation. A ground source heat pump provides central heating and hot water supplemented by solar panels, the water supply is from a borehole and private modern drainage is installed. There is under floor heating throughout.
This truly is an exceptional home; the well laid out accommodation has an attractive verandah style entrance with slate paving and oak framed canopy porch. The well equipped kitchen/dining room features oak flooring and with walnut fronted units with contrasting black African granite work surfaces. To the rear folding double glazed doors give access to the extensive private terrace, ideal for outside eating. Also located on the ground floor are two good bedrooms and a bathroom well equipped with a Jacuzzi bath with (World of Water) integrated shower/steamer, a sliding glass closure plus vanity unit and wc.
The oak staircase gives access to the first floor with galleried landing/library with an extensive range of fitted shelves. The comfortable sitting room has a vaulted ceiling with Velux roof lights and a recessed wood burner by Saey. At first floor is also the master bedroom which benefits from a well equipped ensuite shower room
Outside and adjacent to the cottage is the detached studio of matching construction with an open plan ground floor area with useful storage space, cupboards and a recess housing the Danfoss ground source heater unit together with pressure tank etc for the borehole water supply. The studio also includes a cloak room/utility room and the provision of an upper floor/sleeping area would be a relatively simple process, subject to any consents that maybe required.
Slattenslade Cottage enjoys an enviable location close to Woody Bay on the Exmoor National Park coast. The twin coastal towns of Lynton and Lynmouth linked by their famous cliff railway lie about 3 miles to the east and the A39 at Martinhoe Cross a little over 1 mile away provides a good route to Barnstaple the regional centre for North Devon. The North Devon link road (A361) can be accessed by the A399 from Blackmoor Gate which provides a good route to the M5 Motorway at Junction 27 (Tiverton).
