A characterful three-bedroom stone cottage set on a large plot with wide countryside views, offering peaceful rural living and immediate parking. The current accommodation includes a spacious kitchen/dining room, cosy living room with wood burner, a useful playroom/study and generous traditional stone outbuildings ideal for workshop or storage.
A major selling point is the approved planning consent (Ref: 4236/21/HHO) for a two-storey rear extension and landscaping. Those plans would reconfigure the ground floor and create a substantial six-bedroom home with three bath/shower rooms, a new kitchen, breakfast room and utility — a rare opportunity to significantly increase space and value.
Buyers should note practical matters plainly: the property runs on oil-fired heating with a boiler and wood burner, has an EPC rating of F, and the original granite walls are assumed uninsulated — improvement works will be needed to raise energy efficiency. Drainage is via a septic tank and broadband speeds are slow, which may affect those working from home.
Situated about a mile from East Allington with primary schooling nearby and regular bus links to Kingsbridge and Totnes, the house balances rural tranquillity with accessible amenities. The plot and approved plans offer clear scope for those wanting a character home with considerable extension potential, but expect further costs to upgrade services, insulation and energy performance.
